Enticed
She climbs the steps
Daring the fates, unknown
White candles flicker, beckoning
Seduced
This fire, out of her control
Burns deeply in her soul
She falls victim
Betrayed

With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2020, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this four years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day! See you tomorrow ❤

Awakening, from a nightmare
I realize, I’m not asleep
Try to pull the blankets up
Find them tangled, in a heap
Sweat pours down, like waterfalls
I try to wipe it, with the sheet
Suddenly, I’m freezing
But, can only feel the heat
Fire blazes before me
Flames devour what’s around
The din, it is quite deafening
But I cannot hear a sound
It dares me to snap out of it
Snap out of what? I have to ask
This dream has taken over
And it’s taken me to task
Of waking to reality, where
The walls don’t suffocate
Breaking free from what possesses me
I tempt the hands of fate

So cruel the tongue, where wicked flashes
The heart, so hardened, ever clashes
Without hope, they will never see
The walk they’ve chosen, cannot be
Words that maim, and actions, sunder
Evil, the soul, who has fallen under
The spell of another, who casts its stone
Yet, stands in the darkness, quite alone
Who dares not seek the light that blinds
Remains a soul, inhuman, unkind
That lashes out, when facing facts
Then denies its harsh, ungodly acts
Placing blame, on all but they
The mind, does simply go, astray
And though you try to reel them in
They choose to live this life of sin
Where evil dwells, and cruelty reigns
Held down, and forged, in heavy chains
Ones they made, from their own hate
Unknowingly, sealing, their own fate
