A Halloween Night ...

A Halloween Night of Love and Frights

Candles in carved Jack-o’-lanterns

paved the way to Leona’s porch.

A skeleton in the window

left me in a fragile state.

Blood rushed through my veins,

not because of the scary movie,

but because nothing is more awkward

than sitting here

with Leona, both of us wearing nothing at all,

watching “Friday the 13th.”

Forget the fireplace; her eyes are flames.

Leona moved her soft fingers

along my skin, crawling inside

a dose of dopamine,

expanding my pores,

dampening my palms.

A trick and a treat

hovered above my life.

Leona straddled me,

brought her mouth to my neck,

breathing, kissing, and dragging

her lips across my cheek.

My body shivered with tremors.

I’m falling for her again.

A trick, and a treat.
