All Hallows Eve.
Here lies a poem inspired by HP Lovecraft. I’ve finally did some nipping and tucking to come to what I believe is the final piece. Enjoy!
– The Gaunt
Rubescent moon waxing o’er ghoul infested bayous
Spears of light thro’ haunting cypress trees
On Howling lupine creatures of ancient lore
As devils dance ghoulishly over hells open door
A chthonic masquerade
Borrowed flesh masks hath been made
To celebrate this, All Hallows Eve
And hold high all those souls who still grieve
Can ye remember, if truly tried
Ere the crown of thickly thrones
And the showering of golden horns
The bygone nights danse macabre
A waltz for the skeleton crew
That drank freely the cemetery dew
Whilst feasting on the living glow
With the raven and the crow
Infinite was the torture of time
Dagon and dragon struggled to survive
Even the monsters that you fear
Can shed a despairing tear
A nightmare for nightmare makers
But lo, a pact was struck with the undertakers
All the damned were set free
With the slow turn of the God key
Hell night hath returned upon the mortal shores
Begin again the screaming of the earthwalking whores
And on reapers hill the factory of doom,
Smoked and coughed again the smogs of gloom
A grand party, a monstrous affair
All the living will fall into despair
As we celebrate this All Hallows Eve
And hold high those souls who still grieve.
