The Dead Return On Halloween

The Dead Return On Halloween

A Poem by Eric Cox

Do you feel a cold chill up your back
could it be it is a ghost of black
yes the dead return on Halloween
though few of their ghostly forms can be seen
do you feel eyes upon you
there's nothing you can do
the dead walk the Earth throughout this day
dark ghosts try to paint it tombstone grey
accidents that aren't really accidents will darken
whispers from the dead will haunt you if you listen
a wispy eerie form may haunt your mind
the essence of the dead may crawl inside
can you sense the ghostly forms unseen
the dead return on Halloween.

This just gave me goosebumps. SCARY. Although, really, I'm thinking more about Christmas than about Halloween with the weather...hehehehe.

Nothing like a graveyard and a dark night to awake a imagination. I like the feel and the the tale in this poem. A excellent Halloween poem.
