I am not all I seem to be
Come closer and look
Tell me
What do you see?

Fire becomes
The air that I breathe
No longer human
I fight to sheathe

The changeling inside me
This indelicate being
Who has taken my soul
Forever unfreeing

Locked deep within
My heart now a flame
This battle she’s won
I can no longer reclaim

The life I once lived
No place, no name
The dragon has spoken
I’m the end of her game

Sue has graced us with another fabulous photo!  The subject this week is “Dark“.


Twilight begins, as clouds fill with the last light of day, shining through darkening skies. Crepuscular rays gleam, casting shadows on the colorless mountains below. I blink, hoping to find the colors I remembered just moments ago, only to find gray. It’s that gray that dims everything it touches. But I look beyond the dull and dreary, and my soul sighs, contented. I have found that glimmer of light, shining down on me, no longer kept hidden in the dark.

When light begins to shine

And darkened skies diminish

I find you still, fast asleep

Thoughts and dreams unfinished

A subtle smile upon your face

To tell me you’re all right

With what awaits once you awake

From slumber’s gentle night

Watch out for a glass full of fizzy

Too much all at once makes you dizzy

Take your time, sip by sip

Be careful not to trip

In the loo, whilst freeing the whizzys

Out, on this cold, dark and rainy night
The mist, dimming everything in sight

No matter where I looked for light, no luck
Twas when the noise, of thunder, struck

Caught me off guard, my heart in my throat
Feelings of doom, began to denote

The reason I was here, caught in the storm
Standing alone, on this creaky platform

Waiting impatiently for the train, all along
It’s where I knew, I would always belong

With no lights to guide me, I continue to roam
Yes, the devil has taken the only place I call home

Riding the tracks, to the next place, I’d dwell
I’m boarding this train, next stop, living hell
