full-moon-451605_960_720I am drawn to you

As the sun is drawn to the west

Silent anticipation arising

In the brilliance of your glow

In the hours before I rest

With the waters, capsizing

I am caught in your undertow

Feelings no longer repressed

The seas ever rising

You capture me in your flow

And in the silent hours, obsessed

My heart surrenders, surprising

Conquering me at your behest

Gather up the laundry
Sort it in a pile
Separate the darks and lights
Set the washer’s dial

Toss them in the dryer
Tumble them on low
Pull them out when they are done
Now where did one sock go?

I know it was there when I started
I wonder about its fate
Until I look up and to my surprise
I see who stole its mate

Yes, there he is up in a tree
All spread out on a limb
Lying on top of a pile of my socks
He keeps hidden under him

I wonder why he needs them
Do you think he cares?
I must admit, I’ve never seen
A dragon in underwear

Blackness fills the sky once bright
Witches, Goblins, Ghosts aflight
Soaring, Shrieking, Spectral Beings
Chasing after Unearthly Dreams

Streaking down across the night
Skeletons fill your Heart with Fright
Rattling, Shaking, Tremulous Twitch
Wicked bones begin to Hitch

Pumpkins Glow with Eerie Light
Fire Dances with Delight
Sauntering, Straying, in your path
Too late to Dodge their Evil Wrath

Moonlight glows across the skies
The Terror grows within Your Eyes
Ghoulish, Haunting, Sinister Sprites
Frightening You this Halloween Night

She flutters
Like the falling leaves
With wings the shades of change
Melding
With the autumn trees
Her colors rearrange

To shades
Of green and vibrant red
And orange-yellow hues
Beguiling
In her subtle glow
She makes her fall debut
