Platinum rockets outshine the night

Setting on fire, this battle of wills

Radioactive, they tarnish the skies

Feeling nothing, only out for the kill

Men, women, children, die horrible deaths

Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected

War torn and ravished, faraway lands

Unable to fight back, quite unprotected

Peace needs a place, to call its home

An Earthly portal, to welcome all

Three nations together, cannot do it alone

For when evil wins, the mighty will fall

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain. May God watch over them…

April Writing Prompt: Platinum Plutonium – Day 14/30

How silly is Triskaidekaphobia?

It’s only a number, after all

Even the Roman’s chose the fifteenth

Twas when Caesar took his final fall

So why do we associate thirteen

With ladders, cracks and black cats?

Is it just another mischievous way

To scare others into thinking that

Something terrible will surely happen

If they pay no heed, to the supposed curse

We’ll let them think it’s just another day

But we know it to be much worse

Spinning overhead, into the night
Whispers of sounds, quite loud

Growing still, in the approaching light
Waves of words, screaming, from clouds

Twas a galaxy filled, with millions of stars
Awhirl, chasing life, in the skies

Through the heavens, in search of Mars
On course, for a perilous demise

Misunderstanding, these creatures
Thought terror was on the attack

Unleashing their cold, deadly features
War broke out, turning skies into black

But, not even the blasters could guard
When worlds clashed, without hesitation

A galaxy of starlight, endlessly charred
There was nothing left, of this alien nation

April Writing Prompt: Galactic garble blasters – Day 13/30

Lay me down upon this stream
Where water glistens sweetly
Let me visualize this dream
That fills me so completely

Lanterns illuminate the night
Hidden shadows fill the mist
Shining with the pale moon light
Enrapture me in eternal bliss

Adorn the forest’s pure mystique
With nature’s splendid worth
No longer do I need to seek
I’ve found my Heaven on Earth

Dedicated to my beautiful Aunt Dee, whom I call my sister because she truly is. Battling with MS, she has more courage than anyone I know. I love her dearly.

She is my sanity, the voice of reason
