Friends till the end, forever, they cried
On the battlefield, beaten, tis when they died

Now locked together, by their own man-made chains
Only problem about them, was neither had a brain

You’d think by now, they would know how to break
The bindings around them, how much could it take?

But emotions ran high, and soon they did fight
Yelling at each other, all day and all night

When one would go left, the other went right
Things got so nasty, the neighbors took flight

Then the Devil himself, called them to him
Demanded they behave, and then, on a whim

He decided the two, must forever stay
The way they came to him, on that fateful day

And he went a step further, making sure he was clear
No more arguing nor fighting, or they’d disappear

But that wasn’t the only thing that made them cranky
He named one of them Clinky, and the other one, Clanky

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2018, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this two years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day!  See you tomorrow  ❤

Abhorrent Apparition – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #doublereverseetheree

A vision appears in the dark of night

Rather gnome like or perhaps ogre

Simply floating about, blocking

What lies ahead of me, still

I ignore, best I can

This apparition

It plays games

Abhorrent

Loathsome

Thing

It

Tries me

Go away

You quite bore me

And I know better

I remain here, watching

It dissipates in the air

Swirling about, creative mist

A cloud of smoke no longer inhaled

But exhaled, letting it escape my soul

I wasn’t able to participate in Sue’s #writephoto – Glimmer – last week, but the picture was too beautiful to pass up.  Better late than never!  🙂


Tis but a glimmer

Of light that shines below me

Ah but the night calls

In a glowing masterpiece

Painted by the setting sun

The Cobweb Cloaked Coven – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

Where what appears, as a mere cobweb

Actually has something, well hidden

A coven of witches, hold court inside

Sorry, mundane, you’re forbidden

Only the powerful may pass the door

A simple spell will never make it

You must study with the master witch

Trust me, you’ll never be able to fake it

For these witches know the ones so true

They can feel the vibrance, profound

Stay back, if you know what’s good for you

Or in their web, you are sure to be bound
