In the crinkled pages, of an old notebook

I wrote my life story, with all that it took

Parchment discolored, tattered and torn

Of how my life was ended, when yours was reborn

I had kept them so close, afraid to let go

This was just me, though you’d never know

You didn’t remember, once, we were one

All that we had, had been sadly undone

It was then that I realized, how could I be so blind

This fantasy, created, was all in my mind

You never brought roses, nor held me so close

My words on the paper, were mere empty prose

Now the books are frayed, and the roses are dried

Left there, in memory, of the day that I died

Deep in Her Mind ~ #poetry of #magic

Authors note: This poem was written for the beginning of a novel, ( as yet untitled), my daughter is penning!  Can you tell how thrilled I am that she is writing?!


When once a tale, twas never told

A child was brought into the fold

Always knowing she was special

Unaware she was, of her inner devil

With powers to make the bold collapse

And let the meek fight back, perhaps

Elders let her find her way, never letting go

Of the magic, watching it take its course

Til it was time to let her know

Yes, the feelings she held, dark, inside her

Would open her heart, and guide her

To the wonders she would finally find

The ones she has hidden, deep in her mind

Friday Fantasy ~ Batty – #poetry

With a flick of a wrist, she draws them about

No need for a costume, she’s real, there’s no doubt

They fly around her, like suitors, not pets

No matter their fate, they’ll have no regrets

For they are the ones, the protectors of she

Who will fall to their death, her sweet devotees

Should they be unable to fight away others

Jeopardize this woman, their chiropteran mother

She’s unafraid to reveal, as nighttime does fall

That she’s merely a girl, with bats that enthrall

Though she is no marvel, in DC she reigns

Searching for the likes of a man they call Wayne

Friday Fantasy ~ Forgotten Souls – #poetry

Overgrown flora adorns this place

Hiding what’s under the cement staircase

No one will journey beyond the gates

Lest they find out what certainly awaits

Dare not, to step on this place of death

Careful! This could mean your very last breath

So many souls are forgotten here

Left all alone, yet you’ll still feel them near

Though emptiness fills this hallowed ground

The spirits still linger, make nary a sound

No need for a raucous, this they well know

Just a harsh, subtle whisper, reveals them so

#poetry, dorindaduclos.com, ethereal, fantasy, gentle souls, Listen, Night Owl Poetry, spirits, whispers, writing

Listen, do your hear them
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Listen! Do you hear it?

Locked forever in the ruins
Of yesterday’s gone by
Ethereal creatures
On the wisp of a wind
Their voices quietly sigh

Lost forever in this place
Yet, solace do they find
Dancing about
In mysterious ways
Body, soul and mind

Yes, their voices fill the stillness
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Just listen, you will hear it
