Halloween, it’s trick or treat
Does that make it sickly sweet?
Would you prefer a devilish trick?
Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick
Beware the goblins chasing ghosts
They’ll scare you out of your earthly host
Perhaps it’s better to just stay in
Away from all the spirited din
Remember, keep your doors shut tight
And turn on all the outside lights
Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats
And of course, those skeletons, riding bats
Beware of those who come your way
Unfriendly beings are not sweet today
Writing Prompt: Sickly Sweet – Day 18/31

Speak to me
in muted tones
Words,
like fragrant flowers
bloom
Whisper
to my soaring heart
Intimate thoughts
take over,
consume
For you,
my love,
my one,
my only
Can save me
from my darkened soul
You alone,
can calm the fears
You alone,
can make me whole

They were right on the tip of her tongue
Things she needed to say to him
Perhaps she left them, where they were young
Back in the days when life was a whim
She’s different now, not so perfect
She wonders how it might have been
If he had looked beyond the face
To find the beauty that lied within
The years have passed, and she’s grown old
He’s been gone now, quite some time
How sad the bitter memories remain
Of a girl, now past her prime
