Halloween treat

above skeletal and orange spooks

adorning blackened ceilings,

you and I cozy up

in big leather armchair

you, dashing in hunter's garb

me, sultry in vampire sheath

we listen to Frankenstein serenading

as mermaids echo his baritone voice

under cobwebbed chandelier, 
werewolves perform their magic tricks,   
ghouls dance as a hairy beast plays 

grand piano in pumpkin-fest ballroom


this is the eve of all hallows day, and
everything extraordinary is norm

lines blur as our worlds collide        

the unexpected and deadly, a treat

like your kisses, warm on my neck  
scorching my 200-year old body
