Brought about by blackened night

Shadows lurk beyond the light

Causing you to doubt your mind

In your dreams, you seek to find

The open door that’s let them in

The portal where it all begins

Spirits haunting as you sleep

More appear in slumber deep

Wandering about the room

Moaning, in a somber gloom

Yet no one hears them cry but you

You have to wonder what is true

Do these spirits fly among the beings?

Or is this just madness that you’re seeing?

This,
this is what causes me to
lose,
lose my faith,
my faith
in the human heart, the
Human being.
So out of control, like a
runaway freight train,
Touching down like a tornado,
a swirling destruction of debris,
taking everything in its path.
All in the name of what?
What,
I ask,
do you gain
from sacrificing
your mortal soul
to the demon known as
greed

Though wilted and dry

Our veins, forever nourished

Within love’s petals

Hidden in the Winter Fold

Fragile crystalline being

Ever knowing, ever seeing

Icy gray eyes, that find the cold

Hidden, in the winter fold

Of snowflakes, falling all around

Gathering, without a sound

A coat of white, your morning dew

Glistening in brilliant hue

A Storyteller’s Tale

A storyteller’s tale, once told in a book
Now sits on the shelf, in a lone dusty nook

He scribbled the words, on paper with pen
Let it dry for a moment, but suddenly, when

He returned to the paper, to finish his prose
The story was missing, and nobody knows

How something so precious, disappeared out of sight
So he put down his pen, and turned in for the night

He quietly closed, his creaking bedroom door
With smile on his face, he knew, evermore

For his words never left him, they’re there on his shelf
Bound by the story, he keeps to himself
