The ball slowly rolls

Fear Filled Fridays (1/26/2018): The Lamp
Haunted?
Cursed.
Trapped?
Inside.
∞
The lamp – the object,
is cursed.
We’ve seen it turn on.
Hidden in the attic.
Sitting all alone.
No current, no electricity.
Does the spirit linger?
In objects,
once the body passes on.
Forever – eternal.
Never truly gone.
Do objects have a special place?
Some residual energy.
Do objects hold the key?
To all the spirits you hear and see.

Victim’s will be taken,
with the piercing of a bite.
Warm soft blood,
eternal living from dying light.

Haiku – 1/13/2018
Salt and pepper skies
Thick clouds filled with winter rain
Day, cold, bleak, and grey

Fear Filled Fridays (1/12/2018): Haunted
Hear the eerie wind whistle, across the cold dark night,
see the unknown figure, float into sight.
Slowly it drifts, pale and transparent.
It stops and looks at me.
I look at it.
Its eyes are not there, only sockets full of despair.
A smile rises across its face,
the grin is pure evil and full of pain,
it raises an arm and points to the right,
towards the graveyard just out of sight.
I freeze at the window and shake at the knees.
A cold sweat creeps down my back, just like I’m under attack.
I scream at the top of my lungs, “Go away leave me alone!”
It drops its arm and dissolves with a cold chilly laugh.

Haiku – Tropical Holiday 2
This is another one of mine that kind of got lost in the shuffle earlier this month. I liked the sound of it so I thought I would give it another shot at stardom this Christmas season.
