I watch from hollow eyes
As the demons keep coming back
Screaming spells in their disguise
Please help! My name is Jack

First of all CONGRATS on your 500th post and secondly......well done in your verse.  

May I add the following?

Hollowness forgets
wherein there is no haunting
in empty caverns
~~~~*~~~~


Through eyes of shining
of candles glowing essence
safey's path assured

Mark Bohannan…Thanks Mark I like your haiku's

                               Yes thanks for adding to my cry
                               And everyone has much to fear
                               Because I'll tell you why
                               The witching hour is near

Haleyja…Thanks Haleyja

                The wind calls those who have sinned
                When you least expect it
                Well I hope it's the wind
                Yes you will get it


Janet Marie…Thanks sweet Gatorette

                       You are at the gate
                       Flesh and bones a reality you'll miss
                       Beware of your fate
                       You may pass with a kiss

SEA…Thanks Sea
            
           Baby demons seem real cute
           Trying to bite at your feet
           Your screams fade to mute
           While your heart skips a beat

serenity…Thanks serenity

                 The moon has circled more then 5000 times
                 And the wicked witch has always been there
                 Casting spells of vicious black rhymes
                 But a clever wizard gives truth for dare  


My face is cut from sharpen spear
Awaiting feast becomes the bate
My expression rots through time with fear
Left alone to guard the gate

Butterflies_don't_cry…Thank you
                                      
                                       The path is dark
                                       Beware of the moon
                                       As you walk alone through the park
                                       Hoping for some light soon


Paula Finn…Thanks Paula for your rhyme

                     To enter you must speak
                     Three words a spell to get in
                     My soul is on fire as I rot and reek
                     The key is a demon's spell of sin

Charisma…Thank you
                    
My light is the way
I glow a single flame
The key is what you say
Rewards entering above your chin

I am the Gatekeeper
Hurry for the feast
Watch out behind you the Grim-Reaper
On every path you see the Beast

tracie66…Thank you

                 A piece of candy at the door
                 You cut my head and make it a crown
                 As the demons keep coming back for more
                 I sit with a smile sometimes a frown

The Lonely
Stranger…Thank you

                 Traveling spirits invade these souls
                 This is the witching hour
                 While funeral pyres dig their holes
                 A Poppy becomes a dead man's flower



My hollow eyes filled with fire
An affordable feast couldn't be any cheaper
Scary faces I did acquire
Jack-O-Lantern is the Gatekeeper

         this demons world so full of sin

         must speak...

I sit outside tonight
A gutless shell of fright
Rotting from the heat of light
As the Gatekeeper I invite
All the demons on this Halloween night


Insect: Congratulations on your 500th post. I would have posted earlier but I haven't been here that much lately. I have alot of catching up to do. As usual your creativity amazes me. Loved this one!

Paula Finn…

                    The spell is chanted "Trick or Treat"
                    You may come in if you want sin
                    To get sweet things for you to eat
                    You sexy She-Devil, you make me grin

kat…Thanks Purr Purr!

         Witches will fly
         The moon is full
         Listen to the wolfs cry
         Beware of Satan's hole

(kat did you get a chance to read Prince of Poetry)
(Nice to hear from you again)

                                                                Phantoms will stalk
                                                                Ghosts will haunt
                                                                Dead bolt your door lock
                                                                It's your soul they want

Wow and Wow again! I came in to say I liked your first verse ... and now they're everywhere, LOL! Excellent rhymes ... you've got a huge poem building up here Insect, and it's excellent! A most wonderful read on this dark and eery night (and I've got to get to bed, so I'd better read a few funny ones now ... ack!)

Well, hey there Punkin !

Congrats on the milestone !
You've sprinkled the pages with adorable little rhymes.

Candied apples, Gummi Bears
Little voices oft' repeat
Avoid the trick
Give me a treat !

Lone Wolf…Thank you

                      The sky is dark it's getting late
                      You must hurry to get home soon
                      Hearing spooky howl's as you lock your gate
                      Something's in the bushes and there's a full moon

Kit McCallum…Thank you

                           Lying in bed trying to sleep
                           Taps at the window your trying to ignore
                           Suddenly a strange noise as you jump to the closet in one leap
                           Relieved to find out it's your husband's loud snore

Paula Finn…
                      You horny Devil with a smile
                      Smokin kisses you will receive
                      You can stay for more than a while
                      It's hot and sweaty and you can never leave

Marge Tindal…Thank you

                         Racing from door to door
                         But in your path a black cat
                         Down the other way to get some more
                         You end up here and receive a Kit-kat


The ground shakes from evil voice
Asking for souls to share a time
Draining slowly with no choice
You're lost in this place of poetic rhyme

Lock the gate throw away the key
Share kisses hot and sweet
Why would this devil ever leave
When you give her such a treat?

Ron K. Fox…Thank you

                       Caught by the Devil of Hell
                       You struggle trying to get free
                       Sickened by his torture and smell
                       He says "give your soul to me"

Paula Finn…

                     Passionate kiss arousing sin
                     Dripping sweat from touches and taste
                     I chant the name "Paula Finn"
                     Grab on hard, grab on to my waist
                    

                                     Shivers invade your body
                                     Images become unclear
                                     Your soul starts to disembody
                                     Left alone with the ultimate fear

                                                      Time begins to slow
                                                      As you float to a place of pain
                                                      Feeling helpless you know
                                                      It's your mind going insane

My hands about your waist did roam
Holding tightly as we moan
Haunting kisses we do share
But what you offer I must beware

Paula Finn…

                     A night of passion and scare
                     Let evil sins swallow us bare
                     Move your lips closer so I may share
                     Then I'll eat you up so you better beware

Irish Rose…Thank you

                     Silent screams fill your mind
                     A deathly music deafens your ears
                     Lost voices of every kind
                     Search for you through your fears

ethome…Thank you

                Lightening strikes across the path
                An electrical force zaps your world
                Taking souls in a bloodbath
                Each body ripped apart as the pieces are hurled


Halloween is the gate to hell
Jack holds the key
Satan grows stronger from your painful yell
From the horror that awaits you as you begin to see

A death of torture and pain
You try to run but your feet are stuck
Slowly he enters in your brain
You've opened the wrong door must be bad luck

Prometheus…Thank you

                       Evil creatures crawl right by
                       A fog rolls in fast
                       The lights go out but you don't know why
                       Then Satan appears out of a fire blast

Paula Finn…

                     Invited in is a mistake
                     I'll steal your soul from one bite
                     Your virgin's blood I will just take
                     I'll devour you alive try not to fight

MA Miller…Thank you

                     Darkness is here
                     Demons are searching for you
                     Try not to show fear
                     Or soon enough you will be thru


                          Devil, demons a vampire I am
                          Sinful deeds are my way
                          I'll devour you like a wolf eats lamb
                          Sign this bloody contract and you may be OK

           So I lied your soul is mine
           In the mean time have your fun
           You're in deep no way to decline
           It's a bottomless hole no where to run

Who is fighting passionate one?
That bite is what I crave.
You are all this devil needs
My soul is yours to save.
