the moon did change its silvery view 
replacing it now was a blood red hue....

There just beyond thicket of the marsh...

Sitting uncomfortably on my kitchen chair, waiting for the doorbell to ring,
I think back to past Halloweens, underlying feelings - this uneasiness thing.

The back door....

Around one thirty amid the Octobers early morn

A beautiful young lady dressed in sheer black

Pomegranate lips with the deepest of dark alluring eyes

Long flowing ebony silkened hair; radiant

An hour-glass figure of ivories white...

In honor of Actor Frank Reddick, Jr.

Glancing up for a moment

From within the parties crowd

The first time, that I had ever beheld

Her alluring blue eyes, azure

When everything stood still....

Frozen, in slow motion

As they all disappeared

A meeting of destinies paths

That were always...

tossing away the things that make us sane 
Subliminally casting all away to an abandoned sky

from nothing to form or nothing to no were
flying through clear abandoned...

The widow had baked chocolate chip cookies
They would have been delicious
Without the cat hair

I discreetly pulled two out before I slid it into my napkin.
Her husband had passed...

with no where to look without the light
beware of the danger you might get a fright.

You don't frighten me, my darling.
I would know you anywhere,
Though you're in that witches costume
And that scary mask you wear.

For a moment I am flustered,
Such a creature to behold.
Then I hear that little giggle
Just as...

the army of pumpkins herald the winter to come

night creatures do not belong in the spring light

The sad memories of you are haunting me,
of all the things you said and did,
the advice I never used but soon will,
the songs I recall as a kid.

It's the way that you would stick up...

There was a time when flocks of ghouls
Came to my welcoming door
For candy, cakes or popcorn balls;
But  goblins come no more.

My bell won’t ring this Halloween.
I’ll hear no gleeful shout
From voices yelling trick or...

Sitting death a corpse of times loss in drips

I'll wait, she said in eons voice while zealots rage

His source of pride lay as dust once adorned

Pendulums swing marking time dresses in rust

Her echo of words...

Once upon a Halloween night
Some children dressed as fairies and princesses 
While other dressed to fright
The moon was dim in and there were many howls in the night
Witches flew on brooms a crossed the moon

Purple hair as wild as the blistering winter's wind
Skin as olive as the oak wood's bark
Voice as chilling as the halloweens fright
Rare smiles that creep across her...

Days when it rained
Tapping rhythm on the rooftop 
The children stayed inside 
And would put on 
short plays 
unscripted theatrical performances Impromptu entertainment 
With a stage made of pillows 
mismatched sheets for theater curtains

Ghosts that coast, embody their trustful host
Leave no posts,  they possess the host to roast
