Dear universe
I've minimum to report
...
Our world is still spinning
into entropy
and out of control.
We know not yet
what we really
need to know.
Ice and fire
hot lava and snow,
around and around
the sun we go.
Gravity held
  inertia repelled,
all our matter
heading for hell!

Dear universe the Earth is fine.
It's the human species on the line.
Traveler Tim
in the dead of night, shadows whisper and crawl, voices slither from the deep, and a chill wraps tight, stealing breath as silent screams signal the unseen.

beneath the moon's ghastly gleam, figures twist and turn, their hollow eyes, empty and wide, draw you closer to the edge. the wind wails a mournful song, carrying the weight of something unseen, lost souls ensnared in endless night, trapped by shadows, void of light.

footsteps echo, unheard yet there, in a house where silence lives. doors groan open, whispers hiss, through empty halls, a phantom kiss. a mirror cracked with tales untold reflects a gaze so cold, spirits bound to shadow's grasp, forever trapped in night's dark clasp.

in the attic, shadows crawl, a rocking chair sways to the call, though no one sits, it rocks alone, a chilling wraith, all skin and bone. midnight tolls the witching hour, darkness gathers all its power, from the abyss, shadows rise, claiming their prey with lifeless eyes.

heed this warning, if you dare, beware the night and what stares there, for in the dark, the spirits prowl, seeking souls, their mournful howl.

Ghosts & Goblins
dance in the dark
Skeletons are crawling
in yards everywhere
Cauldrons begin to
boil as brooms
ready for flight
Witches gather
in delight for
soon it's
HALLOWEEN
Night
It's time to prepare
to ***** and scare
Time to plug in the
lights & decorate creepy pumpkins  
Don't forget the spiders
they like crawl and bite.
Let's all have fear & fun this
Halloween night !!

It was a
DARK and STORMY
night of
ALL HALLOWS EVE,
Where the spooks
roam the night,
and have you quivering
in your knees,
Such Cold chill in the air,
Is a creatures
delight,
To run up on you and
****** you,
is your biggest fright.
They do it with force
and they do it with ease,
To seek what they want
and to chase who
they please.
As you Shriek in fear,
The creature is near,
You try to run and hide,
TOO LATE,
COS, IT'S HERE!!!!
Your Teeth start to
chattering,
and your knees are shaking
hearing WHISPERS in
the DARK and you are
suddenly awakened
You look around,
for the frighted sounds,
But there's no one around,
SO YOU START TO WIND DOWN.
THIS HALLOWS NIGHT HAS
GONE TO YOUR HEAD, BUT
YOU'RE SAFE IN YOUR HOUSE,
SO YOU GO RIGHT TO BED.
The COLD and the STILLNESS
of a STORMY NIGHT
Brings chills
down your spine
and gives you such a FRIGHT,
of a fate of your PLIGHT.
The WHISPERS in the DARK
of MYSTERIES ARE UNSEEN,
The hunt is on

So:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I have nightmares about this
I can’t keep myself awake
Mistakes I make
It’s just a business
No forgiveness
Humble yourself at my request
So my nightmare comes, more at best
I apologize for my ignorance
But this is an original experience
I want one dream, love and affection
But it won’t stop, it needs to happen
Is this hell? Or purgatory
Maybe next time, what’s your story?
An iridescent glow
A whisper from the dead
Longing to be heard
Distant screams
Cold breath grazing my neck
The agonizing shrieks grow louder
Howling winds
Rustling leaves
Something is behind me
Something is following me
Lurking in the night
The noise is deafening
It's overwhelming
Overstimulating
"I can't do this"
And then suddenly
It is calm
Quiet
Peaceful
And all that I am left with
Is crippling paranoia
He's nervous, could tell from a glance
This right here is his first dance
And she is nervous, he looks bold
And wants to express what's untold

And they are nervous but the music
Is easing the vibe down a bit
And she doesn't really know
What steps to do or where to go

So she's letting the waves bring
Momentum to this heating link
And he's the same, he has no clue
That the unknown brings in the new

So step by step and song by song
Their souls and bodies float along
Through an ocean of emotions
The breeze is faith, the sail is long
Enough to carry both
To dry land and to make cloth
To protect them from the rain
And unnecessary pain

Some is needed though to gain
Understanding and to frame
Thoughts and feelings the right way
It is not enough to pray
That magically they'll go away.

So sail even some more along
In faith and hum a sailor's song
And live and laugh and smell the scent
Of acceptance in the present
Because really, there's no end
Or beginning in the face
Of this scary pretty grace
We're living.

An honest portrait of "dancing", letting love and the unknowns it brings in, with a dash of life advice as well?

I guess something of the sort, yeah, that's an ok description. It's all love anyways.

There's always a whisper of madness,
playing in my brain as I struggle to get
loose from it's refrain and the constant
pounding me to comply makes me feel
quite insane.

Disaster brewing behind blue eyes
bits of chaos that won't be denied.
They tell me the choice is completely
mine but they don't see or feel how
I'm bound up inside.

Touch the people and watch them fall
knowing the horror to come,  the pull
to cause pain,  is the worse of all. I'm
the bad man says the song,  but they
don't really know bad, no, not all.
