In the Cradle

Blood fed little one
tucked tight in your bed
Settled are the wicked
Now sleep like the dead

~ElizaDeath

Baby's Room

Just Ask

If you knew the answers
you could put the doubts to bed
All the what and when
would be anchored to hope

So, ask away
And never mind
what you ask today
is constantly altered
on the path to tomorrow

~ElizaDeath

Best Friend

When betrayed
I grab a pin
Chant out loud
A secret sin
You'll be sorry
in the end
from the wrath
of my good friend

~ElizaDeath

Premonition

Through these eyes I see
things disturbing
Quite indeed
I try to blind and
hide my head
Ignore the visions
being said
Some say gift
while others doubt
Ambiguous messages
I puzzle about

~ElizaDeath

Death Waits

Someday soon
Sooner than you think
Sooner than you hope
Someday soon
I will come to call
I will take you home
Someday soon
Your troubles will rest
Your body will rot

~ElizaDeath

Matching

When darkness falls
the gloom begins
In this room
ghostly twins
My rare gift
like Danny boy
Shining bright
A psychic toy

Portal

Through this portal
dimension and time
past and present
connect and bind
what you see
light and flicker
is yourself
a ghostly figure

Skoggra

Want this doll? Bid Here


I am Skoggra
One of many
A forest fairy
Trickster true

Heed this warning
As life depends
The Caraway seed
Is not my friend

Resurrection Mary

Left the dance
Heading home
Why a fair girl
On the road alone?
As a good deed
I'll offer a ride
And at the gate
She vanishes inside

~ElizaDeath

Illustrated Legends - Horseman

On my way home through the forest thick
I should have thought this journey through
The trip by day is benign enough,
quite enjoyable as a matter of truth
Yet now, entirely different,
are the wooded trails by night

As comfort I remember the dance,
the drink and laughter of early
Night air has cleared my mind
And in the quiet I can hear
Another who is home bound

Gallops at a greater pace
would reach the bridge before I
And then I wonder
what ever became of Mr. Crane

~ElizaDeath

Illustrated Legends - Mothman

A dream perhaps, or so it seemed
A moth-like man came to me
Eyes of red came darting down
Sent from hell, a devil's hound

I heard tales yet never believe
the rambling folk and prophecy
But here I am in Holy house
clear my head, rid the doubt

~ElizaDeath

Watcher

Someone to watch over you

Play

It is past our bedtime and we shall play
Into wee hours of the night, we're awake
Gone are the hardships and turbulent times
All the sorrows of a Victorian life

Forgotten

Up for Auction Here


Your photographs cast away
Your belongings deteriorated
Long gone are the memories
And now you are but a name
for there is no one to remember
your lovely face

Little Bones

Little Bones
Neither here nor there
Messages from the living
Sent to the dead
A rap, A knock
A bump in the night
Makes us worry
Are you alright?

A day of Ancestors
We come to honor
Gifts of small detail
The candies, cakes and skulls

A grave-side picnic
In great celebration
As memories do linger
The dead are among us

Ghosts, Goblins and Ghouls

This mixed media collage is up for auction Here


Halloween night
We don't have to hide
Perfect attire
To play outside
Scare the living
Not tonight
For they don't know
We're ghosts inside

~ElizaDeath

Rest for a while

Rest for a while
Under Moon and stars
This old soul so many lives
Haunting pasts
Linked to each new day
That now I'm weary
Of unconscious ways

~ElizaDeath

Pumpkin Fairy

As Halloween is nearing
My skin begins to crawl
The ghosts, the ghouls
And all things Goth
I wait and wait
For dark chilled nights
Slow creeping shadows
To fill me with fright

~ElizaDeath

Capture...your attention

That cold feeling
When you're alone
As a thought
In a memory

Tis only me
As I take earthly form
A brief hello
Or a silent comfort

For I may be gone
In my physical form
But I am my spirit
Free to roam

~ElizaDeath

Lulled

Soft and sweet the music of my time
When you play, I'm at your side
Lulled is my ghost
For it's soul is soothed
On melodies floating
Into this dustful mind

Evil Dolly

Evil dolly
My best friend
You cannot hide
Your true intent

Deceptions, betrayals
A lie here and there
Accepted behavior
For a Vampire girl

All these years
And still no guise
When I peer
Into big, black eyes

~ElizaDeath
