Dragon’s keep
Where wee ones close by
Sit and play
Without care
Knowing they are protected
By winged warriors

Small child, inquisitive in nature
Pushes mightily against the door
A glimmer of light from the other side
Instinctively, he must know more!
Unaware he is being watched
He’s determined to make his way in
The door pushes back, stubborn, stuck
Is there even a chance he will win?
Head down, he is almost there
Til a sound from the room disturbs
“Who dares gain entrance to my lair?”
From a creature, now, quite perturbed
“Little boys don’t belong here” he cried
“You best go outside, yes, to play.”
“Leave me alone, in my empty home,
I beg of you, please, GO AWAY!”
The little boy laughed at the face on the wall
Not heeding the creature, would be his downfall…
April Writing Prompt – Inky blackness and the faintest glow of light from around the door

Fire sizzles against waters, vast
A mere reflection of the past
Day goes by, again, returns
Still the fire, there, does burn
***
Sleep now, in the evening glow
This final resting place, you go
So sad we can’t forever stay
Why must it always be this way?
***
When time reminds us, day is done
And with the earth, we become one
Much like the fire that leaves the sky
We will, at last, need say goodbye
Author’s Note: I wrote this poem with a heavy heart. There has been so much sadness this past year or so, and still, it continues. My heart goes out to all who lost loved ones… ❤

Enticed
She climbs the steps
Daring the fates, unknown
White candles flicker, beckoning
Seduced
This fire, out of her control
Burns deeply in her soul
She falls victim
Betrayed

Zeus’s storm
His beacons pierce night
Through clouds, thick
Unsettled
Poseidon balks, unamused
As lightning strikes deep
