Walking on the Fence

Walking on the Fence
9/22/2016

I was walking on the fence of life
With no ground close in sight,
All I could see, from side to side,
Was a landscape barren of life.
The darkness spread around me,
My only saving grace was the fence
That stretched forever in front of me,
But my future was full of suspense.
Too scared to look behind me
But there was nothing to see ahead,
Just a big, black wall of confusion,
To the slaughter I was being led.

But then your hand pushed through the dark
And the fence forked to each side,
After a moment of indecision
I finally made up my mind,
So I grasped your hand and followed you
Along a different path
And suddenly I started to see
A field of flowers and grass.
Where before there was only darkness
A future began to unfold,
I found a way back to the light
And happiness finally took hold.

We will dance through the field of flowers
Forever side by side,
And any sort of darkness found
I will fight with you as my guide,
And always I will guide you
If you lose sight of the light,
I'll reach through the wall of darkness
And together we will fight
So no longer will we walk the fence
Struggling to find balance in life,
No more wavering back and forth
Together we'll fight through all strife.

The Silence

The Silence

Date Unknown

The silence is unbearable,

In the dark and lonely night,

I sit silently bundled up

As I long to turn on the light.

My eyes keep wandering

As I worry in my head,

My fears of the next day

Are what keep me in my bed.

I try to keep it hidden

In the total darkness,

But I want someone to find me,

And show me my true bravery.

The silence is a phantom thief,

Quietly stealing my mind,

I’ll just lie in the darkness,

Hoping for a sign.

I lay screaming in the blackness,

But nobody can hear me,

I can see the search light,

But me, no one can see.

Queen of Darkness

Queen of Darkness

5/8/2011

It is so hot,

I fear my sweet outer layer

Will melt away

To reveal the cold bitterness

That festers inside.

The bitter side

Of me is one that brings terror

For in its grasp

All will be consumed in darkness

And solitude.

Empty darkness

That will prevail and bring forth black

Nights of stark ruin

And all will flee to the abyss

That gives shelter.

An illusion

They run to, for I watch over

Everything here.

There is no corner that doesn’t

Harbor shadows.

The solitude

Closes in to leave them helpless

Praying for God.

But he isn’t there to shelter

Them from my spell.

The trees will die,

Withering in the cold winter

Frost I call forth.

Everything within sight shall wilt

And slowly, die.

I will become

The Queen of Darkness, who shatters

And scatters all

We know and cherish in this world.

All will perish.

Let us now hope

That this never occurs and I

Hold that layer

Of sweetness, that covers sorrow

That dwells within.

I am the Darkness

I am the Darkness

Date Unknown

I wander through pitch like darkness,

Scanning frantically back and forth.

There is nothing I can see or feel,

There’s no water to quench my thirst.

I keep on wandering aimlessly

Through my darkened thoughts,

Tripping o’er my sadness,

But all of that has been for naught.

I have been forced into a cage

And I’ve no place left to go,

This world I in live in is a stygian cave

And the entrance is covered over with snow.

I am akin to the darkness

Lost forever in the night,

Until the day someone notices me

I’m lost in this world without sight. 

Haunting

Haunting

Unknown Date

Walking down a cold dark lane

You can feel the eyes all around you,

Hoping you show signs of weakness

But hoping to cause some mischief too.

There are long skinny shapes

That slithers along the walls,

And follow just behind you

As you walk down long, dark halls.

In this place of horror,

Who knows what lies in waiting?

But you should be weary

For the ground may start to shaking.

Worms crawling, slithering, sliding,

Bats watching, waiting, flying,

Spiders hiding in corners hoping

Watching for pray that will soon be dying.

There are spirits watching,

Making maidens cry,

And then taunting

Them to fly.

All of this is ever going,

In places haunted ever more,

The maiden’s silver dresses flowing,

And the darkness floating across the floor.
