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 ❤

#FridayFantasy ~ Tempt the Hands of Fate – #poetry

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
