THE DARKNESS INSIDE
Teeth glisten in the dark as I walk through the park. I stop in my tracks in fear, not knowing what can be near.
I stand quietly and listen, but I only see the glisten. Soft footsteps ring out behind me. I’m not waiting around to see.
Then I happen to glance down, and my face droops in a frown. The fanged smile floats on the lily pond. Of my reflection, I’m not so fond.
It reveals the darkness inside that I’ve always failed to hide. |

MY SECRET
MY SECRET
Sprinkle my path with pretty leaves & flowers.
I want to look at water & not towers.
Colors to brighten my day.
A place where birds come to play.
I walk to the end of the pier.
I gaze into the depths without fear.
I watch the fish swimming by,
Not monsters lurking nearby.
Allow time to pass slowly and be savored.
Whoever comes this way will be favored.
I think it’s only prudent and fair
To share my secret with those who care.
AN OPEN BOOK
Can you see my innermost thoughts?
Some people hide their thoughts,
while others show every feeling.
Are you an open book?

RELEASE THE DEMON
Source:blackoutravendeathsdoor
A killer lurks in each one of us,
hidden behind our human facade.
It waits for the right incentive,
the perfect reason,
to be released from its hold.
Time to release the demon
from its human cage.
A SECRET PLACE
A secret place
To call your own.
To think or
Perhaps to dream.
Of better times.
Of a better life.
A place to escape
From the darkness
Of your mind.
AFTERNOON DELIGHT
“Come back to me my sweet.
Take a break from the heat.
An afternoon in a cool retreat.
We could make our own special heat.”
The wood door rattles and creaks open wide.
I hesitate before I walk inside.
The small room is as dark as night.
I begin to tremble with fright.
Maybe I should leave this place.
The door slams shut in my face.
I hear the voice in the air
Telling me, “what fair is fair.”
I intruded on this secret room,
And so I won’t be leaving too soon.
MY SWEET LOVE
Come to me, my sweet love.
From the heavens above.
I want to spend life with you.
One heart that will beat like two.
Come with me to our secret place.
I cannot wait to see your face.
Our love is honest and true.
Come to me from the dark blue.
LIFE IS FOR LIVING
The young hold the secret.
The secret to living.
A hop.
A skip.
A jump.
Each day brings
new experiences
and adventures.
Just hop, skip
and jump your way to
living and enjoying
life to the fullest.

Some color to brighten my day.
A place where the birds come to play.
I will walk to the end of the pier.
I’ll gaze into the depths without fear.
For I will only see fish swimming by.
And not any monsters lurking nearby.

Whomever comes this way will be favored.
I think it’s only prudent and fair
To share my secret with those who care.
