Pen to the paper

Lines that I scribble

Fall slowly, my mind

Starting to dribble

A trickle of ink

A blotch full of letters

That turn into words

Somehow much better

Than leaving the paper

Barren and white

This is my legacy

At the end of the night

Amidst the fog and full moon light

A house glows red with demonic delight

Terror reigns from deep within

Fills the air with a piercing din

Spirits roam the darkened grounds

Shrilling, shrieking, sounds abound

Horror shakes the shrouded land

That hides this fortress, once so grand

Haunting, against the black of night

Demons feast on earthly fright

I will not be defined
By the color of my skin
The style of my clothes
Or what shape I am in

My size does not make me
Any different from you
Look in the mirror
It’s all point of view

Society has
No claim over me
Trying to validate
What I refuse to be

But I know better
Than any of they
I know my heart
And with that, I’m okay

Tangled Webs ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

Purest white to fool her prey

A woven web of tangles

No matter where you try to stray

She’ll catch you, from all angles

A spider’s charm has consequences

With tricks, all quite alluring

Wraps herself round all your senses

To smother, is her securing

She’ll gather you up in a single thread

Spun from her very own hand

Until you are indeed most dead

Now you’re the dinner she has planned
