Enchanted Flame

Once upon a foggy night

When the devil’s moon was full and bright

There came a sound like never before

A dreadful cry and then no more

I rushed outside to look around

Nothing afoot, no evil abound

 

From a passing glance, I caught a glimpse

Something lurking  in the distance

I could feel its stare locked on mine

I approached ever slowly, now the time

But all I saw was the rushing creek

The bitter cold upon my cheek

 

I turned to leave and head to home

When off in the distance I saw a glow

Twisting and turning the amber flame

Dancing on air, calling my name

Sensual heat passionate fire

Consumes my soul, takin it higher

 

Higher and higher into the night

Prancing fingers all a-bright

Smoke is rising through the air

As ashes fall with bitter despair

The amber flame slowly dies

One last flicker of flame, then no more.

Wow...this is a side of you I haven't seen before now. Must be from your love of scary movies. It reads fast and furious. Couldn't wait to find out more. Great job!

holloween is my favorite holiday, j.m, you have captured the spooking
essence of this ghostly tale perfectly, the imagery is written with
heightened effect, which in turn adds to the descriptive ambience,
creating a vivd emotional effct, i could see the light flickering,
this classic poem takes the reader to the moment of happening, mike
