As darkness engulfs
The heartbeats begin to race
And cold sweat pours down

As the cold wind blows
Tripping over undergrowth
Scratched by twigs and stones

As the moon is howled
Heavy rain turns dirt to mud
Being seen open

As the pale lake nears
Ghastly whispers caress ears
Dizzying in leer

As legs grow weary
No happy end dawn to dusk
Hope turns shrivelled husk

Have a Haunted Halloween!
