WHEN IT'S HALLOWEEN......by KPRIMM

When the wind blows cold
with a rustle of leaves
and a chill runs over your skin

When the black cat prowls
near a gaggle of spooks
and the witching hour begins

When the coffins creak wide
and open thier lids
freeing those sleeping inside

When the children all gather
this magical night
with thier eyes and thier mouths gaping wide

When the lit jack o lantern
aglow on the porch
stares out with it's wide toothy grin

When the candy flows freely
from neighbors unknown
but on this night they all become friends

when werewolves abound
and skeletons lurk
and watch as you pass down the street

When your never quite sure
of just who that is
or what it is under that sheet

When creatures galore
jump out to scare
and nothing is quite what it seems

When this magical night
happens just once each year
the magic that's called Halloween

I really like this one because it's personal with me. Just like caretaker said. I think you have one here a lot of people can relate to. My brother had to drag me along one year. The only reason they didn't mind is because they could hide the soap they used for soaping windows in my cowgirl hat. I was always a cowgirl. I never wanted to be anything else. If any grown up would stop us, who would think of checking out the little girl for the goods. All went well until we stopped at the convent. We had to stop there because our teachers wanted to see their students in costume. Once inside the convent door the sisters told me to take off my hat. I started crying, and my brother told the sisters I was sick. He took me home, and never took me out again. No haunted house for us. Just a convent full of nuns, which turned out to be too scary for me.

I'm Coming........BY:KPRIMM

Faintly in the distance
I can hear it on the wind
I feel it in the tingle
Of the cold breeze on my skin

I see it in the dark Green leaves
The changing in the hue
As Green begins to slowly fade
replaced by something new

I feel it in the very air
It causes me to shake
As Lawnmowers are put away
Replace it with the Rake

bathing Suits are packed away
We Winterize our Boats
Replaced with Wagons full of Hay
And Hooded Flannel coats

I feel it in my racing heart
The non stop frantic drumming
And on the wind I faintly hear
Just Two small words...I'm coming!

Racing ever quicker
As a Witch hangs on a door
Tombstones in a front yard
Means it's closer than before

Where flats of Flowers used to sit
Outside the Grocery store
Now holds stalks of standing Corn
And Pumpkins by the door

The Sun no longer shining Hot
The night time cold now numbing
And in my dreams I faintly hear
Just Two small words...I'm coming!

The picture on my calendar
Now shows an Autumn scene
With only Four weeks left to go
Until it's Halloween

In the distance I can hear it
It's a spooky sing song humming
It's just Two words and that is all
Just Two small words....I'm coming!

They Come......BY:KPRIMM


We've travelled cross' the Cosmos
From the planet of our Birth
To a planet ripe for conquest
And they call this planet Earth

Unaware and overweight
Preoccupied and fat
Their conquest will be easy
Cause' we've made an APP for that

They focus all their everything
Right there into their hand
If we control the Cell Phone
Then we control the Man

We land our ships amongst them
Undetected and unseen
They never saw us coming
Always staring at the screen

A pack of mindless Zombies now
Too fat to run away
There's nothing left for them to love
We took their phones away

Disguised as Social Media
And simple childish games
We dumbed them down and made them fat
And that is when we came

Of all the planets we have raped
From our very birth
The easiest for us to take
Was dumbed down planet Earth

The Face Of Halloween.....BY:KPRIMM

Surround myself with Zombies
Ghosts are everywhere I turn
Witches stand in corners
As the Jack O' Lanterns burn

Skeletons are hanging here
From dusty rafter beams
My head is filled with nightmares
But to me they're happy dreams

I build the Monsters that I need
They've got to look just right
I bring them all together
For that single special night

And all my hard work comes to pass
As I create the scene
When I bring it to the people
I'm the face of Halloween

In every piece a part of me
A nightmare or a dream
I build to thrill, I spook to spook
I live to make them scream

I'm the mad creator
I'm the Monster on the screen
I'm the scary story
I'm the face of Halloween

I do everything for me
And yet, I do it all for you
Spread the word and haunt the night
To Halloween be true

Board my wagon filled with Hay
And let me hear you scream
You and me we share a face
The face of Halloween!

Ghosts We're All.....BY:KPRIMM

Everyone of us are ghosts
And it's not if, but when
The question is will be seen
When we come back again?

Flesh and blood we walk the Earth
Our souls are tucked inside
We leave our bodies to the Earth
When we cross the other side

We're all ghosts, and that's a fact
Make no mistake my friend
The reaper comes to claim us all
The only question's when?

Will we move on to Heaven?
And join the Heavenly host
Or will we walk the Earth again?
But this time as a ghost

Wrapped up in our sack of skin
All bundled nice and neat
But underneath we're ghosts
Just like the kid beneath the sheet

Time ticks ever, ever on
We all know this too well
Each tick of the second hand
Draws us from our shell

You say you don't believe in ghosts?
You'd better change your mind
For one day you will be one too
When you run out of time

Everyone of us are ghosts
And it's not if , but when
The question is, will we be seen ?
When we come back again

I've Found Peace After Piece.....BY:KPRIMM

I've finally found my inner peace
As I buy piece right after piece
I've also found impending doom
With no space in my storage room

Chests and boxes, crates and bags
Tied to rafters, now they sag
Every year I pick up more
My storage rooms now bulging door

With decorations, lights, and masks
A storage shed sits in the back
I fill the shed piece after piece
And smile in my inner peace

A tarp to wrap my Pumpkin King
Bags hang like Spiders tied with string
A well stacked wall of Plastic totes
Holds Zombies, Ghouls, and fabric Ghosts

I see it, and it must be mine
Commit another storage crime
Obsessed with all things Halloween
Surrounded by my Autumn dreams

And so I buy piece after piece
Sink deeper in my inner peace
If this keeps up, I have no doubt
I'll have to buy another house!

