But to take a step, to dream

To rise above, to the extreme

To far off lands, and unknown worlds

Where imagination becomes unfurled

A single page, an open book

You need do nothing more than look

Then read the words, escape the norm

Lose yourself, inside the storm

Of fantasies, through pages turned

To find the life, you’ve always yearned

Sounds in the Night ~ #poeticprose #spirits

Water drips in the shower stall, there’s no one in that room, at all; revelry, a party, who’s it for? I can’t take this anymore. What are these sounds, voices that cry, and wake the slumber from my eyes; why do they always come for me, why can’t they leave and let me be! Or in the least, invite me too, but who, indeed, I have no clue.

I’ve heard them so many times before, so I sneak across the hallway floor; but, of course, there’s no one here, another nightmare, this I fear. I try to go back to my room, but stop, to smell the sweet perfume. Who is it, they, who wreck my sleep, and cause these visions, much too deep; I think it’s how they toy with me, I ponder a moment, then disagree.

Deciding, at last, I should ignore; I go back to my bed, but leave open, the door.

 

Author’s Note:  based on a true incident, a somewhat nightly occurrence.

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Hidden deep, underneath, the crystal chandelier

A place so full of wonder, some say you’ll disappear

Into other’s imaginations, and places of unknown

Perhaps you’ll even find yourself, sat upon a throne

Oh, the many places, a book or two, will take you

Inside, secrets held, which perchance, could wake you

Watch the crystal ball, as it spins its magical spell

What happens next, friends, you simply cannot quell

Mystery and power, oh! And dragons, dance in rhyme

Guaranteed, I have no doubt, you’ll have a marvelous time!

So, step inside my parlor, grab a seat there, on the floor

And I’ll tell you about the library, a place you will adore

Colorful Thoughts ~ #poetry

28 Friday Dec 2018

#poetry, black, blue, colorful, colors, dorindaduclos.com, green, imagination, life, Night Owl Poetry, poems, purple, rainbow, red, white, writing, yellow

If I were a color, could you imagine what I’d be?

The yellow of the sun, or deep blue, like the sea

Orange, like a marigold, or just plain lily white

I have to find the color that fits me, just right

Perhaps I am purple, shades of light and dark

Perhaps I am red, set the sizzle, light the spark

Green, the cool of summer grass, between my toes

So many different choices, tell me, do you know?

Or maybe I am, merely black, like the pitch of night

Tis where I often find myself, always when I write

I think today, I shall be, all the colors I can find

Lost forever, happily, in the rainbow of my mind

 

Prompt: What color do you feel like today?

Moonbeam Dreams ~ #poetry of the #full #moon

Let me arouse your imagination
Fill your dreams with wondrous creation
Quixotic feelings, powerful, unleashed
Secretive cravings, hungry, released

Igniting the passion flowing through
Fascinating thoughts begin to brew
Spirits lifting your very being
Waiting, watching, ever seeing

To guide you through the mystical dark
Lightened with its mysterious spark
Close your eyes now, sleep
Fantasy awakening, slumber deep
