Porcelain, but the eyes are real
She sees what no one else can
Fiery red that frames her face
Painted lips to fool any man

Unsettled – #poetry of the unknown

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

Unsettled skies
Grows dark, the night
No vivid colors
To awaken sight
The moon refuses
To share its light
Darkness fills my eyes

Grasses lose
Their verdant hue
There is no color
Alas, tis true
What moves in shadow?
Is it you?!
Perhaps, this is merely a ruse

I blink to see
But nothing is clear
It’s shrouded in haze
Or is that my fear?
Taking over my mind
Insanity, near
I try, but cannot flee

Sadly, I am losing my spark
Please tell me what to do
So they cannot find me
Though they’ll try to ensue
What is left of my spirit
My friend, I need you!
Lest find myself lost in the dark

Her Delight – #poetry of a #spider

Tags

, , , , , , ,

She spins a perfect web
But is nowhere to be seen
Hides within the shadows
On this night called Halloween

Waiting, ever patiently
For that tasty little treat
She tricks her prey from far away
Their life she does deplete

Like lollipops, so sticky
Her trap, though not as sweet
Lures them in, every time
Such a diabolical feat

They try but never win the fight
Their demise… is her delight

A reflection in the mirror where
Hollow looking eyes do stare
Back at me, creates a scare
Is this really what I’ve become?
