Samhain (Sow-in)

It was the night,
whence two worlds collide.

Samhain.
When spirits cross into our realm,
Causing mischief,
Spreading lies.

Why else would this be the night
Children dress like them?
To blend in, of course,
And the question asked at every door?

A trick, or a treat?
all spirits must answer honestly,
and so, if malice is intended,
you will have warning.

    the cold biting at you
    i love it

    Orpheus, lonesome poet, 
    lost his love because he wanted to tell her they'd made it.

    and sew it into pillows,
