Another Day

Tags

I watch the breeze
As it flutters by
Caressing the leaves
With its lullaby

It swirls about
A leaf unbound
And sends it spiraling
To the ground

The days grow short
And the weather colder
And time goes by
As I grow older

Another summer
That went astray
Another season
Another day

Dark is My Soul

Tags

Ebony is the night

That grows ever darker

Deeper into my soul

Cascading like a waterfall

Carrying me away from the light

A fracture in the shadows

I drink in the blackness

Soaking in the void

Radiance cannot sate

Friday Fantasy – Magic’s Spark

Tags

, , , , , ,

Energy flows
Igniting the night
With a fiery blaze
Awakening the land
Summoning forth
The wizard’s force

Releasing its churn
The mountain screams
With billowing smoke
Stoking the flames
Shattering the calm
Of the demons below

Pedestal

Tags

, , , , ,

Set high on a pedestal
You think you have it all
Looming over the littles
The ones who lifted you
You now look down upon

You gloat

Thinking

‘I’ve got it made’

Until you fall
And the only sound you hear
As you hit bottom
Is laughter
Karma’s a bitch

Paint With Ink

Tags

pen-428266_960_720I am an artist

Whose paintbrush

Flows with the ink

Of pictures written

On a canvas bare

Letters in perfect symmetry

Romancing the palette

A portrait in verse
