All Hallows' Eve* (HSSF)

Rich crimson leaves cascade from trees
Embers of fire in the breeze
Luna sails the black sea unseen
Autumnal spell of Halloween

We carve a brood of sculpted gourds
Bake apple pie for all adored
While trick-or-treaters come and leave
Phantasmal dream of Hallows' Eve

Candles burn bright in our window
Ancestors led home by the glow
Our bonfires flames swell with sheen
As shadows dance on Halloween

Let the feast for the dead begin
This spirit night, the veil is thin
Humans and ghosts interweave
The magic realm of Hallows' Eve

The clock strikes the Witching Hour
Loved ones graves we bloom in flowers
This spooky Eve of in betweens
The time of rebirth, Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ATS!
Hope it's extra spooky for you all

my better half agreed to go on a horror movie marathon tonight after a few drinks with friends (guess she needs to booze to power through) consider that parts of pan's labyrinth scared her, so i'm thinking alien, a nightmare on elm street, martyrs, and the howling
Spooky day to you all!
