She found herself

In this unearthly place

Felt his presence

Chill her face

Watched the mist

Against the ground

Rise, then fall

Without a sound

Could this be illusion?

A trick, not a treat

He’s slowly surrounding

Himself, at her feet

Feeling the tug

She realizes fast

As he pulls her under

With a sinister grasp

There’s magic in the forests, here

When fairies let their lights appear

Floating about, like an endless dream

They mesmerize, with a blazing gleam

When fire surrounds you, in a dance

You wonder if it’s happenstance

They choose to show themselves to you

Perhaps it’s what they are meant to do

Alluring, in their ethereal graces

Captivating, with angelic faces

Autumnal beauties, ever glowing

Capture you, with enchantment, flowing

My Muse

This is the hour that suits me most

The time of night when I play host

To a stubborn muse who refuses to sleep

Who keeps me from my slumber deep

“Write the words”, she screams at me

Buzzing about, like an angry bee

No use arguing with this chick

Her mood swings come on pretty quick

I try to snooze, unsuccessfully

She tugs on my hair, quite like a bully

And then she lightens up her tone

She knows I need to be alone

To write the words that swirl in my head

The ones she whispered before SHE went to bed

Sun, guardian of day,

When clouds cover over, will we lose our way?

Will we aimlessly roam, seeking your light?

Or forever be lost, in the ebony night

Moon, guardian of night

When clouds cover over, do we quiver with fright?

Will we aimlessly roam, seeking the way?

Or forever be lost, to the light of day

H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

O therworldly, seeking shadows

W hen the light of day resigns

E ver frightening in their disguise

E phemeral glow ignites their eyes

N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine
