Her spirit lingered, much like the mist that covered the sacred ground of the fallen. They were scattered among the mundane, the ones with no name, who were buried haphazardly among the royals. She was neither. She was free to roam, free to frighten those who thought themselves better. On nights like these, she would make her way out of the graveyard, between the headstones, watching them fall to pieces as she snaked her way through. One touch and she could end them all, but she preferred to play. Callously, entering houses, knocking over fine antiques, without a care, she wreaked her havoc among the living. Children ran, women screamed and men cowered, yet they could not see her, they only felt her wrath as she slipped by. And as the sunlight approached, and darkness began to fade, she would make her way back to her surreptitious place, buried among the dead….

….But this time she wasn’t alone.

 

Should I continue?  Or leave as is?  I’ll let you decide 🙂

I will fly away, on a feathered ride

Disguise myself, so I can hide

Leave the turmoil, journey where

Golden suns caress my hair,

Fill my lungs with fragrant air,

Hoping I can find me there

Cast my worries to the side

As tranquility and I collide

Is there a place I can wander to,

Where no one else can find me?

A place that I can call my own,

Where chains no longer bind me?

Somewhere I can just relax

Kick back and breathe awhile

Take in subtle calming breezes

Just sit, and write, and smile

I need to find myself again

Though I’m not sure if I can

Perhaps I never really roamed

And this is all God’s plan

So I will take some time to think

And hope for a simple solution

That my life is really what I make of it

And that place, is just an illusion

Sun lit rays that dance above

Create a shimmering view

Clouds become lakes, reflective of

The beauty enfolded for you

Serenity dances amongst the folds

As day becomes the night

Tranquility lingers, ever bold

And I sigh at this heavenly sight

I can feel your fire beside me

Feel your breathing light the flame

Eyes that glow with desire

As my heart you’ve come to claim

Fiery feelings ignite me

Draw me closer to your core

Drag me back to your waiting lair

Make me hungrily beg for more

You’ve captivated my very soul

Entranced me in your spell

I am forever your paramour

My love for you I cannot quell
