It is the magic held within the darkness, the whispering of the night winds, Echoing through haunted graveyards, cast are thus ancient spells, illuminated Beneath the harvest full moon, in this eerie landscape the underworld is Released, and the undead are free to walk amongst the living, mingling on This sacred holiday of mysticism, and it is so called, Halloween. In the ethereal shadows figures move with shades dark eloquence, As ghostly phantoms enchant the souls of the innocent, passions Pleasures soothes the hearts of sadness, for tonight the very air itself Is magical, offering a moments release for the spiritually condemned, Until the last stroking bong of midnight, is heard off in the distance. Sorcery's wicked witchy women, fly by sources unseen power of the Supernatural, cackling with laughter's wild sounding of the jackal, do They weave their intricate incantation's, to capture their victim's of hearts desire. Blooming on the mountain side, the wolf bain does blossom, and hidden Beneath its evergreen leaves, is the star gazer dressed within wolves Furry garments, howling love sick, unto his ill fated mate, she so answers With screams reply, and the pack adds another member, and now These forbidden lovers run together, beside the path of humanities kindred. Mischievous tricksters are they; poltergeists playing trick or treats pranks, Vaporous creatures whom thoroughly enjoy frightening humanity unto Their inner most core. But heed my warning dear friend; call no priest, for blessing sake for These demons of mists, shall reek, havocs vengeance upon thee, Instead leave them well enough alone. A twisted fellow is Mr. Jack-O-Lateran, appearing body less, with his head Impaled upon fencing’s spike, what a Gringrichy grimace does he so make, As a candles light aglow shines from within, his mounted handled top hat, Exposing the freakish smile on his orange pumpkin face. The vamperic ring master, on this night of horrors terror, welcomes the unwary Traveler, to take part in this celebration extravaganza, come one and come all. Let us so partake in these evenings’ festivities, El Carnival, As the children of the night, serenade mankind in the back ground, Beyond our earthy realm. As the mornings first rays of light, brush their finger tips across the Horizon's canvas, the darkness is banished once again, creeping Beneath the under belly of the sun, as all evil creatures melt, and fading Within the shades hollows, until next years celebration takes place once More, on this darkest of holidays, called Halloween.
