WHY ME?

Why me?
I go swimming every week
So my legs won’t feel tired or weak.
Don’t know why my legs have to swell.
A disease created in hell.

Why me?
A bigger nuisance there can’t be.
It makes life much harder for me.
Humidity is my enemy
As I cry out, “Stay away from me.”

Why me? 
I want to begin a day feeling well.
That’s why I have this story to tell.
Life has these hurdles we must overcome.
Most of them aren’t any kind of fun.  

Why me?
This question has no answer for me.
It is just the way things have to be.
My father suffered from this in quiet.
I will follow his lead and not riot.

WRITE THE STORY

Write your story.

Add the details.

Don’t forget your characters.

Leave no event untold.

Leave no rock unturned.

Write your book.

Your life story.

Write it in blood.

FLEETING

A puff of smoke.

A flicker of light.

Life is sweet.

It is memorable.

It can be fleeting.

Gone in a puff of smoke.

Don’t close your eyes.

Keep them wide open.

Dangers lurk everywhere.

Poof!

A life is gone.

Is it yours?

Only THE DEAD

have the power.

Only THE DEAD

hold the cure.

Only THE DEAD

know who’s next.

DEATH TO OPTIMUM

http://alienexplorations.blogspot.com/2016/12/alien-comic-books-alien-heads-on-stakes.html

My whole Sunday has passed in torment and hell.

I waited for Optimum to ring the bell.

I’ve been in hell for a week already.

This is not me being mean or petty.

No phone or internet for a week.

I’ve been so upset I couldn’t sleep.

Many hours later, I heard the news.

No one was coming to relieve my blues.

They might return Tuesday or maybe not.

Who needs the internet on days so hot?

“Death to Optimum,” I say.

Time is past for them to pay.

Blood will fall if they don’t fix their mistakes.

I can see a few heads sitting on stakes.

The Fourth of July

Lights in the night sky
Colors float so high
Raining in hues
Red, white, and blue
Victory is our day
We have come here to play
Music and marching bands
We raise our clapping hands
Celebrate the 4th of July
Let the colorful lights fly high

FLAME

Quiver.

Flicker.

Shoot sparks.

Tremble.

Falter.

But always

Give light.

DARK SKIES

Dark skies are moving in.

The town is dark as sin.

Rumbling fills the humid air,

And The Dead will soon be here.

Hail begins to fall,

Big as a baseball.

Lightning joins the hot fray.

I’m not going to stay.

We must escape this night

Before we lose the fight.

He has come for me.

I’m as afraid as I can be.

HOUSE OF HORRORS

A creepy room in

a house of horrors.

A maze of traps

and skeletons.

A house alive

with evil spirits.

Why did we come,

and how do we escape?

A BOOK OF EVIL

A book of evil.

A book of the devil.

Does it exist?

It exists in Oasis, Florida.

It’s revered and honored.

Its worshippers are many.

Its followers are fierce.

Few survive.

BURN

It lights quick.

It burns fast.

I’m left alone in its wake

with the burnt ashes of my heart.

I AM ME

I am me.

I am flesh and blood.

I have knowledge.

I have talent.

I have desires.

I am me.

DARKNESS

:

Alice Svane

The darkness approaches.

It encroaches.

We’re cocooned in its shell.

Hidden in its depths.

Lost in its silence.

I will close my shutters.

Shut my windows.

But it still enters.
