Birthday Party

The month of October a place in time
Harvest moon and change of mind
Darker nights and colder climes
Starlit sky and flickering flames
Insane with what it really  means
Born again on Halloween

Loads  of gothic decorations
Placed with precise destination
Symbolism and latent dreams
Horror and fear and rising steam
Smoke and fog and misty scenes
Born again on Halloween

Ageless stories  and hidden  rumors
Lies and tales  and fouler  humor
Memories that frighten me
Deja vu with  revelry
Hope that I will never see
Born again on Halloween



Quiet in a shadowed world
Quiet in a shouted word
Quiet what its meant to be
Late alone or alone it seems
Midnight late and later means
Born again on halloween

Invited to a festival
Invited  to a carnival
Invited to a jubilee
Married to a ghostly team
Living with the dead just weaned
Born again on halloween

Older and then  placing bets
Parties and people and I  forget
Party and the joy of sex
Femme fatal with  rosary
Losing weight and getting lean
Born again on halloween
