FROM FEAR WITH LOVE



I'm watching you
pretending.
Ghouls, vampires, ghosts
you hope in sun they fade.
You're kidding right?
They're figments.
Not imagination.
My sheer fright
dwelling in your night.
I give you monsters real,
occult boogeymen
waiting
to gobble your life.

You run.
But unless we're face to face,
me in your light,
HHHHHHAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH
there's no escape.


Happy Halloween

    Cool title. I think leering pumpkins are the creepiest.

    Myrna Dear, it's always a thrill to see that you contributed to the Friday Fun
    It's a sure sign of a Top Shelf story.
    Loved your Ghoulish 55
    Thanks for playing, don't be such a stranger, thanks for your support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

    The first two lines, really are a legitimate fear... being watched, unknowingly, and someone who isn't honest.
