Happy Halloween 2010! ... And "Beautiful/Deadly" Poem.

Well it's that time of year again. October 31st. Also better know as Halloween (or All Saints' Eve).

The time of year when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be at its thinnest, thus "allowing the spirits to pass through".

The time of year when human "ghouls" big or small go "trick-or-treating" for candy, other goodies and what not.

This year, Halloween falls on a Sunday, and won't ya know it. In this year, October has or "had" (as today is the last day of the month) 5 Sundays.

Yes five Sundays were in the month of October, and that only happens once every 823 years.

Talk about a "Zen October 2010".

So as we prepare to revel in costumed delight, and light candles in Jack 'o Lanterns and at grave sites. Here's to a Happily Haunting and  a Frighteningly Fang-tastic Halloween! 

And here's sharing a bit of my poetry to bite :[ ... LoL! I mean, to boot! ;)

Beautiful/Deadly

The scorpion stings,
Its nature true.
As is the cobra,
Bared fangs, no lying to you.

But Rose,
In all his beauty
Hides his weapons
Deadly!

Misconceptions and deceptions
All part of *The Crying Game
As this Rose hides his true intentions
Thorny secrets tear and maim.

Hearts and hands left bleeding by his lies
While deadly beauty shines in the sun.
And behind the closed doors of night?

Well, roses die with their weapons. 

* Reference to the 1992 film by Neil Jordan: The Crying Game.
