Scary Halloween
*************

Sauntered around lost, confusion abounds.
I feel the groveling of Hades' fire hounds
in the streets of chaos … making their rounds.
Ebony flutters 'round me,
reeking creatures pound me … plea …
at the end of life's road.

Flickering flames lick and devour my flesh
in scenes the devil reels. He's doing his best!
Inside my heart I know it's but a test.
All life's sadness engulfs me--
they engorge on misery—
at the end of life's road.

There are monsters of beasts, monsters of man …
not all make efforts to better … some fan
flames of indifference; some rape our land!
I've sinned but have repented,
made mistakes … but relented
till the end of life's road.

Deafened by sounds of silence hovering,
I am slowly changing … taking on wings.
I've no fear of these horrendous beings
who rarely give up a soul.
Heaven lifts me; it's my goal

at the end of life's road.
