No color to blend with the bright autumn leaves

Endlessly drifting, they move with the breeze

Carefree and easy, they float like the clouds

Playfully dancing about, through the boughs

Of life’s changing seasons, before colors do fade

This time of year, when they blend with the shade

Then slip away, like a specter, against skies of blue

Humming their melody, one we all must construe

Spirits of autumn, through the trees, they thrum

Then vanish from view, until next year comes

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday.  I am taking the day to relax and enjoy.  I’ll be sure to save you some cake  🙂

She found herself

In this unearthly place

Felt his presence

Chill her face

Watched the mist

Against the ground

Rise, then fall

Without a sound

Could this be illusion?

A trick, not a treat

He’s slowly surrounding

Himself, at her feet

Feeling the tug

She realizes fast

As he pulls her under

With a sinister grasp

There’s magic in the forests, here

When fairies let their lights appear

Floating about, like an endless dream

They mesmerize, with a blazing gleam

When fire surrounds you, in a dance

You wonder if it’s happenstance

They choose to show themselves to you

Perhaps it’s what they are meant to do

Alluring, in their ethereal graces

Captivating, with angelic faces

Autumnal beauties, ever glowing

Capture you, with enchantment, flowing

Friday Fantasy ~ Purely Foe

#poetry, beasts, demons, dorindaduclos.com, fantasy, Friday Fantasy, Halloween, howling, moonlight, Night Owl Poetry, poems, Purely Foe, screams, townfolk, werewolf


Harrowing screams, footsteps aflight

Shattering darkness, piercing the night

People running, ahead of the pack

Children crying, don’t look back

 

Fleeing from creatures, eyes aglow
Wolf like features, purely foe

 

Fast as you can, get away from this town

Devouring all, they will never back down

They never let go, no, they growl with delight

Eerily howling, under pale moonlight
