On Halloween Night

Ever since I was a child I fell in love with the Halloween Night Is it not a moment so wild One worthy of being seen as infinite This year's halloween has me all perked up With my own peers I would party and sup Deep into a dark and desolate forest Somewhere further away than civilisation's crest I dressed as a witch The one who was killed by Gretel I hoped to make all those who saw me itch Should they resist me, I would ask them for a duel We walked down the streets Children ran everywhere with bags full of sweets It was a night oh so lovely I felt like I had begun to live, oh how lovely! We reached our destination, the lonely forest It was so silent, nothing moved, not even the trees, the largest We reached a clearing And we settled for some dining! It would have been still so lovely But Oh how gruesome It came from nowhere, a beast so fearsome And made of my peers a meal so hearty It was so huge, with eyes so red, with teeth so sharp He let me live, for from my mouth, prayers I did warp Then I felt it, a hand lifting me up from my near death Taking me back to the security of home, as if giving me a new birth Oh for a halloween, it surely is the most deadly one I have lived My peers are gone, I hope that beast as well no more does breathe!
