As light now blends the blacks and greys beyond the gate to marbled maze. Where souls will prance the matted lawn and living are lost, now surely gone. For in the night, of laughing haunt a spirit looms to flaunt and taunt. A vision bound by shadow’s fall to echo a cry, to call, to call. Hark, does not thy spirit see the eyes of fright in fear of thee? Wherein a heart now beats in haste and time is nigh, too soon erased. Comes to the crack of broken ground, as tendrils spread in silent sound. Where be the flood in crimson red to cringe the blight in haunted dread. For now the cauldron bubbles well in wait the chosen witch’s spell. And whence the clock is struck of twelve the tombs of old shall open, delve. And in the spoon of sipping brew a howling shall emit the stew. For when the boil once leaks the soil the dead shall rise to dreaded toil. For on the night of Hallow’s preen the ghastly forms are stalking seen. And candy fills those waiting hands before the vampire rises, stands. |

The Chocolate Monster just tasted your brew. I have no control of my trusty broom. If I don't watch out we'll fly into the stew. The Chcolate Monster has to go find some chocolate to regain her equilibrium. By for now...... The Chocolate Monster |
