I long to read you
I yearn for romantic writes
so we have yenning
In lull·a·bies on a twinkling night
Dreaming cloud nine far away delight
Pleasing in peaceful sounds afar
Whilst' yenning on a diminishing star
The snow freshens the air
Inciting me to sleep aware
Breath'ng in breath'ng out
Chest rising up 'n about
Eyes droop in cold winter sleep
The moon 'n air in my keep
Silent in silence, I slumber
My chest falls in time with ev'ry breath number
Silently disturbing the still air
Bed swallows my body bare
Thoughts come and go, I know
In the dream of the night a·glow
Ghouls, ghosts and goblins
Wicked Wiccans wielding
Spirits soaring sacredly
Trick or treating?
Pumpkin patches present
Barren by butcher’s beast
Costumed careless children
Foul frightening feast
Darkened distressed demons
Patiently persecuting prey
Evil engulfs the entities
Devouring delicious day
Halloween howls heard
From foreign fetched fans
Yearning, yielding, yenning
For a fearful frightening band
