A candle flickers, on the bedroom stand

This is the night, she so carefully planned

Her favorite book, laid by her side

She promised to read it, but knew that she lied

The pill bottle, there, on her white satin sheets

Open and empty, she’s falling asleep

Her thoughts start to wander, with dreams, unfulfilled

The rooms getting colder, her body now chilled

The flame, once so bright, is diminished instead

For she took her own life, when she made her own bed

Where once you were, you’re no longer there

I bet you thought, I wouldn’t care

But I do, you see, it’s important to me

The reason you felt, you had to flee

Did I forget to mention you?

Is this something I should do?

I hope one day, you’ll change your mind

When once again, my blog, you’ll find

 

Authors Note: This was a challenge from my dear friend, Michelle of Putting My Feet in the Dirt.  She wrote a poem about losing a follower and two days later, I noticed I lost one, too, so I blamed her lol  She dared me to write about it, so here it is 🙂

A storm rumbles in

With the thunder of hoof beats

Over the horizon

I spent the day in quiet thought, the time passed by like lightning

How could these musings be so fraught, how could they be so frightening?

I tried to clear the darkness, yet it fought its way back in

And that was when I realized, exactly where I’d been

Lost in shadows, I crept about, noticing things encumbered

No longer freeing, always fleeing, my soul, for sure, outnumbered

She traveled quietly, about the town, no one seemed to greet her

Eerily floating above the street, I didn’t want to meet her

Soon she vanished, without a trace, and I felt myself relieved

Still I pondered why she came, and what I, did now, perceive

bird-1839638_960_720Hello friends!

Over the course of this year, I will be sharing a different side of me.  I’m hoping it will lead me in new directions, and not smack into a tree.  I admit, my life is not all peaches and cream (whose is), and as such, my dark side does emerge from time to time.  I’ve decided I’m going to let it loose whenever it feels the need.  I hope you’ll indulge me on this endeavor as I spread my wings and soar!

As some of you have already seen, I am also dabbling in short stories.  I blame Richard for this.  I have to admit, I’m having fun   🙂

Your feedback is greatly appreciated….thank you in advance.

I’ll see you on the dark side….(and I definitely have cookies)

❤  Dorinda
