Night turns to day
And day into night
Trying hard to hold on
With all of my might

A rope burns my hand
And I’m starting to slip
Sweat from my palms
Makes it harder to grip

The reality of all
I have fought to forget
Though darkness creeps in
There’s no time for regret

Trying hard to hold on
With all of my might
Yet, I’m slipping away
I’m not able to fight

The demons that kept me
And haunted my soul
I’ve lost who I am
Evil’s taken its toll

She writes, to drive away reality

Lost in worlds, of immortality

Searching passages of ancient rhyme

To drown the sorrows of life, unkind

Once written on a single page

Smeared about, by senseless rage

This story, penned, becomes a blur

The one that’s known to only her

Cast your eyes upon my face

Let me take you to this place

Where reality becomes a blur

And oddities do then occur

This light that shines within my eyes

Is full of mad, seductive lies

I’ll bring you to a world unknown

To sit upon your kingly throne

Your destiny I’ve carefully planned

As you perfectly fit, in the palm of my hand

#TBT – Pour Me Another

Pour me another
The wicked elixir
Coating my palate
Blurring reality

The golden colors
Soaking through my pores
Intently causing
A sense of ethereality

Standing up
The ground gives way
And I float
Into indifference

Blurring Reality – #NaPoWriMo

eyes-394176_960_720
Reflections hidden in the pane

Through the looking glass again

Wondering what it is I see

Raindrops, blurring reality

Lost inside this weary head

Words unspoken, left unsaid

Sleepless nights, I dream of you

Thoughts I never can undo

Sighing in the cold, dark night

Thunderous silence, scattered light

Beckons me to watch and stare

Could it be you I see out there?

Or is it just the storm that plays

With memories of yesterdays
