Did You Know There Is A Stalker Waiting?

His shadow can be seen slightly
from his hiding spot behind the tree
a quiet stalker of souls he will
wait for his appointed moment
to step out and place his hand
on the shoulder of the living
once touched it is a downhill slide
toward the pit of no-man's land
the forever after of nothingness
as always his life plan
you can pull away all you want
his hand has an eternal grip
and once chosen you may escape, but
he'll lay in wait again behind the tree
until he escorts you down the dark path

soul stalker, i wouldn't call him that
when bodies have become all worn
he waits for you in suit and hat
been watching you since you were born.
a friend who holds your freedom key
not something evil, sinister
when he comes for you, do not flee
let go, death is sweet, not bitter.

Hi Shirley I enjoy your posts but would take this in a different direction, neither dark nor alludin to a light, but a more gentle sense of the hand bein generic, and the unknown come to take me home. Good write though. I'm pretty much aware of my expiration date.

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

This is a narrative with no punctuation and short sentences. Sorry but poems have flow, they're not just 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc.

Luckily I do not believe in evil or yours would be the scariest Halloween poem yet!

The Challah

I watch the ropes of dough
Intwined in a golden loop
How sad it is to know
This bread shows a loathsome truth.
The two rings of tasty bread
Are good motives and vile
Hard to get in my head
That they always reconcile.
Turn a good motive over
And you will always find the bad
And the evilest beast on their cover
Can be sweet loving moms and dads.
The challah as a spiritual axiom
I believe is always so
Hand in hand with odium
Beautiful flowers grow.

So that cold chill I got this morning was not the blanket shed? Excuse me, I need to start running! Fun read in a darkish way.
