The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Peering cautiously, into the maze
The wall, ahead, halts my quizzical gaze

A choice to make, which way to follow
Nothing to guide, the path is hollow

Shall I go left, or better to go right?
I must decide, and allay this fright

Of losing myself, inside this place
Yelling for help, would be a disgrace

I must show myself, I am able to cope
Find my way out, never giving up hope

No matter the path, I know I’ll survive
I just need to make out of here, alive

But first, I need to find my center
Before this circuitous maze, I enter

Tis then I can follow, this uncharted course
Head into the unknown, with no remorse

To make it through, no haste, nor hurry
And leave that pesky thing, called worry

At the beginning, where it all began
Without foresight, nor map, nor plan

And while these walls may confound
Finding my way, will be quite profound

Filled, with intimate thoughts of you

My mind wanders, in the most delicious ways

I’m smitten, with all the things you do

Not just on Valentine’s, but each and every day!

(Heavy Breathing)

My dearest Padawan, I have something, just for you

The droids reminded me, to give you something blue

Oh yes, and something red, although, I prefer all black

The elevator’s calling us, let’s move in, toward the back

No one else will follow us, trust me, this is true

But should they get too close, they’re easy to subdue

We can be together, all alone, in this elevator

You can be my chosen one, and I can be your Vader

(Snickering laugh)
(Back to heavy breathing)

Take these flowers, please, they’re making me wheeze!

 

A little levity on this day of passion and love!  😉  This was my original poem for ~M’s challenge.  Then I just made it silly lol  ❤

The Fog ~ #poetry #spirits

#poetry, cloudy, dorindaduclos.com, fog, mist, mourn, Night Owl Poetry, Paul Militaru, Photography, poems, spirits, unearthly, writing


Mystery shrouds, in a misty dawn

Spirits converge, on clouded morn

Gathering, while the city sleeps

About the landscape, silently creep

As not to awaken the human race

Whose shadows linger in this place

For while they dream, of tomorrow

Others mourn, in unearthly sorrow

Until the fog lifts, and the air, clear

They’ll live in a silent, funereal drear
