Desolate, lies the body of William
No one knows he’s there, but him
Erected a marker, on a whim
By light of a candle, growing dim

Full moon tilts his head and smiles
Knows about William, and his wiles
Certainly, not a man who beguiles
But, one with tribulations, and trials

A lonely grave, its marker shines
With no one there, to grieve nor pine
This unknown man, created a shrine
In his name, not yours, nor mine

Alas, poor William, no one knew
He left this Earth, for a moment or two
Now flies about, his mind askew
This count of darkness, his evil, true.

Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book opens, once again

Glows in a fiery orange flame

Speaks to me, calling, a name

Who is it, I begin to obsess?

Has it come, for me, to possess?

A spark of desire, from within

Incantations, will now, begin

I watch, the fire, burning bright

Embers seeking, in mid-flight

Touch my skin, no burn I feel

Awaken, but this, was oh so real!

Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book closes, once again

In the forest trees

The winds, whisper in silence

Their hidden secret

She sits in the forest, outside her home
Listening, to the whispers of the trees
Spider webs form a woven dome
As the mouse, finally, finds his cheese

She contemplates what needs be done
Before the day arrives, she’s awaiting
Knows it shall be filled with fun
And her spells, she’ll be anticipating

No one knows quite what to expect
Every year, she conjures anew
Keep the kiddies inside, you must protect
Else, they’ll wind up in a potion or two

Lash of eye, and strand of hair
She’ll take from a youthful mortal
Mixed together, drink up, she’ll dare
As she lets out a rather odd chortle

Pumpkin laughs, and shines its light
He’s such an eerie sight to behold
Better stay alert, on Halloween night
Lest your soul, to the witch, be sold

Child of darkness, an endless plight
Carry your sadness, into the night

Moon shines down, a trodden path
Nothing is left, in the aftermath

Lift up your head, here, do abide
Safety awaits you, by my side

Through the forest, trees will guide
Wiping away, the tears you’ve cried

Limbs extend, to grasp, to hold
Gentle hugs, around you, fold

Heed their warmth, brave the cold
September, leaves your spirit old

October comes, the midnight hour
This, is when my light, will tower

Over your journey, feel the power
So full, there is no need to cower

Rise up, and let me bring you home
Together, through the dark, we roam

Fear nothing, while I am in your sight
Follow me, closely, no need for flight

Sleep, while morning shines her sun
Then seek me out, when day is done
