Halloween Kiss

Shadows cling to the forest
Draining the world of every hue
Light from the wavering crescent moon
Amongst the treetops filters through

She walks along the darkened path
As cobwebs blind her eyes
Desperate to escape this trap
Afraid of her own demise

As wolves howl in the background
Branches and roots menacingly loom
A taste of fear permeates the air
Shrouded in an aura of gloom

Crunching footsteps make her suddenly turn
As a figure creeps into sight
A man cloaked in beauty and red
Walking gracefully in the night

Come with me he whispers softly
Extends a comforting hand
Trembling with terror she turns and she runs
Into the arms of this Saviour, this man

The fog it writhes around the figure
As he tilts his head back with bliss
Sharpened fangs gleam in the night
As he delivers a Halloween kiss
