The Way I See Halloween
Signifying the season
One that my heart follows
Flowing through my veins
She laughs at me
And my desires
Trick or treats lasts only
For as long as dusk
But then the real life
Of Halloween begins
Even days before
The love is shown
The house full of
Delightful pumpkins
Carved in horrid faces
Witches potions around
With the hats to show
They were there
The skeletons baste
In the yard
Glows under the moon
Spider webs spread about
Mummies sit on the porch
With the many pumpkins
Of the Jack-O-Lantern sort
And with the skeletons
Are the scarecrows
That hold the ravens
That follow me around
Lights are eerie
And turned down low
This night keeps me up
With its electrifying show
Dancing with the evil
Only found on this night
Brings a subtle joy inside
No man can comprehend
It’s truly amazing
The enormous feelings
That ghosts feel too
This is why she laughs at me
