Tossed about
By the curse of the sea
The crew, in peril,
Could not break free.
The demons held tight,
Never letting go
Poor little ship,
Thrown about, to and fro.
Damaging waves
Thrashed about the bow
Men, hanging on,
But they didn’t know how
To stop the water
From coming aboard
Surely, someone
Had caused this discord
No time to wonder
No time to blame
The rocks, getting closer
Held each of their names
One by one,
They disappeared
Voices, now silenced
It’s what they had feared
They never did find
This vessel, lost at sea
Surely, evil prevailed
Twas the Devil’s apogee

A Fire in the Sky – #poetry

There’s a fire in the sky,
A blaze in the night;
The phoenix has risen,
A harrowing sight.
Out of the ashes,
She burns like a flame;
Dare not touch her,
You’ll not be the same.
Anger has plagued her,
She’s out on a tear;
No mercy does she hold,
You better beware.
She’ll scald like acid,
Her touch is sure death;
Like a funeral pyre,
She’ll steal your last breath.
Coveting daylight,
She blocks out the sun
Engulfing, surrounding
There’s nowhere to run.
As she savages the land,
With a spark she does maim
Sad to say, we have only
Us humans to blame….
**Authors Note: The incredible picture above was taken by my friend Sharon. This was the sky, down the shore in NJ, last night. Can you see the face in the fiery clouds? I chose to believe it was a phoenix, although I must admit it looks more devilish…

In my hand I have a box
Come closer and you’ll see
Don’t open it or look inside
Lest it cause you misery
I’ve traveled very far and wide
Through all I could withstand
Now, time is slipping quickly by
So, hurry, take my hand
For inside this tiny package
There’s a treasure full of sin
Fear, and greed, evil deeds
All lie in here, within
The distant train approaching
Is filled with his villainous clan
I beg of thee, just let it be
Don’t fuel the Devil’s plan
Don’t let the sinister voices
Wreak havoc in your head
Think of me, and all to be
Of joy and love, instead
The key that unlocks secrets
Kept hidden deep inside
Is tied to me, around my waist
I keep it there, beside
Will you open up the box?
I think you will, I fear
I’ll give you the key,
If you promise me
All hope will not disappear

He
Plotted
Against her
She, unaware
Was drawn into him
Demonic sources raged
As fires, aglow, flickered
Against the darkness of the night
Death was knocking, she, ignoring him
Would not let the devil lead her astray
June Writing Prompt – The plot was evil, but she had never even known – Day 26/30
