They cry out in anguish,

Voices never heard aloud

Yet, the weak become stronger

Braving the mighty gusts

Of unrelenting winds

Until they are strong no more

Letting go, their one last grasp slips away

And they float, down to the ground

Lingering, in those final moments

Before their souls blend with the earth

sun-1717412_960_720
It carries the voices

Of souls cast aside

Spirits, now fallen

In a timely suicide

We watch as they spiral

Then die, one by one

Detached and free falling

Under October’s sun

Yet, they fear not their destiny

As they whirl and they soar

Swept away, once again

With the wind’s mighty roar

H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

O therworldly, seeking shadows

W hen the light of day resigns

E ver frightening in their disguise

E phemeral glow ignites their eyes

N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine

door
Blood stained hands, behind the door

Tell a tale, of life, no more

Never shall they see the light

Scared to death, they screamed, affright

Tried to free themselves, in vain

Never to be free again

Guarded by unearthly ghouls

Maybe this is April Fool’s

No, it’s October, all Hallows soon

When the spirits are again attune

To capture next, their earthly prey

Steal the human souls, away

But humans push back, try to run

They don’t consider this much fun

Against the door, their bodies heave

Try as they may, they still can’t leave

Locked inside this hellish glass

Together, remaining, forever, en masse

fire-heart-961194_960_720
I feel the warmth

Your body breathes

So close to my heart

Comforting, Soothing

The flames of love

Ignite the passion

Weakened, I submit

Languishing, Yielding

Devoted to your every whim

Rapture fills my empty being

Fire burns within my soul

Scorching, Revealing
