Creepy avenues,
Lined by creaking trees,
Swooping down-
Make you jump outta your skin
A rustle here,
A crackle there,
You know you’re not wanted!
Yet you go ahead…
A single yellow lamp lights thy way,
Thou can hear nothing,
but thy footsteps
Your heart beats faster,
You can feel it thumping
Your delicate skin
Yet you go ahead…
You see shadows lurking up your heels,
You wonder who that could be,
You muster up courage…
A sudden gust of wind,
Spooky black images do a jig against a wall-
the shadows perform a masquerade!
Your heart in your mouth,
Yet you go ahead…
Cz you’re “Out On A Midnight Stroll”!
