Magic In the Air!



I wave my wand and magic is in the air
drowning eerie wails and sorrowful cries,
my magic sways
a bagful of starry wishes, dreams and desires
over anyone who pauses to drop by.
No longer a right of the Harry Potters
and the witches and wizards of yonder yo, 
my magic wand sprouts up 
uncalled, uninvited, unnoticed
spreading goodness, peace and joy
around those who long
 for a day of respite,
craving for a little wish,
longing for that lost love.

My magic wand is here for all.
Come on, let's have a ball!

Whose Halloween Is It Anyway?


Many a night
when I try hard to sleep,

Howling dogs
prey on my hidden insecurities....
Hooting owls
send me eerie messages
of forthcoming misfortune....
Blind bats
rush past me
to feed on the blood of god forsaken creatures...

During the day
when I feel free as a lark
scary scarecrows in green fields
stare at me smugly....
Black cats
send shivers down my spine
as they circle around me and mew mockingly....

Day and Night -
I am caught in the tentacles of time.
Each trying to wickedly overtake the other,
playing a dangerous game
of fun and fear
drowning all my arrogant assumptions
of my supposedly dominating presence.

Making me wonder..
Whose Halloween is it anyway?
Mine or Theirs?
