A Halloween Poem

"
I was working in the lab, late one night,
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight.
For my monster from his slab, began to rise,
And suddenly to my surprise,

Electric sparks danced in the dark,
Flickering shadows painted the walls,
A cacophony of laughter echoed,
As the stitches of time began to unravel.

Rusty gears creaked under the weight of creation,
Body parts stitched together,
A jigsaw puzzle of misfits,
Yet yearning for a breath of life.

His eyes�"glowing embers in the midnight gloom,
Reflecting the chaos of the world above,
A silent question lingering in the air,
What does it mean to be born again?

An awkward shuffle, a hesitant step,
The ground beneath him trembled,
I wondered if fear or excitement coursed through him,
What was it like, to awaken from the void?

In that moment, two souls connected,
Bound by ambition, stitched from madness,
A creator and his creation,
Defying the limits of flesh and time,

We danced in the flickering glow of the lab,
Where science met the supernatural,
Two sides of a coin, forever entwined,
In the stillness of that long, haunted night
