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

fantasy-1819044_960_720Sleep to forget
All that is, to remember

Lose yourself in a world
Of clouds and sunshine
Of stars and moon glow
Of faraway and here

Sleep
It escapes you
And finds you
At ill-chosen times

Sleep to remember
All that is, to forget

thorns-2013825_960_720
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

woman-1879905_960_720
She dyes her hair, paints her face

Dresses to the nines, awaits his embrace

Lipstick, crimson, as red as blood

Skin so soft, like a flower’s bud

Perfumed wrists, her baubles gleam

She prays this night is not a dream

His ravishing smile, her heart skips a beat

She who stands here, alone, on the street

She wonders aloud, “Will he postpone?”

Minutes, hours, no text on her phone

Realizing she’s being used, like a tool

She hangs her head down, feels like a fool

Gets back in her car, as fast as she can

Never again, will she wait, for a man

Clouds that swirl in azure skies

Waters flowing before my eyes

Catch me in hypnotic spells

Watching, as my dreams are quelled

Under sky, and over sea,

Is this where life has taken me?

Letting go, my thoughts do wander

Scattering about, it makes me ponder

What does all this really mean?

To be stuck here, in between
