Eternal sunshine surrounds both our souls

We wander through clouds and dance on tiptoes,

Swirling to rhythms -which we only hear,

The menace of darkness, we no longer fear.

The sky, now our playground, we take a twirl,

Two spirits, one flame, watch us unfurl;

Our bodies glide closely -as hearts triple beat,

Kisses on lips sways -as our skin overheats.

You promised.

you promised we'd grow old together-

that we'd build a home in forever-

we’d travel the world...

Y o u p-r-o-m-i-s-e-d

You promised we’d share a thousand dreams,

that we’d build foundations to rival ideals.

You promised-

no matter what, we’d overcome adversities,

you promised and at the first hurdle you d i s a p-p-e a r e d...

You promised-

the skies and all that's beyond,

you promised eternity

to love, cherish and hold.

You promised,

you promised-

then pulled apart us through the seams;

the going was getting tough,

you faltered at the start;

your promises failed me

tearing us apart...

You promised me pocketfuls of promised dreams

Since when did promises become verbal abuse filled fields?

Since when did promises cause tears to bleed?

You promised

#NightDwellers #BeginningLine #SleepyWrite #Poetry #Experimental

So it began,

The swift culling of the land

A martyr

A villain

Innocent blood spilt, silence screaming out loud.

So it begins…

Atop a high tower,

Perched on burning thrones

Ashes corrupting souls

Unifying end goals

The light of man

Now a dying breed.

So hence it was decreed.

Games of lost swords

Plunged into discord

An eye

A tooth

Slayer, slew, sleuthed

To who is the hero- if the hero’s skewed?

Dark was once light

Our light overcast;

Roles have reversed

Lies well versed.

Once, said saviour- now holding a noose,

pray tell me who’s mission

Is to kill each season?

Upholding the truth, was honour and reason

Now if one speaks up, they’re taken for treason.

Where do lies end and gallantry begins?

Awaken your eyes, see past all the disguise

Before it’s too late

Unveil all the hate

Illuminate your mind

Say goodbye to blind-kind.

The swift culling of the land

Will keep if no one stands,

So rise and stand-forth

Time’s ours not those on darkened shores…

Perhaps a little hasty, words cause mishaP.

Reluctant soul, berates heart till all's oveR.

Overwritten, scorned, bittersweet endings sO

Sumptuous it hurtS.

Ever ends, beginnings, leads simply to...

#Acrostic #DoubleAcrostic #NightDwellers

On thin ice I walk

shattering my core

fire and hailstones are born

convoluting my mind

confusing my inner most hidden flaws...

On ice I walk

cracking underneath the heat

erupting the rage of despair

my tiny feet unaware

my existence falling, crawling, fraying...

Fire burns my inner essence

knawing at my sacred needs

desire simmers

molten core combusting

my ice cage no longer sure,

unable to contain what lingers when it rains...

Icicles pierces in places where pain no longer remains

hot and cold,

senses rush wild abandon

no longer coy,

no longer afraid...

Fire and ice

damnation in sight

atop an iced throne

I drown...

resurfacing a phoenix

alive

aware

rebirth brings a strength of which is really rare...

#NightDwellers

From within the surface of the lake

bubbling droplets evaporates,

                                                        e s

                                                            c

                                                                 a

                                                                         p

                                                                                            e

                                                                                                          s.

Waves ripples

as Herbert giggles-

roaming

           along

                 sandy

                         beds.

Herbert's wingspan is mighty grand-

with silvery scales oh so fine.

Hopscotch's his game

he hops             Skips

          and

along the lake bed

nice and quick

without       waves           never

            him          would           be...

On occasions he would simmer

beyond the surface-

searching for dinner.

He'll pounce and ROARRR

(and breathes real fire)-

he does this almost every hour;

causing lakes' water to

                                m    

                                                 i     

                                                                     s      

                                                              t-

And you thought dragons did not exist...
