Spirits

Are bright
On Halloween Night
Yet it soon becomes clear
That what we fear
Is merely
Weird

Vincent
Goes above
Cloaked and gloved
So Halloween gains glamour
Amidst the clamour
And perhaps ..
Amour

Catherine
His only love
Beauty and courage
She brought him into the light
Only until the sun rises
But dreams are
Vincent's

Hands
Your hands
Beautiful to me
Touching me with love
Gently whispering
Upon my skin
Forever


Alone
Beyond love
Consumed by fear
Of the darkness within
Nothing is real
Without you
Catherine


Rosebush
Surely dead
Brought to life
With tender loving care
Roses bloom again
Love conquers
Death
