Dreary.
Wet.
Dark.
Alone.
Inside.
Quiet.
Dry.
Safe.
Drab walk of life.
Day to day existence.
Dark shadows fading.
Grey becomes the norm.
One day becomes the next.
A mansion so dreary.
One should be leery
Of entering its gate.
Better leave it to fate.
Each room offers a view
Of history for you.
Beautifully furnished rooms
Swept clean by invisible brooms.
“Who lives in here?” you might ask
If you dare take him to task.
“Only I,” he might reply
With a twinkle in his eye.

Night drifts closer.
Black replaces blue.
Clouds fall slowly.
A dark day for you.
Green soaking pink.
Waves hit the shore.
I know what you think.
Evening coming too soon.
The truth may be hard to bear.
Our town has lost its yellow glow.
Night walkers are coming here.
A town lost to its deadly foe.
THE DEAD GAME
Kindle
Nook
I’m trapped in my own dark thoughts,
forever roaming beneath the twinkling stars.
I can see an open door in the distance,
offering possibilities beyond the here and now.
I want to escape from this dreary existence
to sample the tastes of the wide and far.
A LITTLE MAGIC
All we need is a little magic
to bring our fantasies to life.
A little fairy dust
to capture our hidden desires.
A little sprinkle of pink
to brighten our dreary days.
Puff.
You’re gone.
I’m in fantasy land.
Fill in the pages.
Fill the pages with
words and stories.
The world does not
have to be dark.
It does not have to be dreary.
We do not have to be alone.
We need to fill our lives with
people and events.
Stories to tell our children.
Words to light our paths.
No hovering in the darkness,
waiting for our time to come to an end.
But we need to stand in the light
and enjoy life.
It is short and precious.
But it is our right to fill in the pages.
WITH A LITTLE LIGHTNESS.
