Climb aboard, it’s very late

The bus arrives for you

Ghouls are here, to guide your way

And a ghostly quartet, too

Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside

Nothing to fear, nor frighten

Zombies make your trip quite nice

While goblins surely delight in

Watching you squirm about your seat

They say the trip is almost done

But the bus keeps going, no end in sight

Boo! This is what they call fun!

They dance about, without a care

Top hat he dons, ribbons in her hair

Elegantly dressed, they spin and they twirl

She with her man, and he with his girl

He smiles when she giggles, her face so fair

She’s shy when he does, they make quite the pair

Yet, no one can see them, nor hear a sound

Of music that plays, from that place, underground

No matter to them, they don’t care if you do

The owl can hear them, til they bid it adieu

I am but a face
Haunting, in the hours
When dawn arrives
Christening branches
With golden light
That shines through
My skin, illuminating
The details of a life
Hidden, nestled in
Darkness, breathing
Forests, barren of
Leaves that dangle
Thoughts and dreams
Penetrating souls
Until morning places
Its spirit aside, allowing
Translucent glimmers,
To fade away into
Ebony skies, with me
A specter, awaiting
To frighten the night

Through ruins, I try to make my escape

Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake

Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme

Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time

Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking

Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing

Trying to run, from what I fear most

I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

I spent the day in quiet thought, the time passed by like lightning

How could these musings be so fraught, how could they be so frightening?

I tried to clear the darkness, yet it fought its way back in

And that was when I realized, exactly where I’d been

Lost in shadows, I crept about, noticing things encumbered

No longer freeing, always fleeing, my soul, for sure, outnumbered

She traveled quietly, about the town, no one seemed to greet her

Eerily floating above the street, I didn’t want to meet her

Soon she vanished, without a trace, and I felt myself relieved

Still I pondered why she came, and what I, did now, perceive
