I’ll keep this to myself, she said
While thoughts are swirling in her head
No need for her to burden you
With things, you’ll only misconstrue
Let it fade away, in hermetic mist
With red lips, and a silent kiss
She’s not about to speak a word
A secret never should be heard

Bewildered by what she cannot be
Reflections in the glass, mirror only me
Cast aside, she’ll watch the others play
Curious thoughts still gather her way
Wondering why they have left her alone
No one to talk with, here on her own
Somber and lonely, she sits and she dreams
The only true friends are illusions, it seems

A lantern is no longer lit
Near this cell, where I must sit
Darkness plagues my every day
Yet in this narrow space I stay
Golden skies, in this empty place
Soar across, in an endless race
Yet, I cannot see them with my eyes
I see them in my mind and try
To recreate a land once cherished
Where land and trees forever flourished
And flora once did overwhelm
When I was ruler of this realm

Sunset beckons the tides to roll
Drawing you deeper into your soul
Reaching beyond the calling of day
Taking you farther and farther away
As nighttime descends upon oceans of blue
Covering waters with darkness anew
You slip past the shadows of ebony night
Awaiting the comfort of morning’s first light

For Alyssa…..
In the darkest storms
She is the brightness that glows
When light cannot shine
