I wished not to be disturbed,
for tonight, will be my special night,
one, that I had long awaited for,
a whole 365 days and equally long nights...
And that it was finally here,
I got myself busy preparing,
today, was very very special,
I had a date with those unworldly beings...
The preparations were all done,
the decor, and, the must big pumpkin,
but, the main magic lied inside,
in my very dimly lit room...
Placing the crystals in a pattern,
around, I drew the dots, circles and triangles,
I lit the incense in their corner,
and, sprinkled the ritualistic powders, colorful...
Getting my mantra book and chanting beads,
I fixed the once dreaded ouja board in center,
set the planchet in its node,
as today, it'd finally give me the answer...
At the stroke of midnight closing my eyes,
I called upon all the surrounding spirits,
come and talk to me, to them, I pleaded,
today is your day, show me you really exist...
Hours went by, and, it was almost dawn,
hours of calling met with a stony silence,
tired and sleepy I finally gave up, thinking it farce,
fast asleep, not aware, when I had fallen...
A growl in my ears,
and, a chilly breeze had me awake,
things were thrown about,
and, corner to corner, shadows darted...
The lamp's last flicker went out,
plunging my room in deep darkness,
'happy halloween', something hissed,
my date, it seemed, had finally arrived.
Don't you just hate it when they show up late?
