SUMMERTIME

laurabreiling:

summertime

I float in a swimming pool.

I feel relaxed and cool.

A breeze fills the air.

No one else swims near.

Two leaves drift beside me.

I turn my head to see.

Two whales grin back at me.

I’m in the big blue sea.

I jump into the pool.

I feel like a fool.

My mind played tricks on me.

I’m an author, you see.

SWEPT AWAY

Lights twinkle on the horizon.

A horizon tinted pink by the night.

I walk past the mosaic trimmed pool.

A trade wind follows me.

I’m being swept away.

By the view.

By the lights.

By the beauty.

A contented sigh drifts on the wind.

FROZEN BEACHES

(Source: thelavishlife)

Silence reigns supreme.

The sun hides its face.

Palm trees shake their leaves.

Winds pick up their pace.

Hotel stands deserted.

Flapping sounds fill the air.

Dark shadows join the fray

Beneath his icy stare.

THE OASIS HOTEL

THE OASIS HOTEL

The white hotel on the beach

has everything within reach.

A swimming pool in the sun

offers fun in the hot sun.

The night brings a different story

of The Dead in all their glory.

They come to scare the town,

cold stares served with a frown.

Beware of the walking dead.

They are evil ones to dread.

THE DEAD BY THE SEA

THE DEAD BY THE SEA

Come with me to the pool by the sea. 
Oasis is the best place to be.
Relax by the pool or sit by the bar.
Tourists visit this place from near and far.

I think I’ll take a dip in the pool.
I am definitely not a fool.
I’d never pass up a chance for fun
Or a tan in the Florida sun.

Wait! Come and look over here.
I found a book on the chair.
The small town is a beautiful place.
I see the stunned look on your face.

Oasis Hotel resembles this one.
But it isn’t always fun in the sun.
It is a haven for The Dead.
Is the heat going to your head?

The sky is turning cloudy and dark.
I can see shadows over the park.
What’s that standing behind you?
It’s not one shadow but two.

More shadows are coming ashore.
I’m not going to wait for more.
Our destiny seems to be in this book.
I’m leaving now without a second look.

A VACATION PARADISE

So alone.
Why can’t I enjoy the view.
Blue water cascading over rocks.
The smell of the sea in the air.
A vacation paradise.

My thoughts drift to happier times.
Times of parties and friends.
New acquaintances. 
New beginnings.

Where has it all gone?
Gone from my mind.
Gone from the town.
To be replaced by dark shadows.

I can feel them around me,
Lurking beyond the pool,
Waiting for the right moment to pounce.
I refuse to let them get me.
Not this time.

The water does look inviting;
To be cocooned in its warmth.
I feel wet.
I’m in the water.
I must have been pushed.

A chuckle drifts nearby,
Transforming into a hearty laugh.
Is it coming from the shadow above the rocks?
Did it push me in?

I close my eyes.
The warmth.
The safety.
Like a baby
Returning to the womb.

FRIDAY THE 13th

End House sits at the edge of a cliff,

overlooking the raging waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

A party is being given on Friday the 13th.

Black invitations have been sent out.

Guests are arriving to meet the unknown host.

Past owners have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Linda and her friends have been hesitant to attend.

But their curiosity has brought them here this night.

No one greets them at the front door.

Gargoyles grin from their positions on the staircase.

All is dark except for the lit sconces and candles.

The flickering sconces reveal a hallway to the right.

Candles along the banister show the way up.

Should they stay or leave before it’s too late?

Should they check the outdoor pool

or the lavish pool upstairs?

It makes no difference.

Their path has been pre-determined.

This path leads in only direction.

To death.

THE DEAD WALKING

letslivebythesea

Paradise waits for us.

A perfect oasis.

Waves cascade onto

white-sanded beaches.

Guests lounge around

the hotel’s swimming pool.

Quaint stores dot Main Street

in shades of the rainbow.

Life is beautiful.

Until night comes.

Waves hit the shore

with their increasing fury.

The sun bows out.

The moon takes its place.

The night brings The Dead walking

into a town near you.
