His minions swirled
Around the castle, dark
Blackened shingles
Stand cold and stark
Still, this prince
Will leave his mark
On the one so unsuspecting

I am okay
But you didn’t ask
You were too into
Yourself
To even notice…
I wasn’t
But that’s alright
Really, it is
Because I shy away
From false emotions
What you think
I want to hear
I don’t
My self-esteem
Has been through
Enough
I have made
Peace
With myself
And my God
And that is
Why I am
Okay
Really.

The melody kept playing with her mind
Bringing tears to her porcelain face
A memory, of a man, who once was so kind
Now he was, simply, her only disgrace
Warned by so many, to keep up her guard
She ignored them, said they were wrong
Soon to find out, life really was so hard
And he left her, with nothing but a song
Each night, she dressed, in the mirror, wept
Seems for her, it was the same, every day
Tis what happens, when you lack self-respect
And with time, the music faded away
December Writing Prompt – She dressed, then wept as the music faded away – Day 10/31

A reflection of light, caught in the trees, carried to them, on the wisp of a breeze, shined in the glow of the morning sun, trees gathered near, to see where it was from. Once, this forest was naked and dark, with nothing to live for, it remained vacant and stark. Until the day, when the rays appeared, and bathed them all, in a light, so clear; and their leaves blossomed, and they let out a sigh, beauty returned, with a rallying cry. After years filled with nothing but bark on the trees, now filled with thousands of emerald leaves, the forest, surrounded by visions of light, was never again, afraid of the night.

It’s that time of year again, when I start to take weekends off from my blog, not totally, but enough to be able to spend time with my family. So, Backyard Buddies returns for Season 2 🙂
Hey! You look just like me! Hello there!
