Russell Sivey Poet Rubaiyat

In the Dark of Halloween

In the dark the creatures come out
It’s that time of year, some do shout
The creepiest ones come out late
Living in shadows they wait no doubt

The darkness is the most extreme
When you walk alone it seems
There are no other people alive
That would risk the darkness like me

I love Halloween, and it sure does show
I follow no one’s way, for that I know
That my heart allows me to live
With what people want to see, and to grow

My soul lives within the nighttime hearts
Everything that it does show or impart
I belong with the darkness and its show
I want to be there when the darkness starts
