The colors of midnight, purple and blue

The crimson of roses, vibrant and true

Blackening skies against red petals, deep

Clouding my judgement, as I slip into sleep

Lost in a fantasy, dreams float away

In a fragrance that once held the meaning of day

Try as I might, I cannot awaken

Through blackness, in dreams, my soul is taken

Find me a place where the silence runs free

Peacefully quiet, tranquility

Let me get lost in winds gentle flare

Become one with the ever moving air

Never stagnant, awhirl through the trees

Silence is whispering, on the wings of the breeze

I am drawn to you

As the sun is drawn to the west

Silent anticipation arising

In the brilliance of your glow

In the hours before I rest

With the waters, capsizing

I am caught in your undertow

Feelings no longer repressed

The seas ever rising

You capture me in your flow

And in the silent hours, obsessed

My heart surrenders, surprising

Conquering me at your behest

door
Blood stained hands, behind the door

Tell a tale, of life, no more

Never shall they see the light

Scared to death, they screamed, affright

Tried to free themselves, in vain

Never to be free again

Guarded by unearthly ghouls

Maybe this is April Fool’s

No, it’s October, all Hallows soon

When the spirits are again attune

To capture next, their earthly prey

Steal the human souls, away

But humans push back, try to run

They don’t consider this much fun

Against the door, their bodies heave

Try as they may, they still can’t leave

Locked inside this hellish glass

Together, remaining, forever, en masse

Your soothing hands

Caress my aching soul

With a gentle touch you leave

Fingerprints upon my heart