Out Of reach......BY:KPRIMM


Please don't cry my darling
As you kneel before my stone
I'm right here on the other side
You'll never be alone

I'm staring right into your eyes
As tears roll down your face
I want to go back home with you
But I can't leave this place

It hurts so much to see you here
Your grief so plainly shown
I long to bring you comfort
But I'm trapped behind this stone

I only want to follow you
Each time you walk away
But trapped behind this slab of stone
Is where I'm bound to stay

If I could touch you one more time
To hold you like the past
But this Damned infernal tombstone
Keeps you just beyond my grasp

Each time you're here I dance with you
With you, and you alone
As each tear falls and comes to rest
Upon my slab of stone

Please my love don't cry for me
You'll never be alone
I'm always watching over you
From just behind the stone

Behind The Metal Door.......BY:KPRIMM


Excitement courses through my limbs
As my Heart skips a beat
Today is our Homecoming
I've got lots of friends to greet

They're just beyond the Metal door
They wait for me inside
From Winters cold and Summers heat
They've found a place to hide

But now they'll hide no longer
For today's October First
As the Metal door rolls open
I feel just about to burst

There in all their glory
Are my Creatures of the night
And the Cold wind blowing on my face
Means everything's all right

My Werewolf's where I left him
By my Scarecrow standing tall
A tear runs down my smiling face
My friends I've missed you all

I give my stirring Witch a hug
And high Five good Ol' Jack
And choking back my happiness
I tell my friends "I'm Back!"

I escort each and every one
And greet them with a smile
We're going to tear it up this year
My friends, it's been a while

I straighten all their costumes
making sure each looks their best
That's all I really need to do
My friends will do the rest

As the hours flash on by
I hang with all my friends
Each One in their special spots
The Yard's set up again

Today, again I've been reborn
Just like I was last year
When I open up that Metal door
And all my friends are here

All too soon the time will come
With Autumn's end in sight
But for now we stand together
And we're here to Haunt the night

Enjoying every moment
And forever wanting more
Before my friends go hide away
Behind the Metal door

Here They Come!.............BY:KPRIMM

Apples floating plump and Red
A lit White Candle by our Beds
Play games of chance, of skill and more
But still make sure to lock your door

In scary Costumes, everyone
To ease our minds and poke some fun
We lay uneasy in our Beds
Tis' Halloween, here come the dead

Always at this time of year
We celebrate the things we fear
Tonight they'll come, without fail
With the lifting of the Veil

We roam the streets collecting treats
Attempt to keep our sanity
Our only hope, you realize
The dead stay hidden from our eyes

And so in fun we decorate
Throw parties which we all partake
Traditions followed through the years
Designed to help us face our fears

So Bob for Apples, have your fun
And wear your costumes everyone
The dead return to walk the ground
Tis' Halloween.....they're coming now!

I Haunt To Live......BY:KPRIMM

I live to Haunt, I Haunt to live
The more I Haunt, the more I give
The more I give, The more I smile
And that's what makes it all worthwhile

A vision in my twisted head
Of Monsters or the Walking Dead
I work all year and hope to spread
Not fame....but Halloween instead

A single stranger in the night
Bathed in Jack O' Lantern light
Just One thumbs up, a single smile
That's what makes it all worthwhile

Now many could care less, it's true
But I'm here for the One's that do
The One's that love it just like me
And share the thrill of Halloween

My life's work has a single goal
To light a spark in every Soul
To share a little fun and fright
Forget your cares for just One night

A child's smile sets me free
To live the life I've chose for me
With so much left I want to give
I live to Haunt, and Haunt to live

Seasonally Insane....BY:KPRIMM

When the sign that says "We're Open"
Simply causes you to beam
On the front door of the Spirit store
Chock full of Halloween

When the brand new issue in your hands
makes your heart skip a beat
As you hold Fear Finder Magazine
And gently start to weep

When your legs begin to quiver
At the changing of the leaves
When you throw your head back, close your eyes
And Kiss the Autumn breeze

When you tingle with excitement
As you open up your shed
To remove the decorations
For the party just ahead

When you drool and play the fool
Back,forth, and in between
Then you know beyond a single doubt
It's almost Halloween

When you just can't wait for Pizza
And a night to watch TV
For the Horror Movie Marathon
That still gives you the creeps

When you break into a cold sweat
That there's no way you can hide
As you board the Hay filled wagon
And anticipate the ride

When the year's first jug of Cider
Brings a small tear to your eye
And the first bite of the Caramel Apple
Flat out makes you cry

When you dream about the costumed Children
Coming down your street
And the music filling up your head
Is simply Trick Or Treat

When you drool and play the fool
Back,forth, and in between
Then you know your friend is back again
His name is Halloween!

Next 2 You......BY:KPRIMM

I'm sitting here and facing Left
And you are facing Right
Both of us alive with Flame
We chase away the night

I see where they're coming from
You look past where they've been
Together sitting on the porch
It's Halloween again

Always Two, it's me and you
Not here last year, we're both brand new
yet, just last year, this very night
One looking Left, One looking Right

With faces changing every year
But not our field of view
I face the Right, you face the Left
I sit here next to you

Not sure if you can see me
But I'm grinning with Two teeth
Against the cold Autumnal wind
We share each others heat

For just tonight we roar with fire
Then we'll fade away
Next year there will be Two more
I wonder what they'll say?

But now it's back to business
For the dead will walk tonight
Sitting next to you
You watch the Left, I'll watch the Right

Guide the children safely
We must see them through the night
Next to you is where I'll sit
Together glowing bright

My friend it was an honor
Sitting side by side tonight
We faced the night of Halloween
Until they snuffed our light
