A PERFECT PARADISE

 

A PERFECT PARADISE

Drop your defenses.
Relax your mind and body.
Can you see the garden?
The steps leading up the path?
Climb the steps.
Feel the summer breeze.
Hear the happy chirping of the birds.
Smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers.
Move slowly.
Follow the mood.
The serene scenery.
Climb step by step.
The steps will soon lead you
to a green paradise.
Where hummingbirds flutter past.
Super tall flowers reach high to the sky.
Rabbits scurry between the berry bushes.
How perfect.
How peaceful.
A perfect paradise
for a summer day.

A MONUMENT

mountain-sadist:

 
A Monument

Rushing water.
Striking the shore.
Creating art of its own.
A monument for all eternity.
Forever more.

THE ROAD TAKEN

THE ROAD TAKEN

The road can feel endless.
Never-ending.
Following twists and turns.
Over mountains.
Down valleys.
On its quest.
To reach the end.
It can be hard to follow.
Using up your strength.
Taking away your breath.
But soldier on.
The end will be worth it.

A TREE

 

A TREE

A tree.
A symbol of hope.
Standing for freedom.
Withstanding the storms.
Arms raised to the sky.
Forever more.

Stand with me.
Give me courage.
To hold my head up high.
Solid as your roots.
Forever more.

Stay with me.
As time goes by.
Alone I stand.
No friends nearby.
Forever more.

THE DEAD GAME

Come and visit Oasis, Florida.
The perfect portrait of paradise.
With warm tropical breezes.
White-sand beaches.
Friendly residents.

At least, some are friendly.
Not the ones who roam the streets at night.
Who leave behind dead bodies on the beach.

Come and sun on the beaches.
But beware once the sun hides its face.
For the moon won't protect you.
From the evil at night.

GREEN LIGHT

THE LIGHT IS GREEN

The light is green.

Take a road trip.
To nowhere.
To everywhere.
Leave it all behind.
Open your mind.
Open your heart.
To the possibilities.
To new places.
To new people.
Leave it all behind.
The light is green.
Go for it.

THE EVIL INSIDE

THE EVIL INSIDE

Can you feel the evil?
Spreading through town.
Moving through the trees.
Entering through open windows.
Spreading.
Enveloping us all.
It comes at night.
Into our beds.
Seeking the innocents.
Ones to join them.
In their deadly adventures.
Do not join them.
Stand strong.
Don’t let the evil enter.
Once it’s inside,
it won’t leave.
Until all are dead.

DANCE FOR ME

DANCE FOR ME

Elevate your body through the air.
Lift up your fins.
Your pointy face to the sky.
Dance for me.

Let the water flow down.
Back into the ocean.
But keep yourself high above all else.
Dance for me.

Give me your wicked smile.
A little laugh.
Show me your endless joy.
Dance for me.

I want to see your special dance.
A clap or two.
A little twist for me.
Dance for me.

WALK IN SHADOW

undying-orchid:

Row of Trees (1915) by Jan Mankes (Dutch, 1889—1920).

WALK IN SHADOW

Who waits in the dark?
Stalking its victims.
Blending with the night.
Walking in shadow.
Lighter than air.
One with the mist.
Never seen.
Never caught.
Leaving death behind.
Traces of evil.
Evil wrought on the town.
Who are you?
Come out in the light.
I know you can’t.
I know what you are.
Creature of the night.
Come to me.
And your time on earth will end.
For I protect the town.
I protect the innocent.
Come out of the shadows.
And face me.
All will know who you are.
The leader of The Dead.
Your time is at end.

RISE FOR ME

hueandeyephotography:
 

 

RISE FOR ME

Will the sun rise today?
Colors of yellow and red.
Glowing inside to its own beat.
Shimmering with heat.
Ready to begin a new day.

Will you rise today?
Bringing light to the dismal world.
Breaking into the darkness.
Shattering the bleakness.
With your bright rays.

Will you rise today for me?
Please do.
For I need you.
I need your light.
Your soul.
Your heavenly body.
Please rise for me today.

HELP ME

HELP ME

I’m trapped in the house.
The house at the edge of the forest.
A forest of darkness and nightmares.
Why did I attend this party?
An invitation to a night of games.
Games played to the death.
By those who are already dead.
Revolving rooms.
Cages descending from the ceiling.
Blood.
Bones.
No more.
I must get out.
THE DEAD can’t win this time.
We must fight for our lives.

DEAR STATUE

DEAR STATUE

So alive.
I could hear you breathing.
Is that a moan?
Maybe it was the wind.
Is that a rustle of clothing?
Maybe someone else is in the garden.
Is that a sigh?
I heard a sigh.
Are you tired of standing still?
Is that a tear on your cheek?
Your eyes look sad.
Reflecting a remorse so deep
that I can feel it.
What else do I feel?
A whisper of breath on my face.
Are you breathing, dear one?
Are you alive beneath the stone?
Raise your head.
Look me in the eye.
It’s time to be free.
Let your soul be free
and soar above on your wings.
Take flight, dear one.
Take flight.

TAKE ME AWAY

TAKE ME AWAY

The beauty.
The majesty.
The brutal force.
So easy to get lost in.
To float away.
To the sound of rushing water.
Endless water.
Flowing past rocks.
Trees.
Grass.
No end in sight.
Turning into streams.
Rivers.
Lakes.
Take me away.
On your wings.
On your flight
past the mundane.
To the beauty of tomorrow.

THE DEER

THE DEER

I was someone.
I was important.
I had a family.
Friends.
Life was good.
Full of joy.
Adventures.
Until the poachers.
Now I wait here.
Why did this happen?
Why?

WE ARE WOLVES

WE ARE WOLVES

We are wolves.
We are one.
We stay together.
Watch each others’ backs.
Hunt together.
Play together.
We are one.
Stay away.
Stay clear.
And stay alive.

Some days cruel.
Bringing sorrow and tears.
Bringing you down to you knees.

Refuse to face another day.
Until the rainbow.
Until you by chance look up.
Lift your head ever so slightly.
And see the rainbow.
Will times change?
Will life be better?
Face the rainbow.
Let it lift your spirits up high.
