Who am I?

No air fills my lungs

I breathe in, taking all I can

Slowly, yet glutinous, never enough

To bring me back from the depths

Nor revive me, still

I struggle, gasp, in the non-existent

My eyes, blank, like the night sky

Clouded over, light diminished

Never to return, forgotten

Like a rag doll, I struggle

To find the time, that time

When the world was beautiful

And so was I

Though no one ever sees her

You always know she’s near

To pass away the hours

And help you quiet fears

You never have to worry

She’ll be with you till the end

To keep your secrets hidden

Your best imaginary friend

Mama’s Musical Ear ~ #poetry

Mama heard noises, those sounds in the night

Growing much louder, they gave her a fright

Voices came calling, symphonies would play

Nowhere was an orchestra, much to mama’s dismay

No one to talk to, I think mama was cracked

But she insisted these noises, just keep coming back

Turns out she’s not crazy, not one little bit

The doctor, she said, put a finger on it

The music and voices, she heard them, quite clear

All on account of her musical ear

 

Musical ear syndrome (MES) describes a condition seen in people who have hearing loss and subsequently develop auditory hallucinations. (Google)

Friday Fantasy ~ A Powerful Flame – #poetry

Sparks, of rhythmic fires, fly

Brightly burns and lights the sky

She is magic, a powerful flame

The moonlit night, is her domain

Barren lands lay wasted where

She walks upon, without a care

And leaves her mark, this earth to claim

A fiery being, of unearthly fame
