I watch as summer fades to past, and autumn shows her face, and yet, as autumn colors Earth, winter comes so fast. No more warmth, nor sunny days, snow white mountains fill the sky; gold and red do fade away, and all I can do is sigh. Too quickly do the seasons change, one by one, they disappear; and feelings that are ever strange, within me, quite austere. But I will stand atop this rock, hear the winds call my name; open my mind, breathe in, take stock, let the mountains, my soul, reclaim

Sunlight Burns the Night ~ #poetry

Charcoal clouds envelop the sun

Still, she fights, with all her might

Determined, to keep the dark away

And let her soul burn, into the night

Twilight, refusing to allow this

Said daytime could only stay for awhile

But she would not give in to him

For she knew just how to beguile

Igniting the clouds, with a spark of fire

She made her way, through the pitch

Darkness, she enamored, with her light

As the sky she did perfectly bewitch

A Creature of Poetry ~ #poetry is #life

The bewitching hour has finally come

When I am no longer feeling numb

The time I envision, the perfect scene

Not ordinary visions, but words, fill my screen

Imagery exposed, with the lightest touch

These are moments, I treasure so much

A time, when I can fall, into the night

That caresses my soul, and holds me tight

The moonlit skies, the twinkle of stars

This is the time that takes me so far

Gathering thoughts, I feed off the words

A creature of poetry, longing to be heard

#TBT ~ Misunderstood – #poetry

I write in a genre

Oft misunderstood

I’ve tried to explain it

The best that I could

These aren’t just words

That float in my head

They are my soul

Releasing instead

The passion inside me

Pounding deep in my heart

I am a writer, a poet

And my words I impart

On all who will listen

This is my true devotion

Flowing out from within

Like my endless emotion

Condemned ~ #MayWriting #poetry #dark

The windows gave no warning

Of the madness kept inside

She walked in silence, mourning

Searching for the soul who died

Wandering about, unknowing

She was quite simply an aberration

A mind filled with naught, overflowing

Condemned, in her own damnation

 

May Writing Prompt:  Window of warning – Day 23/31
