All Hallow's Eve

My heart is with the old and is new.

As I dressed as a Filthy Victorian

Bringing my soul to this very sound

Universe.

On this All Hallow’s Eve, I celebrate

With my family, for my friends are family

Of the heart, this new year and

Honor those who have gone

onto Summerland

And wait for us there.

The veil is thin and the lightning strikes,

And the candles glow on this creepy

Samhain night.

The porch lights were on before

The storm came through

The small town.

And trick or treaters came

For their treats and Halloween wishes.

The power went off and on

While the music kept eerily playing on.

Could this be pranksters, the storms,

Or from beyond the grave?

I’m thinking all three.

This night was filled with

Costumes galore, as

The party of friends

Filled the rooms of

The Filthy Victorian and

Her beloved kitty familiars home.

The party lasted well into the night

The food was good and got eaten

And pictures were taken of all

The costumes.

Now the night is over and

It’s time for slumber.

For dreams of witches

On brooms and spirits

Coming to visit to say their

Thoughts of love and more

All on this Halloween night!
