Feeling a bit under the weather so this is one from 2014. Hope you enjoy. 😊
Blackness fills the sky once bright
Witches, Goblins, Ghosts aflight
Soaring, Shrieking, Spectral Beings
Chasing after Unearthly Dreams

Walls that slant in faded light
Specter’s roam about the night
Shadows stand in open doors
Footsteps creak across the floors
Thinking this is just a dream
Things just aren’t what they seem
Figures lurk about your home
Now you see you’re not alone
Taunting you until you scream
Trick or treat, it’s Halloween!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! BE SAFE!

Each night, as she approached the stairs
He would appear, but was not really there
Unsure, if it was simply her imagination
Wondering, if it was merely her own creation
Never could she find him, he was hidden well
Still, he held her, completely, under his spell
Spindles on the staircase, illuminated glow
Shadows in the hallway, dancing to and fro
Footsteps creaking, across the floor of tiles
They seemed to keep walking on, for miles
No matter where she turned, she was alone
The only sound around, a low, guttural groan
Twas the shimmer of a light, quite an eerie thing
Laughter at the doorway, made the doorbell ring
Why is it, he would toy with her, and scare her so?
Why was she chosen, perhaps, she’ll never know
