A Cleansing

Bring on the rain
The torrent of pain
The gush of the winds.
Bring it and let it wash me away -
to a new day.
To one without monsters;
One without fear;
And another to clean up the blood.

For Kim

I wrote this for my sister.
She was always such a fan of my writing, and although she didn't always understand the darkness behind it, she fully supported me and encouraged me to continue with this gift.
Thank you, Kim.
Thank you for the love.
I pushed the darkness aside for a moment.
This one's for you....




Angel of the Skies

I know you've got your angel wings
And you're flying around doing angel things
Ushering in everything the day brings...

But I miss you.

Image found here

I know you're up there in that night sky,

With your twinkle and your sparkle and a watchful eye
Pulling the shade down and raising that moon up high...

But I miss you.

And I know you're all around me, I can smell you upon the breeze;

 I know you still speak to me, because I hear you whisper through the trees;

And I can feel your love raging up a storm and like the rain, it puts me at ease...

But I miss you.

       You are my sun and my moon and my stars.

Peace of Mind

Never again will he feel the warmth of the light -


or the comfort of sin.


Never again will he fear the night;


For he won't be coming back this way again.

Dream On

Found on Pinterest

No matter what they say!

Mirrors

The storm chases me,
Ripping through the blanket of night.
It catches me beneath the rain;
Among the thunder; Among the pain.

Upon this sleepy nightmare, I hold my breath and wait.
For the dawn to wake me;
For the light to cleanse me;
For reality to wash it all away.

Or is it the dream I wake up to?
A short break from the insanity,
Only to return to the darkness of time?

~ Deevious ~

An Innocence

I am #jealous of your slumber.  

The way you sleep and dream. 

Of the angel that cradles you in her protection.

Of all the fear you do not know.

Wired Wrong?

I know there's something wrong with me ~
Some sort of mask, lifted.
Some sort of shade, missing.

I can't seem to siphon the images;
Cannot make them stop.
These nightmares have no shut-off valve ~
No off switch ~
No stopping them from taking over;
Turning me asunder;
Wreaking their havoc;
Owning my soul?

Up for Bid

The devil's wings pushed me down.
They were terribly heavy and bore upon me like a barbell to my shoulders.
I begged for release;
Prayed to the Heavens for refuge
But I knew, I too, had a cross to bear.
And one I had to bear alone.
And the more I fought ~
The heavier it got;
The rougher the road;
The longer the journey:
The darker the night.

Lurking

Lock the doors.
Set an alarm.
Believe this keeps you safe from harm.

If you could see,
What it is they crave,
You would realize the vain in which you behave.

No sirens or walls 
Or windows that lock
Can slow them down or make them stop.

For they will seek you out
Offer you a hand
And take your soul to their unholy land.

#CreepOn

In Time

Imprinted upon my mind

is this aching; this curse; this sign....

Biding Time

The moon was lined with silver;
A slight breeze blew in.
The Dark came to visit;
With a voice upon the wind.

Breeze by

Upon the wind, whispers flew....

...they spoke about me.  They screamed about you.

The pages spoke to her.
The words introduced themselves and took hold of her being.  She became one with her story and spoke it, for all to hear ~ to anyone who would listen.
And when the night fell upon her, and she could no longer see, others carried her message and sent her home on wings of light.       ~dpb~

Octoberfest

Leaves are falling
they exit their nest
Autumn's calling
and soon will rest

The strong winds come mauling

in from the west

and strike with an appalling

fist to the chest

and out with a gust, hauling

the Wicked's best

leaves the weak bawling

and stranded

and abandoned

and unblessed.

The message

The angel spoke for a brief moment and it was a beautiful thing for her to express herself in our language, for our ears to comprehend. 

And then, she turned to silence – the understandable kind – and continued her work.

We, as her audience, fortunate enough to watch.

Their Secret

Some of us thought they built the fence to keep people out - perhaps they built it to keep something in.

Riding Shotgun

"I'll take the wheel," I said with an uncontrollable excitement, the glint in my eye reflecting off the shiny ~ almost gaudy ~ skin of the massive vehicle.
His laugh was deep and profound and it reverberated off the aluminum walls of that spacious garage. 
When his chuckle winded down, his demeanor changed ~
He leaned in close ~ his breath was warm, and carried a lingering scent of stale cigarettes and day-old garlic.
His words were rigid.
"Honey, I'm the one driving this spaceship."

Astray

The lost souls will ask you for direction.

C'est la vie

Aren't we all
just passing through?
