Halloween Revelries

By Richard H. Fay

Skeletons dance mad jigs
Atop neglected graves
While tiny impish fiddlers
Perched upon headstones
Play their manic melodies.
Goblins slink out of the dark
To join the strange merriment,
Their rough voices adding
A raucously throaty chorus
To the unearthly music.
  
Beyond the macabre fête,
Past a broken iron fence,
Deep in a darkened wood
Where eldritch beings dwell,
Phantoms freed from bounds
Tying them to past abodes
Whirl 'round benighted trees,
Enrapt in frenzied delight 
Over finally being unfettered 
On this uniquely weird night.

A Mystery Better Left Alone

By Richard H. Fay

As I undo the rusty latch
Binding this fusty tome,
I eagerly await answers
To arcane questions
Sane folk never dare ask.

Beneath the bound cover,
Within crackling pages
Rendered from human flesh,
I seek to learn forbidden lore,
And solve the riddle of life.

Reading words penned in blood,
Gaining knowledge forsaken by all,
I forfeit my very soul
To resolve a mystery
Better left alone.

Forbidden for a Reason

By Richard H. Fay

Seeking secrets suppressed by society,
I pore over ponderous tomes of taboo lore,
Books banned for their forbidden facts.
Weird words open a dangerous doorway
Allowing abominations to penetrate our plane,
Dealing a devastating and destructive doom.
