THE OTHER SIDE

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?

THE DEAD GAME

DOOR TO NOWHERE

Some days you want to escape.

To a place far away.

Meet new people.

Leave old baggage behind.

Open the proverbial door.

See if the grass is greener.

On the other side.

Most of the time it isn’t.

A door balanced at the edge of a pier.

It might not be holding any answers.

Home might have had the answers all along. 

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

darkmorbid:

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

A house standing
in the middle of the woods.
Where did it come from?
It’s flat,
one dimensional.
I can see the trees
through the front door.
How unusual.
What will happen
if I walk through the door?
Will there be more dimensions?
Will I be entering a new world?
My imagination is much too active.
I’m always imagining weird things.
This time,
I will follow through with my daydream.
I will walk through this door.
I will find out what is on the other side.
Here goes.
Now I’m standing in darkness.
Where are the trees?
The sunlight?
I hear creaky noises.
They’re coming closer.
Oh no.

To be continued tomorrow.

THE OTHER SIDE WAITS FOR YOU

The other side waits for you.
And only you.
No one else will do.
You can run.
But you can’t hide.
It will follow you
until you accept
the inevitable.
Look at your reflection.
See it wither and fade away.
You will be gone.
From this world.
And stuck in the next.
What will you find there?
It’s a surprise.
Aren’t surprises supposed
to be good?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

DOOR TO NOWHERE

Some days you want to escape
to a place far away.
Meet new people,
Leave old baggage behind.
Open the proverbial door
to see if the grass is greener
on the other side.
But most of the time it isn’t.
A door balanced at the edge of a pier
might not be holding the answers to your dreams.
Home may be the place that has had the answers all along. 

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Step through the doorway.
What will you find?
Will you find a better world?
A world full of fantasies.
A world of colors.
What do you want to find?
It’s all within your reach,
as close as your imagination.

CURIOSITY KILLS MORE THAN THE CAT

What’s on the other side?
Strange sounds are emanating
from the thick blanket of trees.
You can only see darkness and
the slight rustling of leaves.
You know you want to cross the bridge.
So you begin the shaky walk across.
The bridge sways with each footstep.
Should you continue?
You hesitate but you move forward
step by halting step.
You reach the other side.
There’s a loud crashing sound behind you.
You quickly turn to see the bridge
falling into the water below.
Now you are on the other side looking back.
You know you want to go back.
But it’s too late.
Human nature might have dictated your wants
but the bridge has dictated your reality.

NO CLOSED DOORS FOR ME

A closed door just tempts
me to open it.
I’m always curious to see
what’s on the other side.
Close a door on me and
I’ll try to open it.
Now that’s clear to everyone,
please open that door.
