The Resident Evil
CXXVII. Halloween's Evil Eye
2.
It thrives unseen underneath;
Abides and bides its time,
Preparing to lurch and lunge,
Expunging unsuspecting victims,
Bequeathing direst damage
At any monstrous dismal moment.
4.
Its screams are mute and silent.
Its cobwebs, invisible and tensile.
Its creaking floor, an eerie echo
Pulsating from within the haunted soul.
Its poison. poised, reprehensible,
Waiting for the unwary to be drawn in.

1.
Atrocities that are the scariest
Of all the seasons' horrors,
Aren't spooks and vampires.
This scary evil lurks rotting, deep
Within the human heart and soul;
Ever insidious, dark and damning.
3.
It darkens light to pitch blackness,
Bares brittle bones to dust,
Scares depths of love to ice,
Shivering, chilling everything,
Sending whatever's good inside
To run, to shrink, to hide.
Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor
Gruesome Halloween
Creeps in between
Our hallowed doors
On all its forked fours
To terrify and plunder
Our most sacred alms.
The fearsome strains
Crimson stains of
Shamefully shed blood,
The dirge and coffin,
Caskets full of death
Of all that's good
Which once had stood.
Now too often
Falters 'fore it fails.
Hear the screams,
The weeping wails
Of anguished pains
Of ghosts in chains
Upon this unholy night
Of heightened fright
When it is Halloween!

Inner Good vs. Evil
The war within
Wages for the soul.
A person's normalcy
Disguises torturous turmoil
Showing through as evil
Mean spiritedness,
Expresses itself with
Hideous hatefulness.
Smiling all the while,
Pretending innocence.
True evil is of spirit.
