gothic-1253213_960_720Drawing you in

Taunting, Teasing

Until you are spent

Daunting, Ceasing

No sense can be made

Hanging, Grasping

She swallows you whole

Haranguing, Gasping

Her darkness descends

Cloaking, Hovering

Blinding your mind

Choking, Covering

Til nothing is left

Barren and Void

Insanity lingers

Empty, Destroyed

Spiraling around her, with undignified flair

Consuming her being, ingesting her air

It spoke not a word, just a hum of a voice

In a moment she knew, she had no other choice

She’ll succumb to the madness, held once at bay

Let the fires keep burning, she’s nothing to say

Spinning and swirling, her mind, in a daze

Trapping her, in its hypnotic haze

Waves appear in rapid show

Swirling, like a tornado, grow

Hands that grip, the fear in me

Are now a part of this old tree

I hold on tight, my fingers dig

This vortex snaps me like a twig

Spinning out of my control

Stuck here, on this magnetic pole

Afraid to lose my grip, and so

I stay here, never letting go

Insanity, the incessant need

To put pen to paper, indelible ink

Invisible, yet clearly seen

Leaving a mark, permanently

Inscribed, on blank pages

Merely, the story of our life

woman-1477085_960_720
She waits, among the evening mist

In the forest, a familiar place

Where she can sit in quiet thought

Longing for his sweet embrace

Each passing night grows longer

Still, she waits as time goes by

Silently, she’ll contemplate

Never knowing the reason why

Each time, he says ‘tomorrow’

He’ll return, a recurrent theme

And she’ll come back here, once again

Beguiled, by her fanciful dream
