My eyes are blurred, in pastel pink

I think I’ve had too much to drink

Nothing’s making any sense

Imagination, my self defense

With trickery, you change my vision

Enough to cause this indecision

Do I carry on, the way I am

Or sober up, with another gram

That brings my focus back in view

Though things remain, quite askew

Perhaps it’s best to sleep it off

Forget the drink, what was that quaff?

That made everything, before me, blurry

While time blew by me, in a hurry

With this, a bitter pill, to swallow

Is this the path I’m doomed to follow?

#TBT ~ Imagination – #poetry

A light down a darkened path
beckons me to follow
As I approach
it flickers
making me stop, wait

Again it calls
I continue forward
not knowing what lies beyond
the blackness that settles around me

A light so bright, yet not
I cannot see past it
My eyes play tricks
seeing only what my mind allows
Fantasy settles in

It lures me
and I walk, following
unaware that I am pursuing
My darkest dreams
my biggest fears

I turn around, afraid
and find nothing
but the darkness in which I began
Yet sounds and shadows engulf me
in a sensory overload

And I freeze, unable to comprehend
all that is there
and not
Only to realize my existence
in my own imagination

I am no sleeping beauty

My finger I will not prick

I’m looking for the light of God

To forget this darkness, thick

But the thorns do not allow me

To find that peaceful place

So I wander through the night

To find His sacred grace

Where I can lay my head, to rest

No spindles, to make me bleed

Just close my eyes, in solemn hope

And let my dreams concede

She dreams, under the light of the moon

Now shards of crystal, icy glowing, pieces of

Of her soul, gathered by the sky, frozen from

Her thoughts and visions, flying about, and

In the distance, as she exhales, tiny droplets

To chill the night, slowly, it numbs her,

Frost-bound, to her quintessential heart
