THE MIND’S EYE

The mind’s eye.

Portals to our souls.

Our words can hide our lies,

but our eyes can’t.

NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This is not the yellow brick road

leading to fantasies.

This is the road

determined by your choices.

You must chart its course

and deal with the twists and turns.

A ride of a lifetime

to be dealt with wisely.

NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This is not the yellow brick road

that will lead you to fantasies.

This is the road of reality

that is determined by your choices.

Its course is charted by you.

Take care of the twists and turns.

It’s a ride of a lifetime.

BENEATH THE CITY

(Source: roybrandys)

BENEATH THE CITY

Take me down the road.

All the way down.

Beneath the city.

To what lies below.

To the deepest depths.

Where no one dares to tread.

This is reality.

This is the city.

THE QUESTION

What is reality?

Do we see what is

actually around us?

Or is there a another reality?

A reality that we can’t see;

that we aren’t ready to see yet.

Will it ever come into focus?

Into a clarity that will reveal all.

The reason for our existence.

The reason for the world

as we know it.

Look closer.

Peer through the murkiness.

Find your own reality.

CAN YOU SEE?

Lights flickering non-stop.

Cries filling the air.

Darkness revealing the truth.

Not seen in the light of day.

A NIGHTMARE BECOMES HELL

Source:vwcampervan-aldridge

Lost in a field of daisies.

Falling between the stalks.

Covered by their leaves.

Pulled down by their roots.

Darkness succumbs me.

Dirt envelopes me.

Illusion becomes reality.

A nightmare becomes hell.

No way out for me.

Only daisies and more daisies.

THE DEAD love their games.

OUR GAMES HAVE JUST BEGUN --- THE DEAD GAME --- PART 20

What is reality?
And what is fantasy?
Should I run to the cold
Or go to the heat?
I shouldn't have left the party.

Wolf stands under a tree.
His gaze leaves frosty trail-marks
On Linda's shivering body.
The cold air holds her in its thrall.

"Come to me."
Wolf walks forward,
Bringing cold summer nights with him,
Promises of snow-swept sunrises.
He stands frozen in place.

Her shoes dig into the icy cold grass,
Taking her closer to her destiny.
She can't fight it any longer.
She has to give in to the night.

Wolf takes her into his arms.
"You are now mine,
My ice princess."
His lips crush hers in a bruising kiss.

Hot flames burst around her.
Freezing rain washes them away.
Hot and cold feelings overwhelm her.
Each fighting for domination.

Am I ready for this?
Ready for the cold and the night?
Wolf's black eyes lock into hers,
Assuring her,
Drawing her closer to him.

A snapped twig is followed by hot breath.
The ice melts off her.
Her heart pumps blood to her cold limbs.
She moves away from Wolf.

Todd's arms envelope her with their warmth.
They encircle her with feelings of love.
"This is right.
This is my destiny."
She smiles.

Wolf's eyes turn hard and unrelenting.
He backs away from her.
"This battle is not finished"
Are his last words
Before he disappears into the night.

THE DEAD GAME

THE REAL YOU

THE REAL YOU

What do you see?
Do you see the real you?
It can be scary at times.

A PEEK

A PEEK

A peek into a window.
Just one peek through the glass.
Imagine what you could see.
What you could witness.
A glimpse of life.
A family.
Warmth, passion, love.
Coldness, hate, fights.
The reality of life.


 

THE QUESTION

What is reality?
Do we see what is
actually around us?
Or is there a another reality?
A reality that we can’t see;
that we aren’t ready to see yet.
Will it ever come into focus?
Into a clarity that will reveal all.
The reason for our existence.
The reason for the world
as we know it.
Look closer.
Peer through the murkiness.
Find your own reality.

FREE FALL THROUGH SPACE

What does it feel like?
To free fall
through the air.
To let yourself go
to the feeling.
To step back and fall.
Nothing but air
until you hit the water.
To believe in yourself.
To believe in the water
to cushion your fall.
Total freedom.
An escape from life.
An escape from reality.
What does it feel like?
I’ll let you know
after I hit the water.

FACE VALUE

Look deeper.
Delve deeper inside.
Face value is worthless.
A face doesn’t reflect the truth.
It doesn’t reveal the true person.
You might like what you find
or you might not.

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.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Look into my eyes.
What do you see?
Do you see a reflection
of yourself?
Do you see what I see
when I look at you?
Do you like what you see?
If not, then there’s still time
to change.
To become a better person.
What do other people see
when they look at you?

LIFE ON EARTH

Was there life on earth before us?
Will there be life after we’re gone?
Who is running the show?
Is there a boss behind it all?
If there is, then he or she is
keeping his secrets very close.
No one has figured it out yet.
Maybe we never will.

THIS IS NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This is not the famous Yellow Brick Road
that will lead you to fantasies.
This is the road of reality
that will lead you to your future.
This road is determined by your life choices.
It is created by you and for you.
Do you still want to travel this road?
Be careful of its twists and turns.
It’s a ride of a lifetime.

HAPPINESS IS A 5 STAR REVIEW OF THE DEAD GAME

A GREAT REVIEW THAT MADE MY DAY BRIGHTER!

 

 

 

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining & suspenseful with good character development, July 23, 2014

By 

Marcha Fox "SF Author" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Dead Game (Kindle Edition)

By the time you finish this suspenseful tale you feel as if you know the streets of the resort town called Oasis as well as all the people who live there. The one thing you don’t know, however, is who is what they claim to be and who’s not, whether they are good or bad, and what will happen next. There is an excellent mix of reality and paranormal which lends more credibility to the story. It gives you a lot to think about, particularly if you live by an old, seemingly abandoned house with a spooky reputation. If you enjoy moderately scary stories populated with a variety of characters you will enjoy this book. I particularly liked Mike’s sarcastic remarks which had me laughing out loud more than once.

 

 

PERCEPTION

Does the doorway lead to what you see
or what you want to see?
You might be seeing trees and flowers
but darkness and clouds might be
waiting for you.
It’s all in your perception.
