Like Lighting a Candle

Death here is like lighting a candle.
Their wicks are cut close to the base,
dipped in wax and burnt at the stake

For many the centuries in time it's said
You can never be sure if they're actually dead
Find a Harvest moon on All Hollow's Eve

This is a night that all mortals grieve

 

Black Magick is angry, jealous, and sour

It can get all the more rotten with ever waking hour

 

Cut off the head, dip it in candle wax,
Let the body burn, but never relax
A witch can come back with the dead at her toes
Following her shadow, where ever she goes

The leaders will lie with damnation in their throats
When you hear cries of the dead, remember their quotes

"We speak of them but never tell
A secret we will take to Hell"

When revenge is on a dead witch's tongue
There will be nary a safe place to run
And don't dare think you're safe from death
For she'll come back to rip out your last breath.

    I really like this

    This is an excellently poem a so suited for the Halloween season. The flow is great and the I love rhyme so well done. My favorite lines are,

    Find a Harvest moon on All Hollow's Eve
    This is a night that all mortals grieve

    "We speak of them but never tell
    A secret we will take to Hell"

    and I just love the ending:

    When revenge is on a dead witch's tongue
    There will be nary a safe place to run
    And don't dare think you're safe from death
    For she'll come back to rip out your last breath.

    Fabulously written good luck in the contest and thanks for entering!!
