Dim the way,
keep it dark,
play old soundtrack
screaming park,
let proud growls,
write the book,
blood in moonlight’s
quite a look
for chaste is poor,
devil’s rich,
see more smiles,
in the pitch -
lo’ beacons; gone,
thus, no sight,
all, so pure;
must make a fight,
stir the means,
that make a man,
no god is mentioned
in this plan
for mirror’s smashed,
decline; neglect,
as true beast,
does not reflect!

- Comment from author about the poem: Despite still not being 100 %, I thought I would write a little something pertinent to the season. This little "gothic" poem does not mention any typical creature associated with Halloween, but of course, tells the horror story of a true beast that still calls itself "the custodian of the planet", us! Like the symbolic candles in the banner picture, I hope that we can truly reclaim a base, strong and wholesome light, to override such a prolonged, orchestrated, grotesque celebration of over-complication, division and dissatisfaction. I hope to share more seasonal and more positive words with you, I hope that enjoy the poem, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.
