She plays the sweetest melody

A violin, tucked under her chin

The sounds that make the angels sing

As on her fiddle, she would begin

A sadness, on her face, appears

Her eyes closed, as she’s recalling

The one who sat upon this chair

A child’s tears, would soon be falling

From this daughter, who loved her deeply

Though, no longer could she hear her play

Except through her very own fingers

Grandma said mommy wanted it this way

And so she plays, for her mother

A woman, she can no longer see

Until her time, on this earth, is done

When they’ll play, together again, for eternity

Child of fire
Change has come
As you lie upon your bed
Embers glow
As wings unfold
And human skin is shed

Alluring in its mystery
The tales of fire’s truth
Intoxicating spirit
It claims a young girl’s youth

Child of fire
Sleep upon
Your bed now made of flame
A fiery heart
The dragon’s call
Whispering your name

Noiseless, like a child

Safely tucked in a blanket

Crocus sleep through night

Scared for Good ~ #poetry #dark

In a darkened place, beside a tree
A rusted, old, antiquated jalopy
Sat with no driver, appeared empty
Not really sure how this could be

The headlights were on, beaming
Light through the fog, streaming
In the distance, someone screaming
Please wake me up, I must be dreaming!

This nightmare has gone too far
I can’t get away, from this wicked car
I’m not even sure where we are!
This whole thing is quite bizarre

Wait. What do I mean saying we?
All this time, I thought, it’s only me
I’m not really sure what it is I see
But this forest has become too creepy

Half asleep, I try to make my way back
Through the foggiest mist, in the black
Of night, where the spirits always attack
And I find myself, way off track

Fumbling around, looking for light
Not another soul, within my sight
Thank goodness, that would be a fright
If someone else, came out, in the night

Running blindly, through the wood
Flashbacks of evil, a lost childhood
I’d awaken myself, if I could
Nightmares keep you, scared, for good

Weep not, my child

For I shall console you

With loving arms

Which shall enfold you

For you are my flesh

No pity do you need

Find comfort within

Let no one impede

Your desires, your dreams

Will become what you seek

Feel my strength, entrusted

With a kiss, on your cheek
