In a cavern, far below the earth
Darkness could easily be found
Violet stones show their worth
Underneath the frozen ground

Shards, the likes of icy gems
Glisten, when they catch the light
But beauty hides the worst of them
They disappear, nowhere in sight

You cannot see the danger, when
You walk across the tundra
The cavern opens up its jaws, then
It carries you, down under

There’s no escape, from the well below
You’ve reached your eternal slumber
And they’ll go back to their violet glow
But your mind, will be torn asunder

I thought April’s prompts were done

Then along comes Will Robinson

Can this get any stranger?

Oh wait, Danger! Danger!

Michelle sure has a weird sense of fun!

But I have to admit, I don’t mind

It’s kind of my way to unwind

I go to some faraway place

Where I can get “lost in space”

And be away from the day to day grind!

The ground continued to quake

As she appeared, aloft, before them

Wings, the sight of evil fire

This vision of chaos, deplored them

In the air, she floated, athirst

Waited, as she watched them fall

Beguiled, by her ravishing beauty

They never saw the peril, at all

I saw him from my window. Face smudged with mud, a twinkle in his eyes, he glanced my way, like he was coaxing me. I didn’t know him, this child, but there was something enticing, alluring, and even my mind knew, was dangerous, but I ventured out anyway. As I got closer, he moved further away. I followed, noticing his face wasn’t the only thing covered with mud. He was, all of him. Where had he come from?  We continued with this little cat and mouse game, or maybe it was follow the leader. At last we stopped, and I watched his eyes, wide and excited, as he watched me drown, in a sea of mud.

stairs-989408_960_720
Stairs that lead to no special place

Coveted by ivy, moss, and trees

As I glance up to the top of them

I notice someone looking back at me

Eyes of stone, with chiseled lips

Can he be guarding these paces?

Or is it just my state of mind

That leads me to these faces?

The railing beckons me to climb

Pass this realm of rock, asleep

Careful not to make a sound

Up the stairs, I start to creep

Then stop in my tracks along the way

I’m sure that I heard someone say

“The journey is far beyond the stairs
Adventure awaits you, if you dare”

Surely, it’s the whispering wind

That’s driving me insane

For I refuse to believe a rock

Could be calling out my name
