We're lost in tumult of mixed beliefs by,
fairytales and urban legendes unfold.
Despite every denial and every lie,
we will meet them at the end of the world.
Gypsy witches withered in the cursed flame,
surrendering into mortal accusal.
Werewolves watch the full moon with perfect aim,
hiding in the mists as a deviant mammal.
Vampires dwell the twilight with fanged teeth,
feeding the bane of their immortal plague.
Mermaids watching the world ocean-eyed with,
a beautiful curse rested in their ache.
Dark elves danced on the pale pixie dust,
in the forest of sweetened greenery.
Zombies of tortured souls resurrected,
assembled in cremated sorcery.
Separating our vestal sanctuary,
from an underworld of denied presence.
Portrayed as an infernal augury,
in a vast library of existance.

Great write! I love the imagry and the darkness. It may be strange, but I believe in the existance of all of these beasts. Can anyone afford not to? I absolutely love the last stanza.

Well this was very well written. Nice word usage, not your run of the mill spooky tale with generic words. Nice flow and structure. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Halloween

here the descriptions, images and really nicely-flavoured words are really tremendous to me.
