Halloween Art Contest Entry
Happy Halloween in advance and hope this fellow doesn't visit you on Halloween night. He sees everything and lays all your secrets bare for all to view. He's on his way and I pray it's me he visits that night so that you are spared the discomfort he unleashes every Halloween. Rather me than you, dear friend! :)
'You Will Hide No More'
'Twas upon a dark night dreary
That I saw with my eyes bleary,
The visage, grim and eerie,
That would plague me evermore.
It was a face I will remember
Till I die, for each foul member
Gleamed bright in the dark November
Night that cloaked the beaked eyesore.
For a bird of gothic gore
Was the guise that the fiend wore.
Its eyes were blue and were unpleasing
For they held a gaze unceasing.
In terror, my face, uncreasing,
Froze till my eyes blinked no more.
Its sharp beak then seemed to burrow
Through my soul; a yawning furrow
It ploughed. 'Twas a true and thorough
Dissection of my mind's core.
'Twas a panoptic unveiling
Of my sins; my every failing
Was laid bare and unavailing
Were my pleas that they once more
Be veiled as they were before.
'No' said It. 'You'll hide no more'
I was seized by an unease
Which by slow measured degrees
Became a chronic disease
Of the mind; I was done for!
And since that night on my face
I've worn a look I can't erase.
It's one of shame and deep disgrace
For all eyes through mine can bore
Into my soul; secrets no more
Are all that I hid before!
