Hapless Stingy Jack
Had a vile reputation
A deceiver, a liar
Found himself in a precarious situation
Doomed to roam the dark
The Devil threw him a flame
Jack tossed it in a Jack-O-Lantern
And gave the gourd its name

Twas a charming folly
Waking to morning sighs
We spent midnight exploring
A thousand stories, as many lies
Alas, you met your match
In a roughish lass like me
I left you with nary a shred of truth
On my latest heartbreak spree

With a whisper in your nightmare, the hounds begin the chase. In anthropomorphic witchery I ride with the Hunt. Skin shredding to bone, I take my beastly form. This night I will convoke the spoken secrets of your soul

Made a deal with myself
I ignored the devil
With telltale tools of my craft
I called spirits to revel
Our drink & food & merriment
Lucifer claimed as his own
In punishment for my affront
I’m left with candle, book & bone

moonlight sets us free
it is when the stars are mine
I watch sailing constellations
traveling through time
my celestial obsession
æther's essence sublime
I gaze in wonder at
the universe’s grand design

From one of my favorite #poems. As a kid I would read this before going to bed, The Stolen Child ~ William Butler #Yeats
"Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand."

While Hatter discusses
the tonic in the tea
I want to munch on the cake
they moved so far away from me
But they left me a knife
I’ll soon pull it free
Damn their Yerba Mate
I’m on a murderous confection spree

By the hellish host
My music long since silenced
Strains of dark night play

By day she was a dignified funeral director. Composed, as she led corpses to their resting place. Comforting to their loved ones. The same loved ones who came back later to find out the secrets of the dead. Yes, by night she was The Undercover Necromancer
