"THE BLACK GRIMOIRE"

(Copyright 1991 by: MARK V SHELDON)

Through hallways dark
And ceilings tall
Behind the stones
That make the wall

Inside the crypt
Below the stairs
Within a room
Where no one dares

Before a shelf
With knowledge old
Upon a stand
Of iron cold

There lies a tome
With lock ajar
A book of spells:
THE BLACK GRIMOIRE.

This manuscript
Of ancient lores
Contains within
Forbidden doors

Infernal cries
Like none have heard
Lie just beyond
A single word

And spirits wait
To be unbound
And claim as theirs
The mortals found

Transforming souls
To hellish tar
Forever damned:
THE BLACK GRIMOIRE.

Dust suspended
In the air
The smell of mold
Everywhere

Candles flicker
Casting light
On the parchment's
Evil site

Symbols drawn
In human blood
Giving praise
To things of mud

Foreign script
In unknown toungue
Possessing life
Into dung

Sounds that make
The fearless scared
Vile smells
That none have bared

Conjurations
That defy
Nature's laws
With darkened sky

Brought about
Through sorcery
Midnight pact
Not meant to be

Invoking demons
From afar
To channel through:
THE BLACK GRIMOIRE.

Inspired by
A muse from Hell
Calling forth
An evil swell

Entities
From lowest planes
Waiting to
Usurp the reigns

Creatures not
To be described
All those whom
The Dark One bribed

Legions in
The bowels of sin
Hoping to
Break through and win

Fiendish powers
Permeate
Incantations
Deviate

Stygian
In every way
This Book of Dead
Kept from the day

Always sought
But never found
This blasphemy
Of sacred ground

So long it lies
With lock ajar
Man's fate is in:
THE BLACK GRIMOIRE...

I've been reading Harry Potter, and I think he would have grabbed this from the shelf and dared to open it. Guess it's a good thing he's still stuck in a story book.A good write, Mark, and it reads itself outloud nicely.

Perfect spooky repost, Mark. This is a very good write. Though halloween is more depressing to me this year, usually I get in the dark spirit pretty easily.
Who knows..bla bla..
But I like this a lot, as I did when I first read it,

Kacy:  I wonder what would happen if Harry recited some things from this book?  Would his teachings help?  Thanks for the read and reply.

My Melody:  Be careful not to read aloud too loudly or else...  who knows...?  I think I channeled Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft with this one.  I'm glad you enjoyed.

Sandra:  Thanks for the re-read.  Somehow, I find that it's much easier to get into the Halloween spirit than Christmas...  it seems to be less pretentious.
