THE CRIMSON REFLECTION

 


Source:travel-story

The sky dips into its bag of tricks

to bring forth a full moon,

as its crimson reflection

mars the ocean’s smooth surface.

From the water’s murky depths,

dark creatures rise this night.

Onto our crisp white shores, they walk,

leaving bloody footprints in the sand,

painting our town crimson,

beneath the blood-red moon.

TOUCH THE RAINBOW

Red Path

briannadamra.tumblr.com

I take the winding path shaded in red,

instead of hiding in my comfy bed.

The road widens and narrows its scope

as it weaves away from any hope.

Blood red threatens the night sky

as laughter follows me high.

Rivers of crimson red coat my aching feet

as I walk the road of shame and defeat.

“Is it too late to take the high road?

I ask if I may be so bold.

I run toward the rainbow in my mind

in the colors and hues I hope to find.

A COLD WITCHES’ BREW

 

A paradise is now lost and gone,

never to be found again.

Whomever the demons come upon,

no more peace but only pain.

Like a cold witches’ brew,

an Oasis for all.

Now a hell for the few

who remain to tell all.

THE CRIMSON REFLECTION

THE CRIMSON REFLECTION

The sky’s crimson reflection
mars the ocean’s blue surface.
As the sun sets for the night,
it hides behind the darkening clouds.
The sky dips into its bag of tricks
to bring forth a yellowed moon.
As the sky becomes inky black,
the water flows blood red.
From the murky depths,
dark creatures rise this night.
Onto our crisp white shores, they walk,
leaving bloody footprints in the sand.

BLOOD RED

Blood red rose.
Petals open to the sun.
Don’t shy away from me.
Don’t turn your face.
I’m here to receive your love.
Your compassion.
Your petals are closing.
Dew is dripping,
And I am leaving.

TOUCH THE RAINBOW




TOUCH THE RAINBOW

I take the winding path shaded in red
instead of hiding in my comfy bed.

The road widens and narrows its scope
as it weaves away from any hope.

Blood red threatens the night sky
as laughter follows me high.

Rivers of crimson red coat my tired feet
as I walk the road of shame and defeat.

Why cannot life take the high road?
I ask if I may be so bold.

Ahead I see a bright light
as I rise with all my might.

I run toward the rainbow in my mind
in the colors and hues, I hope to find.

SHADES OF RED


colorful gradient 32289

Shades of red fall from the sky,
They hit the ground in puddles of crimson.
Red falls from the darkening sky.
It covers the grass with its bright hue.
My face burns hot from its touch
as blood pumps faster through my heart.
The creatures track my desperate retreat
through the deserted woods.
I will be one with them all too soon.

IN THE NIGHT


by ehsan-safavie 

He comes in the night,
Ready for the fight.
He’ll slay us alive.
No one will survive.
His eyes burn blood red,
Gleaming in his head.
He leads The Dead right to me.
I won’t go on bended knee.
The creatures will be here.
Their footsteps are too near.
I bow my head to pray.
Let us live one more day.

Blood red rose.
Petals open.
To the sun.
Don’t shy away from me.
Don’t turn your face.
I’ve come to receive your love.
Your compassion.
Your petals are closing.
Dew is dripping.
And I am leaving.

DREAM ON


DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
Dream a little dream.
An orange sun
Setting over the ocean.
A jagged cliff
Showcasing a lighthouse.
A light casting its glow,
While waiting for a ship.
Waves lapping at the rocks,
Trying to climb the steep fortress.
Clouds...

Dream a little dream.
An orange sun
Setting over the ocean.
A jagged cliff
Showcasing a lighthouse.
A light casting its glow,
While waiting for a ship.
Waves lapping at the rocks,
Trying to climb the steep fortress.
Clouds rolling in over the mountain,
Attempting to hide the light.
The red ball slowly falling,
Losing some of its fire.
A ship appearing in the distance,
Seeking the lone light.
The light blinking in sequence, 
A lighthouse’s signal.
Dream on.

BLOOD RED



BLOOD RED
The wavering reflections of the red sky
mar the blue surface of the ocean.
The sun sets for the night,
hiding its face behind puffy clouds.
The sky reaches into its bag of tricks,
bringing out a yellow moon.
The water remains blood red
as the sky turns inky black.
A reflection from its depths
of the evil creatures rising.
Onto our crisp white shores they walk,
Leaving bloody footprints in the sand.
