In the twilight hours, when madness sets in
And the darkness engulfs you, when terror begins

Blurred in reality, a turn of events
Nothing around you makes any sense

Longing for sanity to visit again
Never really knowing where it has been

Torturing dreams that fly through the night
Grasping and grabbing, in torrid delight

Cause you to stumble, turn away from the real
In the hands of the devil, your soul, his steal.

 

Afterwards January Prompts – Madness – Day 21/31

She blends with glass, stained and downtrodden

Roaming the sacred halls, with those, misbegotten

The face so hopeless, sadly, no smile on her lips

She, a ghostly figure, marked, for eternal unbliss

Brick covered walls, will keep her safely inside

Painted on flowers, create a scene, she confides

In her imagination, lets it take flight, in this place

She wants only to stay, as she longs for embrace

Yet, roaming about, she leaves no trace behind

She keeps to herself, in the hopes, she can find

The one thing she misses, in this ungodly world

But, afraid to find it, keeps her heart, tightly furled

Til, alas, she gives up, and gives in, such a shame

This pretty young maiden, they don’t know her name

For none claim to see her, even though she is there

Seems they only feel coldness, surely, tis Liza’s despair

Tears of Night ~ #poetry #freeverse #Afterwards

Perhaps the night
Brings darkness
To cover up
The tears
Ones shed
By the clouds
Though
Never obvious
I ponder about
Where exactly
They’ve come from
Who is shedding them
And why
Are there angels
Mourning the loss
Of a loved one
Bearing the sorrow
Unburdening us
Our hearts
A cleansing
For the soul
Now in eternal rest
Or
Is it something
Beyond the simplicity

My footsteps, impressions, a story in rhyme

Water below me, frozen in time

Mirrored reflections, covered in snow

Over the bridge, back home I shall go

Where winter has left its mark on my soul

Dusted, with memories, from my evening stroll

Ride with the Spirits ~ #poetry

The winds blow heavy, against the pane

Outside, the sunlight diminishes the rain

I feel the tugging, as it grabs at my heart

The longing for adventure is about to start

With anticipation, I watch the leaves spin

My heart, seeking freedom, beats hard from within

Arms opened wide, I let the winds take me

Over mountains and seas, let it never forsake me

Just pick me up, there’s no need to cajole

I’ll ride with the spirits, I’ll follow my soul
