Escape with me
To worlds unknown
Into the forest mist
Along the path
Of guiding trees
That color gently kissed

To a place
Where specters rule
And spirits run so free
Along the path
Your destiny awaits
In shrouded mystery

Do not fear
The road ahead
All is not what it seems
Along the path
You journey now
Awakening your dreams

Chasing Monsters, fantasy, Friday Fantasy, Night Owl Poetry, nightmares, poems, poetry

Clinging to the cold hard stone
Looking down below
Contemplating my escape
Alas, no place to go

Nightmares fill my every thought
Dragging me further within
Will someone come to rescue me
Before my breath wears thin

Save me from this darkened place
The demons, cast away
As I stand upon this window’s ledge
Calling for the light of day

To chase the monsters from my head
And drive away the pain
Release me from this tortured soul
Let me breathe in life again

When the colors of twilight

Welcome the calm of the night

And the only sound I hear

Is your heartbeat whispering near

And I feel your love’s caress

As we lay this day to rest

The smoke

From the fire in your eyes

Clouds my judgment

Smoldering glances

Burn my reason

Flames flicker and dance

In enchanting fervor

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, sober, tequila, worm

tequila-bottle-1353391_960_720I looked in the bottom of the bottle
My stomach began to churn
I looked up and down and all around
But couldn’t find the worm

The tequila was playing tricks
My mind was sort of fuzzy
I know that worm was somewhere near
He doesn’t want me to find him, does he?

I searched across the bar
I crawled along the floor
And still there was no sign of him
Maybe he went out the door

I staggered my way toward the exit
Hoping that’s where he’d be
Then reality hit with a sobering thought
The worm was inside of me

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
