I AM FREE

 

mistymorrning

Floating in the dark of night

After the birds take flight.

Out in the sea, I drift alone,

Where no one else dares to roam.

Tears fall upon my face

As they step up their pace.

Flooded with grief and despair.

I free my braid and cut chunks of hair.

I don’t need to be a beauty anymore.

He’s walked out of the proverbial door.

I am free to drift with the night or

Visit the depths of the ocean floor.

No one searches for me.

I take a step, I’m free.

I WILL SURVIVE








Water surrounds me.
Icy water.
I’m pulled deeper.
Waves drag me
from the shore.
I swim.
I tread water.
My head above the water,
I will survive.

I WILL SURVIVE




Icy water surrounds me.
The cold pulls me deeper.
Deeper into the unknown,
I sink.
Waves tear at me,
dragging me far from shore.
I swim.
I tread water.
I hold my head high
Above water.
I will survive.

FREE AT LAST


Free At Last

FREE AT LAST

Slow is the course of your waves.
Colors of the deep lie by my feet.
Your soothing laps bring me peace.
I must swim out to see whom I meet.

Your cold envelopes my stiff body.
Soon I am immersed in your cocoon.
I dive down deep below the surface.
I won’t be returning all too soon.

Trying to outrun my demons,
I swim faster from the shore.
I leave behind my enemies.
I don’t need them anymore.

I’m free at last from my problems
As I stroke hard away from humanity. 
No one is waiting for me back home.
I’m free to float away for eternity.

SWIM FREE


In a bottle.
So sweet and pure.
Let it be free.
To swim once more.

THE SUN SHINES ALL DAY


ocean wallpaper

Come and swim with me
By the deep blue sea.
Where fish and dolphins play,
And the sun shines all day.
The ocean sparkles green and blue
Like a wrapped present just for you.
The soft sand is so white and clean.
Perfection has no in-between.
Oasis is perfect to get away.
It is the best place I can safely say.
Except for the desolate night
That might offer us a big fright.
Dark shadows come out from their homes.
The sun uncovers only bones.
What happens at night is a mystery
Along with Oasis’ long history.
Come and swim with me
By the deep blue sea.
Where fish and dolphins play,
And the sun shines all day.

LIFE EMERGES


In the midst of darkness and despair,  life emerges.  Life is persistent.  It continues on despite  death and misfortune.  It can always be counted upon  to bring forth new light. 

In the midst of darkness,
life emerges.
It walks
the streets.
It flies
in the skies.
It swims
the waves.
Life is persistent.

SOOTHING WETNESS

A walk to the edge.
A dip in the ocean.
A dive into the unknown.
It will soon cover me
With its soothing wetness.
Am I ready?

FLY OFF THE ROCKS



We have reached the edge.
Nowhere left to go.
We escaped the party.
The deadly game from hell.
Let’s jump into the ocean.
Swim our way down the shore.
To the beach filled with tourists.
Where help will be on the way.
We can’t return to End House.
Evil house of illusions.
Filled with traps and dead bodies.
No way are we going back.
Come and take my hand.
Let’s fly off the rocks.
We’ll soar through the air.
Like a pair of white doves.
Footsteps behind us.
Flying creatures above.
Time is now or never.
For us to take our chance.

HAVE A DRINK



Paradise awaits.
Enjoy a drink by the pool.
A swim in the ocean.
A walk on the beach.
Drink up and be merry.

Night is approaching.
And so are The Dead.
They walk the streets at night.
Drink from their victims.
And party until the morning light.

Is there no one to stop them?
What about The Watchers?
Vampire police who’ve lived for centuries.
They will fight The Dead.
Oasis will return from its darkness.

Long live Oasis, Florida.

A QUIET SPOT FOR YOUR IMAGINATION

A QUIET SPOT



In a quiet spot.
On a soft chair.
In the sun’s spotlight.
I will read a book.
Eyes wide open.
Mind set to explore.
Sunlight streaming in.
I will read a book.
Hands trembling.
Tears falling.
Sun warming my body.
I will read a book.

CARRY ON


Hit me.
Strike me.
I will carry on.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I will carry on.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.

TRAPS

“Spider Engineers” (1956)

Traps to set.
We set for ourselves.
With lies and deceit.
And so much to hide.
