Halloween's a sudden BOO!!

And just as quick a scream:

Laughing in the scary dark,

Loving friendly fright.

On Halloween, witches come true;

Wild ghosts escape from dreams.

Each monster dances in the park,

Eating candy like a shark--

Now kiss and say goodnight

Have a look in the mirror of your dreams:

All the horrors that you see are real.

Lest you think the world is as it seems,

Let your skin crawl, your frozen blood congeal.

Of fear and fantasy now take your fill.

Wells of sorrow lie beneath your feet.

Each sun-drenched field you mercilessly till

Endures to see your ultimate defeat.

Now let yourself let go your last conceit.

How can normal, rational people

All lust after ghosts one night,

Like the moon on some church steeple,

Luring demons to its light?

Old fears lie buried in our pleasure,

Words within a midnight grave,

Each a truth that we must treasure,

Eerie horrors our hearts crave.r should we all our passions pave.
