Into the woods and down the pathwhere darkness falls from shadows cast.Into the woods with tangled trees and roots reach up to scrape your knees. Into the woods, a moonlit night.Beware the ones that fill you with fright.Into the woods where monsters raveand ravens watch with hungered gaze. Into the woods. Run faster now,Or endContinue reading “Into the Woods”

Fly the Seas
To be the king of the seaSee in the dark depths belowFly the currents under the ocean Pass the shark, the piranha, the octopusAvoid the danger as you glideTo be the king of the sea The water’s bright, open, and freeThe air above tricky and distrustingFly the currents under the ocean Safe and sound inContinue reading “Fly the Seas”
Tion
Did you hear that sudden motion?A loud screech and scratch at the door?It’s the monster that hungers for flesh.Who’s face is hideous and fangs are huge.All who faced him met extinction. Did you see the lightning flash black?The dark auras that rim his hands?His eyes are deathly red.His horns short and low.The blood wall keepsContinue reading “Tion”
Did You Miss It?
Did you see the daisies turn their heads to the sunlight this morning?Watch the blue birds sore across the morning sky?Did you kiss a child good morning?Or war against the world with your bad mood? Is your early fight for the coffee? Are you a zombie, groaning and slugging on, without it?Do you rush offContinue reading “Did You Miss It?”
To Fly Free
Watch the bird soar through the airSo graceful, calm, and freeIt need not worry of predators belowIt’s high in the sky, in flight and free So graceful, calm, and freeCould a ground’s prisoner ever achieve?That high in the sky, in flight, and free?To feel the wind rushing past you? Could a ground’s prisoner ever achieve,RealContinue reading “To Fly Free”
Robbed
She can’t see her beauty.Robbed from her eyes like a thief in the night.She looks in the mirror and sees only her flaws.What confidence she had is gone.Her smile graces her lips no more.What beauty is there in a broken heart? In the soul, feeling unwanted. No one would turn their eye to her invisibleContinue reading “Robbed”
Swamped
Swamped. A marsh thick with swirling fog overhead, weighing down rest and trailing weary.Wet. The water, the muck, and the bog that tears and pulls at your feet.Tall rooted trees extend above, green and luscious casting shadows upon you. Where is the light that needs to shine through? Duty. A job to be done, musclesContinue reading “Swamped”
Writer’s Dominion
To command a pen, to glide on a page.What freedom there is that you can control.The will of the wind where it would,The current of a stream, refreshing, refined.A power to command kingdoms,Your will is the law. A written page forever spoken,Lies rebel fire or flooding rain.The ash of death or washing away of theContinue reading “Writer’s Dominion”
The Best
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.Training, running, fighting, trying, I’ll beat my way to the top.No one can stop me, no one can harm me.I’ll be the best there ever was,I’ll take first place, you’ll see, it’ll be easy. Battle me all you want,I’ll win every time.Sweet, sweet, sweet victory,Continue reading “The Best”
Trust
You can’t trust what you can’t see,Life hides the path and hidden the key.An open field so warm and soft,Then sparked by fire, a deadly cough.Open the heart, let someone in.Dance and laugh, alive again.Until an action’s a dagger deep in the back.Bleeding on the ground, it all goes black.Hardened and shielded and locked inContinue reading “Trust”
