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.

THE DEAD GAME 

LIGHTNING STRIKES

In deep and soothing sleep,

I did not hear one peep.

Then lightning lit the sky

with thunder turned high.

Winds uprooted the trees,

bringing them to their knees.

What has happened to the town?

The waves have turned a dark brown.

Shadows creep from the shore.

I can’t handle much more.

FINGERS FROM HEAVEN

Source:relatlonship

Fingers from heaven

Reach for the shore.

Shafts of light

Light the darkening sky.

The clouds move closer.

The rains fall.

The winds follow.

The end is in sight.

THE LAST ONE

I search the night.

A lovely sight.

My wings are spread.

Don’t go to bed.

I see you scurry.

Don’t need to worry.

My talons reach for thee.

In the sky, you’ll soon be.

We’ll soar to my nest.

I will love you best.

I will be the last one you’ll see

before your eyes close for me.

THE PERFECT MELODY

The air feels heavy,

laden with moisture.

Grey clouds hover

in the darkening sky.

The first raindrops arrive,

pounding on the rooftops

in a staccato melody of their own.

Pound, pound, pound.

Tap, tap, tap.

Rain washes our streets

and clears our minds,

preparing us for a new day.

THE NIGHT

Source:farewell

Wait for the night

to darken the sky

in deep shades of red

to purple fading to black.

Silence follows on gossamer wings

to quiet uneasy heartbeats,

to soothe the roaming beasts.

Wait for the night

to bring a dark veil on activities,

to unfurl the roaring waves.

Silence is here

and so is the night.

DARK AS SIN

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.

He has come for me.

I’m as afraid as I can be.

THE DEAD GAME

SHADES OF RED

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.

TWILIGHT

The setting sun brings an end to

a day of rainbows and soft wishes.

The moon waits

in the wings for its turn.

The twinkling stars hover nearby,

ready to follow its leader into the darkness.

The sky lowers its head in acceptance of the daily switch,

torn between the two heavenly delights.

THEY’RE HERE TO STAY

Look at the pretty sky.
Such beauty way up high.
Clouds drifting by so slowly
Like a shrine to what’s holy.

All of this will soon come to an end.
Don’t bother to search for a friend.
The moon will rise up in the night sky
Into the danger from what lurks high.

Dark shadows will descend onto the sand.
Shrieking louder than a marching band.
What do they want from our peaceful town?
Death and mayhem–all served with a frown.

Run for your life if you still can.
A danger for each and every man.
The Dead are here to stay.
They didn’t come to play.

THE WAVES

Golden Hour by willyam http://ift.tt/2aItg9O

THE WAVES

Lined up like sentries.

Shoulder to shoulder.

Eying the shore.

Storm at their backs.

Wind at their sides.

Sun setting above.

Sea ripples below.

Sky darkens.

Clouds rush in.

Birds flee.

Skies open up.

Water rains down.

Quiet reigns supreme.

They quicken their tempo.

Winds pick up their speed.

They hit the sand with force.

A line of soldiers.

Shoulder to shoulder.

As one.

ENERGY OF LIGHT

ENERGY OF LIGHT

Light the night sky with your energy.

Waves of light to shock our senses.

Sizzling sounds to move our souls.

Darkness yearns to blacken the sky.

But the streaks of light persevere.

The moon lifts its face with a grin.

Thunder will be riding soon on its horse.

Mother Nature never misses a beat.

The light forewarns us of the coming storm.

THE DEAD BY THE SEA

THE DEAD BY THE SEA

Come with me to the pool by the sea. 
Oasis is the best place to be.
Relax by the pool or sit by the bar.
Tourists visit this place from near and far.

I think I’ll take a dip in the pool.
I am definitely not a fool.
I’d never pass up a chance for fun
Or a tan in the Florida sun.

Wait! Come and look over here.
I found a book on the chair.
The small town is a beautiful place.
I see the stunned look on your face.

Oasis Hotel resembles this one.
But it isn’t always fun in the sun.
It is a haven for The Dead.
Is the heat going to your head?

The sky is turning cloudy and dark.
I can see shadows over the park.
What’s that standing behind you?
It’s not one shadow but two.

More shadows are coming ashore.
I’m not going to wait for more.
Our destiny seems to be in this book.
I’m leaving now without a second look.
