Sad expressions for eternity on frozen faces.
Actual tears mark their frosty cheeks.
Beneath the music and gaiety, lies an undercurrent of evil.
THE DEAD GAME
FROZEN IN FEAR
Month: January 2021
WHO GOES THERE?
What lies hidden beneath End House?
Familiar faces & bony countenances.
A cacophony of moans & sounds.
A community of creatures living in the tunnels.
Friends who might be returning to the living,
Or the living who might be joining The Dead.
THE DEAD GAME

HE LIGHTS MY FIRE
He lights my fire
to take me higher.
The town’s on fire,
set by the sire.
He comes tonight
for the big fight.
He comes for me
from the dark sea.

PREY FOR THE DEAD
PREY FOR THE DEAD
by Susanne Leist
The Florida coast is beautifully evoked by water that ‘shimmered in alternating shades of azure and cerulean blue’ and ‘the scent of zinnias and lavender’ that ‘permeated the gentle wind.'”–Kirkus Reviews
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
The sun will shine again.
You will stroll with a friend.
Colorful flowers will take bloom.
Normality will be back soon.
PLAY ME
Can my words soothe your dark soul?
Can my love ease the pain of night?
Try me.
Play me.
THE DEAD GAME
ESCAPE ROOM
The walls close in.
I need to escape
this life of sin.

LOVE LIVES
The waves echo your name.
The flowers carry your scent.
The breeze whispers your secret.
Your destiny awaits.
THE DEAD GAME
PASSIONS BURN HOT
Passions burn hot in Florida
as sizzling as a summer day
beneath the scorching sun.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
by Susanne Leist
I MUST CHOOSE
Confused I may be,
I can’t set him free.
He has me in his thrall,
but I refuse to fall.
After I shut my eyes for the night,
it’s his face I see in the dim light.
