Part 4: 31 Halloween Poems
Updated: Feb 20, 2021
The second to last set of 6:
1) Arrows
They shoot by
With faces of steel
These spirits
Really know
How to appeal
To others they show dedication
To stay on the line
To me it shows
I’ve got too much to hide
To ever be
A spirit guide
2) 20
Hindsight is 20/20
So is my view
On you
I can read you like a book
Your darkest secrets have nowhere to go
I see them all
Now leave me alone
I see too clear
You’re someone I don’t want anyone to be near
3) Disappearance
I look for her
In the sky at night
Every time I see her
I get scared
But it’s better than her
Never being here
4) Love Lost
We met on Halloween
Your outfit and mine
I am a cat
You are a mouse
I chase you around
Always attacking
You keep coming out to just eat
I turn that into defeat
Your determination
Shines
But my evil
Cannot be re defined
5) Feat
This feat we’ve attempted
To try to get the dead resurrected
We use as a game
But its real souls we mess with
Trying to mask it
With costumes
Jokes
Decorations
And lights
We avoid
The real terror
And preoccupied
With our desire
To rise old souls
From the fire
6) Waiting
I wait at the station
Waiting for my wife
To get home for the night
It’s been a year
Since I’ve seen her alive
But the ghost train will come here soon
This one night
That I get to swoon
Over the love in her past life
Seeing her once
Isn’t enough
But I’ll arrive to her
When it is my time
And together
We’ll ride the ghost train into the night
