Withdrawn, a cocoon envelops
Closing off the din
Sadness reigns in darkness
As emptiness creeps in
Quietly lingering, afraid
Shadows seem to follow
Once the night, embracing
Now making her feel hollow
Cast aside, the longing starts
A yearning, undeserving
No happiness is there to find
The pain comes on, preserving
What little feeling she holds dear
How can life be oh so cruel?
Perhaps, she can escape this fate
With only but herself to fool

Moonlit shadows merge
Haphazard reflections draw
Secretive stories

In my life
I have seen it twice
By the grace of God
I’ll see it thrice
When skies turn black
As day becomes night
When moon passes over
On celestial flight
And sun turns dark
This mysterious thing
Which hushes the trees
When birds do not sing
Silence falls, as shadows reign
And things no longer, look the same
Then sun resumes
Its majestic light
And moon slinks on
Away from sight
Eclipse my eyes
My lunar friend
I am with you
Til the end

Twilight envelops
Nature, becomes mere shadow
As day turns to night

Darkness falls
The midnight hour
Creatures scurrying
For treats, they scour
Human flesh
A ghoul’s delight
Plenty of pickings
Tis Halloween night
Unassuming, out and about
Trick or Treat
They hear you shout
This is their cue
A delight fills their eyes
They whisk you away
No one hears your cries
So watch your kiddies
And watch all around
You never know when
You’re next to be found
No escape from the evil
There’s no place to turn
Could it be the end?
Of this, you discern…
