Our journey took us, far away, to the sea

Twilight had settled, on the captain and me

Moon lighted the way, though we saw not ahead

The billowing clouds, that meant imminent dread

The sky was laced, with pinks and blues

Our sails, like bellows, held the wind, as it blew

We traveled through waters, so calm and serene

Merely ripples of waves, such a peaceful scene

But the darkness grew closer, as we sailed, on and on

Never again to been seen, in the light of the dawn

It is that time in life

When we are no longer agile

We bend, merely to break

That time, when we fight, only

To fall apart, back into the earth

Splintered pieces of who we were

Fractured figures, once grand in stature

Lying silently, among the moss and dirt

The steeple bells ring, this Halloween night

Blackest of ravens, begin their flight

Seeking out all, who no longer breathe

Flying about, they impatiently seethe

They must bring one back, the bell man said

Or they would, surely, be the next ones dead

Squawking to each other, they spied down below

The perfect specimen, on which they’d bestow

The terror of those which swoop down on one

Taunting and teasing, all this for fun

Until tired and spent, a human’s lament

Is carried away, in the claws of torment

Purest white to fool her prey

A woven web of tangles

No matter where you try to stray

She’ll catch you, from all angles

A spider’s charm has consequences

With tricks, all quite alluring

Wraps herself round all your senses

To smother, is her securing

She’ll gather you up in a single thread

Spun from her very own hand

Until you are indeed most dead

Now you’re the dinner she has planned

There was something about you

A magical essence no one else had

The memory of us still lingers

Satin sheets, two bodies, unclad

Nights spent in rapturous glory

Until sunlight broke that morn

When you silently slipped away

And I lay shattered and forlorn

Time continues ever slowly

Since the day you said goodbye

But my love for you, forever, only

Remains, until the day I die
