Heroin

Heroin
Shadows once hidden
Drawing you out
Your heart begins to pound

The Demon invading
Holding you hostage
Enslaved, Ensnared, Bound

No way to escape
The Darkness within
It swallows you whole in a flash

You’re soaring so high
Not a care in the world
Unaware of the imminent crash

 

Heroin use is rising everyday. Pay attention.  Talk to your children.  Know what’s going on in their lives.  Don’t ever say “not my kid” because there’s no such thing.  Be involved….be a parent.

Sadly, my son and daughter have both lost classmates to this horrible drug.  To watch 20 something’s lay a friend to rest is a nightmare.  We can stop it….but only if we care.

Beautiful maiden
A wizard’s gain
Chaste, unsullied
Bound and sacrificed
Surrendered, discarded
The dark villain, prodigious
Nefarious, malevolent
Taking claim of his bounty
As evil triumphs over virtue

Friday Fantasy ~ A-Muse

A-Muse, fantasy, Friday Fantasy, love, lust, muse, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry

Show me the visions
Locked deep in your head
Wickedly taunting
As I lie cross your bed

A-Muse me with glimpses
You keep tucked away
Scintillating dreams
To lead me astray

Capture my body
Deep into your soul
Desirous, lustful
My heart you control

The Leaf Pile

Gather leaves, fallen down
Pile them high, above the ground
Into a stack, up to the sky
Are you ready to watch them fly?

Run at full speed, jump right in
Feet first, diving, do it again!
Toss the leaves, into the air
Laugh and play without a care

 

We all need a reminder of our childhood days every once in awhile.  I have fond memories of jumping in leaf piles, although I’m pretty sure my dad didn’t find it amusing.  On this Throw Back Thursday, I hope this reminded you of your childhood, too….
