CREATURE

©Robert C Burnham



My lonely corpse

Lies ‘neath the sand

Within this barren desert

I made my final stand

No one witnessed

My sweet demise

No one heard

My final lies

My heart wasn’t with me

When that final bell tolled

My mind too, removed

Though once extolled



All that is left

Haunting Apparition

Stalking with ancient

Babylonians & Phoenicians

A modern day mummy

I will come for you

My appetizer – your eyes

Your intestines – my stew

There is no cure

For the wrath I bring

Death’s taken my voice

But not my sting

 

----------------------------------------------------------

Happy Halloween.

Oooohh! Blood-curdling offering for the masker-tasker festival, Roberto! Very nice lead up to the ghostly denouement, I must say...

Thanks for this Halloween offering, mon ami... from the combo of poems you've gifted us today, your multi-faceted imagination seems to be soaring as high as ever.

How goes your higher education?!! hehehehe

Happy Halloween, werewolf cowboy!
