-Stirring You in the Brew- An Eternal Preparation

by Bryan Miles

A pot on the stove boils away
Pieces of childhood
Memories at play
Stench fills the air
As the steam rises high
A sprinkle of heart
A dash of an eye
Bubble and boil
Boil and bubble
Halloween night
Stirring up trouble
Tossing in a few spiders
And a clump of blonde hair
Arm of a child
Leg of a chair
The blood of an owl
Skin of a snake
Quite a magic brew
Make no mistake

In comes the dark
The black pitch of night
Skeletons rattle
Faces of fright
Bats hover over
Dive for the head
The graveyards are jumping
Dance of the dead
Bow to your partner
Twirl her around
Right before dawn
It's back in the ground
Worms of the soil
Maggots of flesh
Walking the plank
Right on the thresh
The threshes of Hell
Fire and flames
Engraved on their gravestones
Shattered, chipped names
Vampires feast
Demons delight
What monster is under your bed tonight?

If your leg's hanging over
Better pull it back up
Or you might just become
The monster's sippy cup
He'll suck through your veins
Like a straw sipping beast
Draining your blood
A Halloween feast
Costumed creatures
Walking the street
Drop in some candy
A trick or a treat
There's a hand in the bowl
Better sound the alarm
You're grabbing a Snickers
It's grabbing your arm

You awake in a sweat
Perspiring of head
Feeling all over
The sheets of your bed
No spiders, no leeches
No blood thirsty goons
No hiding in the shadows
Of dark harvest moons
You take a deep breath
And turn on the light
Every night without Jesus
Is Halloween night
The demons dance nightly
Every screech and each yell
Misleading each soul
To the gallows of Hell
You kneel down in prayer
At the side of your bed
A swift kick of faith
Kicks the monster in the head
As a child of God
Here's the part I love most
Every demon's scared to death
Of the Father's Holy Ghost....
