Whispers, silence in the night

Shadows, figures in the light

Footsteps, echo off the ground

Bodies, scattering around

Screaming, nothing can be heard

Blindness, filters the absurd

Evil, gathering its flock

Spirits, race against the clock

Sunlight, rising in the east

Demons end their deadly feast

The night was peaceful, yet carried an eerie feel with it. Waters under the old bridge were unusually calm, a mist was gathering in the trees. The sudden silence didn’t last for very long, a rumble from below made its way across the land. “An earthquake?!” someone shouted.

The bridge, once the center of the town’s joy, began to crumble. Bricks fell into the waters below, a deafening sound. Then it was gone. No bridge to cross. The town folk, startled from sleep, were stuck on the other side, with no way out.

All because a troll had to sneeze.

Carry me away on the wings of a cloud

The silence surrounding, ever so loud

Speaking in colors of pastel unknowns

Pinks and blues, in harmonious tones

Bathing in luminous, scattered beams

Drowning me in my forever dreams

That breathe the colors to make me whole

As I float along with Heaven’s soul

Calming repose, inhaling tranquility

On the wings of a cloud, whispered serenity

Friday Fantasy ~ Caught in the Pages – #poetry #dreams

She fell asleep, in a book, in a faraway land

To dream about love, the touch of his hand

She surrounded herself, in clouds and stars

Curled up in the pages, of Jupiter and Mars

But, words became blurry, no longer told tales

The nightmare began, her dreams, assailed

Lost in the binding, she fought to awaken

Unsteady hands quaked, as if being shaken

Try as she may, she remained in the dream

Until the harrowing sound of a horrid scream

Brought her back to reality, groggy, but she

Was still caught in the pages, and ever will be

Friday Fantasy ~ Nevermore – #poetry

Guided by light, through the misty night

A ship finds its way, across the ocean

Bobbing in the sea, it remains a mystery

How it was brought here, on waves of motion

Or perhaps it’s the moon, makes sailors swoon

Unaware are they, of her alluring beams

Closer they come, until they are numb

Alas, all is not really what it seems

Still, the ship heads in, from where its been

Sails folded, as she glides toward shore

A crash, tis a sight, though try as they might

They can save themselves, nevermore
