The apocalypse was drawing near

Nothing left for humans, but to fear

Zombies, stalked the land by day

And in the night, found their prey

As anger ruled their empty minds

It taught them how to be unkind

But in the end, they too, did fall

Laughter could have saved them all

There was a time
Before time existed
When the world
Found love, instead
Of moments, twisted

There was a time
Before time slipped by
Carelessly, forgotten
Trying to stop it
Turning back, but why?

There was a time
Before the end of time
Where humans cried
As the planet lay wasted
Such a terrible crime…

Stinging Nettles – #poetry #JanuaryWriting

Be careful how you touch them

How they look is quite deceiving

Nature has the strangest ways

To leave your senses grieving

That something, oh so beautiful

Can hurt you, with a single stroke

Stay away from the stinging nettles

For it’s pain, they shall evoke

There are ways to travel o’er this bridge

Come now, I’ll show you the way

I’ve traveled it so many times myself

I know it by heart, you might say

There’s an ethereal feeling, each time you cross

On the other side, things to astound you

I promise you, you’ll feel quite light

With the magic, that flows all around you

Follow me, my weary friend

Across the bridge, beyond the trees

Where carefree days and butterflies

Make for magical memories

Dunked and Drizzled – #poetry #JanuaryWriting

Sunday’s delectable sweetness

Drizzled, in creamy perfection

All it needs is a cup of you

To complete this dreamy confection

A reason to wake in the morning

It’s like the sunrise on a gloomy day

Share with me, won’t you, please

Drop by for a nibble, and stay
