My brain, like a frustrated light bulb

Is a filament, constantly in need of a current

To make it spark imagination, I flip a switch

Let it glow for hours, until at last, it burns out

Try to tap it, hoping for the light to return

For the spark to, once again, kindle my thoughts

Regeneration, as the cycle begins again

Are you stardust or fairy light
Shining in my fading sight
Glistening softly in the night
Dancing in your midair flight

Or are you just a revelation
Mystical beings, sweet creation
Singing to my imagination
Bringing me to my salvation

Yet, all is never as it seems
Glimmering in celestial beams
Gathering secrets, forbidden schemes
Carrying me to my elusive dreams

His Damnation ~ #poetry

He sleeps through the night

Rages of a storm, his dreams

Scattering, in the wind

Drenching, as rain pours

Against the windows

This is his life, his imagination

*

He sleeps through the fight

Emotionless, visions extreme

Thunderous, a time he sinned

Soaking through, to his core

Now left alone, like a widow

This is his life, his damnation

My Own Little Niche ~ #poetry #FebruaryWriting

I have found the most perfect place

Where no one will find me, not even a trace

Hidden, secluded in the corner, you see

My own little niche, yes, that’s where I’ll be

Just enough light, from the window, at day

Just enough darkness, to keep others away

Lost in the quiet, I’ll peacefully sit

All alone, by myself, I won’t care a bit

Leave me my imagination, and let me read

A book of full of stories, it’s all I’ll ever need

Nightmares Keep Us Dreaming ~ #poetry #FebruaryWriting

We always tip the scales of time

When imagination guides the way

Angel prays for justice

While the Devil wants to play

Creation can be an illusion

One we never can debate

Without the conflict of these two

One for love and one for hate

Will the powers that be triumph?

Or will the evil always win?

Though purity is less and less

There seems to be more sin

The nightmares keep us dreaming

Though this is not what we should do

Awaken the promise of tomorrows

With the light that can break through
