TRAPPED


Source:


Trapped inside me
with my insecurities.
Afraid to break free
and try new things.
Can I become a different person?
It will be painful.
I will break the glass walls.
I can do it.
I will do it.
Goodbye to doubters.
Hello to new me.

THE DEAD WALKING


1 The tides

A town where the snow is black,
bringing coldness and fear.
Old remnants of tears held back,
and times too hard to bear.
Woven from black sheets of rain,
fear covers in disarray.
Anguished and frozen with pain,
dark petals fall in dismay.
Hell has come to Oasis,
The Dead and gone at its side.
Now hidden behind faces
that are well-known far and wide.
Who will fall prey to The Dead?
I hope it is not me.
I’m hiding under my bed.
I’m afraid as I can be.

THE OTHER SIDE


Doorway in Forest
THE OTHER SIDE
What’s on the other side?
Don’t be afraid or hide.
What will you see?
Will you be free?
Color replaces black.
But watch your friend’s back.
Night creatures out for fun.
In the Florida sun.
Mansions to explore.
Parties and much more.
One step at a time.
And follow this rhyme.
And soon you will be there.
Who knew it was so near?

DARK HOUSE


phoenix-in-ashes:

DARK HOUSE

Enticing.
Dark.
Deserted.
Dusty.
Eerie.
So many words
to describe the house.
Afraid.
Alone.
Reluctant.
Uneasy.
Too many words to describe
how I feel inside this house.
I will take it step by step.
One creaky step
followed by another.
Until I make it to the top.
What will I find there?
Creak, creak.
We will find out together.
Creak, creak.
Those weren’t my creaks.
I’m not alone in the house.
I’m leaving.
Bye.

WHERE THE DEAD GO



Tell me a story.
A scary story.
Worthy of a wolf.
I want to be frightened.
I want to hear of blood & gore.
I want to hear of dead bodies.
What did you say?
The Dead?
Yes, I would like to hear of The Dead.
Are they deadly?
They play deadly games, you say?
I’m ready.
Where must I go?
To Oasis, Florida?
So that’s where The Dead go.
I’m off.

HELP!



Source:imgfave-chat

I’m being followed.
Through the woods.
Past the haunted house.
And into town.
Help me!
I hear them.
But can’t see them.
Quiet as the night.
Silence is their prayer.
Meow!

ON MY SHELF





Who sits on my shelf
each and every night?
Who casts long shadows
on my shelf and wall?
Not there at day
but only at night.
I move closer.
I must see what it is.
A hooded figure,
its face lifting to me.
The hood falls back
to a face as dark as night.
Eyes shine red,
burning a hole right through me.

WILL CURIOSITY BE THE DEATH OF YOU?

The door.
The fear of not knowing.
The fear of knowing.
What to do?
Open and step inside.
You might be happy.
Or you might be dead.
But you’ll never know
until you open that door.

DARK SKIES





Source:imgfave-chat-hero


Dark skies are moving in.
The town is dark as sin.
Rumbling fills the humid air.
And The Dead will soon be here.
Hail begins to fall.
Big as a baseball.
Lightning joins the hot fray.
I’m not going to stay.
We must escape this night.
Before we lose the fight.
Wolf has come for me.
I’m as afraid as I can be.

WINTER BLUES




The landscape is cold and bleak.
I’m beginning to feel weak.
Ice is melting in my shoes.
I’m getting the winter blues.
I can’t find my way out of here.
I had thought the town was so near.
I’ve been walking for days.
I’m in some kind of daze.
There’s a break in the rocks ahead.
I hope they didn’t leave me for dead.
My friends have to come back for me.
Rocks and trees are all I can see.
My friends are in the park playing ball.
I didn’t have to be afraid at all.

OPEN THE DOOR


An open door invites.<br /> An open door beckons to visitors.<br /> Who can resist an open door?<br /> Who doesn’t want to take a peek inside?<br /> What treasures might be hidden on the other side?<br /> Or what evil might be lying in wait for us?<br /> Open the door and find out.<br /> I know you want to.

An open door invites.
An open door beckons.
Who can resist it?
Who doesn’t want to take a peek?
What treasures might be hidden on the other side?
Or what evil might be lying in wait for us?
Open the door and find out.
I know you want to.

IN THE DARKNESS



IN THE DARKNESS


The woods of Oasis are too quiet.

I should have stayed in the nearest Hyatt.

Now I’m here alone in this park

When I’m so afraid of the dark.

A party invitation indeed.

I shouldn’t have paid it any heed.

Could be a witches’ coven or vampire lair.

I can feel cold fingers pulling on my hair.

I must escape from these creatures fast

Before I become a thing of the past.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS PART III

adorable


“Oh, hello little animals.
Are you getting married today?”
No answer.
More bells.
One of the animals winks at me,
and then they both fly away.
I’m alone again.
All quiet,
except for those
annoying wedding bells.
The ground begins to shake.
Snow falls off the branches.
I look down and see a hole.


abyss


Is that for me?
I feel a hard push,
and then I’m falling.
Falling down this dark abyss.
What’s at the bottom?
Will I make it to the bottom?
Will I live to tell the tale?

Continued tomorrow.

THE HOUSE

phoenix-in-ashes:
THE HOUSE

Enticing.
Dark.
Deserted.
Dusty.
Eerie.
So many words
to describe the house
and the winding staircase.
Afraid.
Alone.
Reluctant.
Uneasy.
Words to describe
how I feel inside
as I enter this house.
I will take it step by step.
One creaky step
followed by another.
Until I make it to the top.
What will I find there?
Creak, creak.
We will find out together.
Creak, creak.
Those weren’t my creaks.
I’m not alone in the house.
I’m leaving.
Bye.
