It spins, this whirlpool in my head

Systematically revolving in a circle

Not many travel
To the top of these stairs
Most never make it,
Though she doesn’t care.

Never reaches out,
To offer her hand
They teeter and topple,
And there she’ll stand.

Smirk on her face,
Fire in her eyes
This Tower of Terror,
She’ll make you despise.

Every breath you’ve taken,
To reach the very top
Every muscle that’s aching,
But you just can’t stop.

She captures with a spell,
To fight you don’t dare
She’s invited you, dearie,
Into Autumn’s Lair.

Nearer the End – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

I watch the sun set

In a brilliant blaze

Under a sky of stars

I get lost in their haze

Twilight engulfs

My most secret thoughts

As golden rays bury

My mind, distraught

I am captivated

By glorious, rays of light

That take me from morn

Into the night

While I sit here and wonder

What is to be?

When my eyes finally close

What is it I’ll see?

Will my time on this Earth

Be nearer the end?

Or will I still see the light

As thoughts transcend

Higher, like the swing

Which knows no bounds

I fly, for I am no longer

Planted, on the ground

No End in Sight ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight

Between Midnight and Morn – #NaPoWriMo

It’s that time again, that time after midnight,

and before dawn, when the only thing you hear

is the loud silence that surrounds, taking up space

in the darkness of night, casting shadows against

a black wall. You blink and still the dark exists,

blink again, but it doesn’t disappear. Search

for the light that left with the day, as you drift,

in and out of what is real or what you have

imagined. Will you ever find it again? Are you

even looking for it? Do you know what it is or

have you lost your way, between the disquiet,

of midnight and morn…
