LOST

 

Night turns into day,

Day turns into night.

I feel myself sway,

As I hold onto the light.

The night numbs me,

Frighteningly cold.

The days rush by

As I grow old.

I prefer the day

When the sun shines.

The night can be fey,

Dark streaking the pines.

Night turns into day.

Day turns into night.

Days become gray,

I have no more

strength to fight.

UNSTOPPABLE

I reach for it.

I clench my fist.

I can’t grasp it.

It flows through my fingers.

It can’t be stopped.

I drop my hand,

and bow my head to it.

THE FIGHT

THE FIGHT

Night into day.

Day into night.

I’m swept away

As I hold tight.

The night numbs me,

Making me cold.

The days rush by

As I grow old.

I prefer day

When the sun shines.

The night is fey,

Dark through the pines.

Night into day.

Day into night.

Days become grey,

No strength to fight.

THE LIGHT OR THE DARK

This is life.

The choice set before us.

The sun or the dark of night.

Optimism or pessimism.

Good or evil.

The darkness taunts us.

It’s too easy to succumb to it.

Fight the greedy devil.

The choice is yours to make.

MY THOUGHTS DRIFT

My thoughts drift to him.

He fills me with longing,

Cold as the night air.

He roams free in the dark,

But yet he returns for me.

I dare not meet him

In the forest at midnight.

I must hold firm

And not venture into the woods

To rekindle his dark flame.

I must stand strong

Or my light will turn dark.

THE DEAD GAME SERIES

THE LIGHT

woodendreams

(by Derek Kind)

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.

FLEETING

A puff of smoke.

A flicker of light.

Life is sweet.

It is memorable.

It can be fleeting.

Gone in a puff of smoke.

Don’t close your eyes.

Keep them wide open.

Dangers lurk everywhere.

Poof!

A life is gone.

Is it yours?

Only THE DEAD

have the power.

Only THE DEAD

hold the cure.

Only THE DEAD

know who’s next.

THE DEAD GAME

FLAME

Quiver.

Flicker.

Shoot sparks.

Tremble.

Falter.

But always

Give light.

BURN

Source:boy-so-pale

It lights quick.

It burns fast.

I’m left alone in its wake

with the burnt ashes of my heart.

SEND ME THE SUN

Amazing Grace by Phil Koch

Shine upon us.

Warm our leafy bodies.

Light our faces.

Brighten our days.

Each day we wait for you.

YOUR HEAT

Source:imkindof

I wait for you each night.

Your sparkling glow.

Your everlasting heat.

The night bows to you.

The stars gather round.

Man worships you.

Take me inside.

A TWO-FACED WONDER

A TWO-FACED WONDER

Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.
Bright in the sunshine.
Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

AN ELECTRIC STORM

Let’s scale the heights.

Be careful of the crevices.

The deep valleys.

The empty holes.

Climb the next ridge.

Enter through an opening.

Small as a fly.

Hear the blood pound.

The synapses sizzle and pop.

Journey through the darkness.

Through the unknown.

Exhilarating as an electric storm.

Colorful as a fireworks display.

A ride through space and time.
