INTO THE WOODS

 INTO THE WOODS

Source:oxxxxxb


Into the woods, I flee,

Yearning to be set free.

I don’t know which way to go.

I turn around, to and fro.

A light shines between the trees.

I peek between the thick leaves.

No one is along the path.

I can do the simple math.

It’s him against me.

I’ll never be free.

REST FOR THE WEARY

 



The morning sun peeks through

the canopy of trees.

The blanket of color

covers me with its leaves.

I’m sheltered with

soft petals of pink,

like velvet sheets

splattered with pink ink.

I give a contented sigh

as my eyes soon grow teary.

A bed among the petals

offers rest for the weary.

LOST IN THE FULL MOON


Source:travel-story

A beautiful fall day.

A pebbled path through the red.

I’ve come outside to play.

Fantasies flow through my head.

The leaves glitter red

Until the day turns dark.

I’m safe in my bed,

A red swirl in the park.

Rain pelts the park.

The wind cackles.

I flee in the dark

On raised hackles.

The path is gone.

Night has come too soon.

The path is gone,

Lost in the full moon.

WALK WITH ME IN THE MOONLIGHT


Walk with me through the moonlit forest.

Let our feet graze the tips of the grass,

held aloft by our love and passion.

Follow me through the endless night

to a land where no man walks,

and love has no bounds or shackles.

BENEATH THE TREE

Beneath the tree

The tree appears dark and looming.
It could use some proper grooming.

I want to take a walk between its legs,
growing tall from the ground like giant pegs.

By its rules, we must strictly abide.
Imagine the secrets it must hide.

Come walk with me in its dark shade.
Through the fallen leaves we will wade.

A canopy of leaves above our heads
As we fall asleep in our leafy beds.

A BODY IN THE NIGHT

Florida weaves its magic spell
as the town sleeps.
The moon peeks between the clouds
to the dark water lapping at the shore.
A rustle sounds in the trees,
followed by a cry in the night.
A hint of evil.
A whisper of things to come.
A body left onshore.
Will there be more?
Another night in Oasis, Florida.

WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
The trees of the forest shiver and shake,
their long limbs trembling for the next quake.
Their bodies blaze a glaring white
with tears frozen from their new plight. 
The world has become hard and cold.
My trembling body feels old.
Surrounded on four sides by white, 
the bright glare has blinded my sight.
White is the color of my nightgown
as I stand and shiver with a frown.
A shadow emerges from the trees.
I hope it is not him, pretty please.
My body moves forward against my will.
I grab a thick tree and try to hold still.
I dig my feet into the packed snow,
but I must go where the wind might blow.

RED LACE




RED LACE
I will lay down my head to sleep
Beneath a canopy so deep.
Soft leaves curl around my face,
Covering me in red lace.
Sticks of trees protect my sides.
Perfect place for one who hides.
The sun peeks in between the red,
The rays of sunshine warm my head.

THE LIGHT



Take me to the bright light that shimmers
in the far reaches of the forest.
I lay my head on a thick bed of grass.
A blanket of flowers for my cover.
Sleeps takes me away from here
to a place where there’s no fear.
I fly above the branches
and gaze at my sleeping form.
Contentment relaxes my face.
My eyelids flicker in my dream.
Too soon it will be night,
bringing the dark and cold.
I must return tomorrow
to see how my dream unfolds.

RED SUNSET


Cape Cod July 2013_-60 (by jackfrench)


Sunset brings shadows with the night.
Birds of prey take off in dark flight.
Hues of red fill the night air.
High-pitched howls sound too near. 
Residents hide behind locked doors.
Is that blood seeping through the floors?
The forest rumbles with song and laughter.
Night parties filled to every rafter.
Limousines line the path to the glass house
Glass statues watch them, quiet as a mouse.
Dancing halts at the strike of midnight,
Twirling figures freeze in the moonlight.

COLORS

digitalfrontiers

Forest so lush green.
A sight to be seen.
Colors to brighten life
without a bit of strife.
This is the place for me,
where I can be free.
Pink and yellow flowers fill the day.
Nowhere prettier I want to stay.

PRELUDE TO BOOK II – THE DEAD GAME SERIES


house in woods


Has End House returned to Oasis?
Our chanting had cast it to sea.
 
It can’t be back.
 
We can’t be under attack.

Silence fills the forest.
A cold breeze tickles my arms.
I follow the path through
a thick copse of trees.

The sky darkens.
A shadow looms in the distance.
I enter the clearing.
Seagulls cry and swoop low.

I halt by a deep hole.
The spot where End House had stood.
A hard shove
And I’m falling.

Laughter follows my descent.
I hit rock bottom. 
A tunnel stretches before me.
Light at its end.

THE DEAD GAME CONTINUES
PRELUDE TO BOOK II
