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
