ONLY THE DEAD KNOW

ONLY THE DEAD KNOW

We might look human
but we’re not.

We might act human
but we love to kill.

Our fearless leader
shows no mercy.

Who is he?

Will he show his face?

Only The Dead know.

WALK THE NIGHT

NIGHT WALK

Night Walk – {by Tiina Törmänen} | {Official WebSite}

Walk the night.

The cold wraps you in a cocoon

filled with the fresh scent of snowfall.

Listen as the snow falls.

It brushes the ground and branches

with a white brushstroke against a dark canvas.

Look to the twinkling stars.

Bright spots dodge grey clouds

to peek at the dusted ground below.

Snowflakes mist your hair

and land on your tongue.

Take a deep breath.

Engage your senses.

Walk the night.

THE VOICE

The evil lies within.

Each of us has the voice.

The voice enticing us to be bad.

It offers suggestions for revenge.

Immoral ways to succeed.

It never sleeps.

It appears in our nightmares.

Forever ready to lead us

down dark pathways.

Always on the hunt for

new followers.

We don’t have to feed it.

But let it starve.

NATURE WINS AGAIN

Nature takes back.

It waits.

Patient.

For time to pass.

Every so slowly.

Then it reaches in.

And takes back its own.

LIGHT THE WAY

The bright lights of a city.

The excitement.

The noise.

It entices you.

It takes you on a ride.

Holiday time like no other.

Light the way.

FREE FALL

How does it feel

to free fall?

Allow yourself

to take the leap. 

Sail through the air.

Freedom.

Escape.

What does it feel like?

I’ll let you know

once I hit the water.

ONE SONG

ONE SONG

Sing me a love song.

Rhyme me a sad tale.

The woe of heartbroken lovers

whose tinny cries take to the air.

The needle rides the grooves.

Round in a circle, it goes.

No beginning or end.

Like a tear that refuses to fall.

A song without an end.

The melody echoes through eternity.

One jump and scratch at a time.

DREAM OF THE FUTURE

Look up to the sky

and see the magic.

Watch the stars sparkle

as they drift on a dark blanket.

Let the moon’s glimmer

shine on your skin.

Dream of the future.

Hope for the best.

Your hopes and dreams

will lead you in the right direction.

NEW BEGINNINGS

NEW BEGINNINGS

The rain hits the puddles

in a staccato rhythm.

Tree branches hang low,

weighted with water.

Flowers lift their faces

for their morning washing.

The cold, crisp rain

refreshes and renews.

The clouds wring dry.

The sun returns

to brighten the day.

The air smells clean.

A new day dawns.

A new beginning.

A PRAYER FOR ME

A casualty of war.

A casualty of nature.

Sad.

Alone.

Drifting.

Broken.

Silenced forever.

Say a prayer for me.

SNOWFLAKES

SNOWFLAKES

Each unique.

No two alike.

Nature’s creation.

It is art for the world.

Falling softly to earth.

Showing off mid-air.

A little sparkle.

A little shine.

THE PERFECT ESCAPE

Source:the-devil-wears-zara

No reason to leave this room.

Books provide sustenance.

Words to soothe the soul.

A DEAD MAN’S DREAMS

Walk through the gates.

A palace awaits.

Deserted it may be,

nothing is free.

The marble floors sparkle with light

through rooms of magic & delight.

Rooms furnished from the past

come alive as we walk past.

A dead man’s dreams of hope,

a man with no life or scope.

Only in darkness, he may survive.

Too bad he’s dead & not alive.

He waits for the end of time

in a house built on a rhyme.

THE DEAD GAME

A BOOK IS A TREASURE

A long journey to become an author,
Days of soul searching and hard work.
The words need to be enticing and clear,
A bridge to the reader’s heart.

A movie camera sweeps across scenes,
So does a book’s point of view. 
One point of view shows one angle
While changing points of view reveal more.

To be lost in a book is indeed a gift,
An escape from the mundane and boring.
A visit to far away places can be
An adventure to open your mind’s eye.

Once completed, a book is a treasure,
A symbol of the author’s hopes and dreams.
A confectioner’s delight to be tasted and savored,
To be remembered by the many or just a few.
