I hope you are not afraid of the dark, because this week is dedicated to ghouls, ghosts, haunts, specters, the ones who have risen from the grave or simply refused to accept their own deaths and maintain their ethereal existence, making their presence known to us.
I have rounded up some of the spookiest, most eerie, frightening, spirits haunting the halls of DA for your viewing pleasure.
Just be careful one does not decide to follow you home.
Spirit Beast
As all around you, thunder crashes,
and jagged flashes expose the rain,
the walls begin to shake and moan and,
the dream comes again to haunt your brain.
Now alone upon some dark plateau,
and trembling beneath a starry sky,
you stare in awe at your living dream,
which defies the howling winds nearby.
It has jagged lines of iron mist,
like lightning caught in striking motion,
that pattern across its graceful form,
seeming built on equine proportions.
Mismatched eyes see through your myriad lies,
and sweep away the world's deceptions,
leaving you with only painful truths,
each stored in small metallic piercings.
Though it's outline shifts and shapes at will,
it proudly stands before you, starlit,
both part and separate from the wind,
that's now dragging you, helpless, from it .
As all around you, songbirds warble,
and dawn's light sears through the fading scene,
you wonder if what you saw was real,
or just a ghost from a haunting dream.
