Full moon ushers Hallow’s Eve
Midnight hangs like silent death
A shallow grave now relieved
Exhales spirit through ghastly breath
Rotting patiently in hallow ground
Relished thought of settled scores
You hear the hell-sent frightful sounds
As she claws outside your door
The bullet riddled bride
Has come for better or worse
Enacting vows denied
Just as she’d rehearsed
Murdered by her hopeful groom
Blood now seeping from the floor
Crimson flow surrounds the room
Joining souls forevermore
Calculations quite amiss
She slowly pulls you down
Sealing union with a kiss
Tonight you’ll join her in the ground

dang... she really pissed him off didn't she??????
Can't beat a happy ending! Loved it.
Wow, spooky! Perfect for this time of year.
WHOA ho! I loved this poem! So creepy! !
A very spooky poem - I'm left wondering why her "hopeful" groom murdered her? And the "relished thought of settled scores" is a great line.
Ouch. Looking for love in all the dark places. Terrific writing...
I wrote something like this long time back. Love does have darker shades.
Paisley, suppose justice is found eventually. Keith, not sure the ending is happy, you must be an optimist! Sarah, thanks for your comments. Pam, what is Halloween without a little creeping out. Paris, perhaps afraid of commitment? Tumblewords, love your "looking for love in all the dark places." Gautami, sometimes the darker places need light shed upon them.
