The Horrible Truth Lies Deep Inside

BwaaaaaHaHa!!!!

An October Night...by Charles Audette

The wind whispers

A wary warning

There was plenty, still

Early this morning

These primal urges

Are hard to fight

An unholy diet

A dark appetite

The pavement scrapes

With scuttling leaves

I'll pull the drapes

And hope to deceive

The moon suffocates

In ominous clouds

Shut off the lights

Heartbeats too loud

Then the neighbor's gate creaks

But it's not the wind

That seeks to feast

On fearing humans

Red brake lights

A car crawls by slow

The shadowy shapes

On my dark doorstep know

That the empty window

Of my house lies.

The horrible truth

Hides deep inside

Everything tonight

Could have been just dandy

But now the demons have wrath -

Cause I ate all the candy!
