Verdant path to follow home

Free to wander, free to roam

Captivates my earthly senses

Awakens yet, my own defenses

Of never knowing what I’ll find

Around the corner of my mind

The misty haze, of the mountain pass

Turns to reed and binding grass

Cobblestones pave the lush green aisle

And feel myself begin to smile

It is here, where I belong, to play

To forget the paths of yesterday

Young love, is always an elfin treasure

Joyous and carefree, by any measure

Through the forests, they romp all day

Dragons about them, watch them play

He’ll pick a flower, for his dear one

She’ll sigh with happiness, it’s only begun

He’ll make a promise to her, a solemn oath

That she is the one, of which he’ll betroth

For elfin beings, together, will stay

When two souls merge, on the forest pathway

Friday Fantasy ~ Forgotten Ruins – #MayWriting #poetry

Broken windows, shattered dreams

Within this house, invisible screams

Memories of those, now left behind

It’s so unfair, but life’s unkind

Pieces strewn about the halls

Crumbling pieces, of the walls

Rooms, in tatters, torn, disheveled

The forgotten ruins, of a devil

Now cast aside, this demon roars

Furniture thrown, against the door

Stairs that lead, to no certain place

A man of honor, now disgraced

What he refuses to condole…

 

…are the cries of every tortured soul

 

May Writing Prompt:  Forgotten ruins – Day 18/31

Friday Fantasy ~ The Final Eclipse – #poetry

Blackened eyes that bare the night
She hides, in the alley way
A mission, she must carry out
One they talked about today

Dressed for shadows, against the light
She could stay, without being seen
Many were gathering, in the square
She would wait, for them, to convene

Quietly, on the rain soaked street
She could hear them, so many voices
The demon within her, now unleashed
And her darkened soul, easily rejoices

One by one, she silenced them
Until the blood ran from her lips
Her deed was carried out, quite well
All before the moon’s final eclipse

Friday Fantasy ~ Final Breath – #poetry #writephoto

Stairs that wrap, disappear, out of sight

Ghostly figures that haunt the night

Dare not disturb this hallowed place

Nor ascend the steps, once filled with grace

Beware the guard who stands his ground

Tip toe now, don’t make a sound

Dare you disturb the spirits sleep

In this castle, is where you’ll keep

Locked away, in the darkest depth

Tis where you’ll take your final breath
