time-tested rafters
there, at the end of Revenant Lane
Gallows House dwells in derelict pain
lurked in the murk of nightfall brume
deathless decay midst All Hallows gloom
on this night each year the Veil abates
to gather lost souls direct from hell’s gates
assemble them all in Gallows’ great hall
gather them full in twilight’s thick pall
here, sorrow deep and malice combine
in the form of a noose of tragic design
a fresh soul to claim shall hang in the eaves
a fresh soul to seize while families grieve
no treat only trick for kids who dare
to knock on black doors without a care
or play naughty pranks on this unholy eve
discover their souls never shall leave
ringed in thick by phantoms that smother
years of victims deliver another
halls choked brimming with brimstone laughter
there, found swinging from time-tested rafters
Perfectly spooky… thank you for sharing.
Tis the season! Thank, Dianna! 👻💀🎃🍷
Nice and creepy, very appropriate for the season
Said for the mistress of horror, I’ll take it as his praise, m’friend. 🖤👻🪦🙏
I particularly love the time-tested rafters. That is so creepy. Anything that speaks of child victims gives me the chills. Terrific metre and rhyme. Well done Pat!
Thanks so much, Naomi. Definitely went for something extra creepy for Halloween. 🙏👻🥀🪦🎃
You’ve a dark soul PS Conway😳
