Trick"O"Treat

Halloween is Here!..it's that time of the year again!!

Spooky, kooky, creepy, and fun! The time of Ghosts, Goblins, Gravestones and Graveyards. Of Spooks and Spirits and silly-fun tricks. Of Witches and Warlocks and Scary Black Cats. And Candy Corn, Jelly Apples, Pumpkins and Bats

Our little monsters have carved their pumpkins which now adorn our front porch in a multitude of scatter. Costumes have been chosen for tomorrow night. My li'l man will be celebrating his first "real" Halloween and he's dressing up as a pumpkin no less. The other big kids are an assortment of the grim ripper, batman, the friendly witch and the nerd kid.

Despite it being cold out, we are going trick"o"treating tomorrow night. Unfortunately, this is also the time when the dentists make their money.

Believe me, the amount of candy that these children will collect from trick"o"treating can and will last for a good two months. I know, I threw out at least 100 different types of candy that still remained from Halloween last year.

That's all I need, a bunch of hype children getting their candy on.....

Despair

My silent screams go unanswered,
my soul lays motionless
in the emptiness of my being.

An array of light
glimmers in the simmering darkness
but I am unmoved by it's beauty and radiance.

Awaken my spirits!
I need the taste of life
to feel the pain it promises.

The never ending
corruption to the mind
and the pointless motivations.

For what?
We are creatures of desire
born to the betrayals of a false awakening.

Let worldly appetites
be lost
as we prepare for a delusionary tomorrow...
