Halloween Night
Among the masked faces and coloured smoke,
All I remember is the shadow that spoke.
I won’t forget how loud it did scream,
It still lingers… creeping into my dreams.
Away from my friends I stood there alone
On an empty road, thinking of the souls forlorn.
Screams and wails I suddenly heard:
From a shadow… leaning on an old barrier.
It didn’t stop, though I struggled hard
Until I saw the road leading to an old graveyard.
The screams echoed, but I knocked down flat.
Someone had carried me away, and I was out of that.
But in all my life, I never had known,
Any news from the shadow that spoke.
