Waiting

I have a good vibe but a dark heart.

They are at constant war.
Each trying to suck the soul out of the other.
Each one struggling to own the other.
One trying to snuff out the light.
The other trying to strangle the shadow.

Truth be told, I love them both.
I love them both equally.

So, it makes me wonder
which one will win?
And which one will be blown
asunder?

Madness

"A laugh a day keeps the clowns away."

~ DeeVious ~

We could all use some light in this darkness.

Sometimes

the darkness 

lights 

my way.

💀

Sometimes

the darkness 

makes 

me stay.

Will the ghosts mind

that we're high on sin?

Sleepless

Why must these ghosts haunt me?

These voices taunt me?

These nightmares own me?

For the Love of Books...

I LOVE BOOKS!

I have to shout it.
I have to brag about it.

 I love to read them.

I love to write them.

I love the smell of them.
I love the places that they take me.
I love the memories that they leave.
I love it when a new story unfolds in me and finds its way to the paper.
I love my pen and my ink.
I love my computer and my keyboard.
I love my chapter and my page.
I love my fan and my follower.
I love my nightmares and my dreams.

For all of this, I am blessed.
I am complete.

Thank you, Creepsters.
Thank you for being here.

Paid In Full

Thank you for my ears
that can hear a bird's song -
the breeze through the trees -
the voices in my head.

Thank you for my eyes
that can see a sunlit morn -
the full moon in its sky -
the shadows in the corners of my room.

Thank you for my slumber
the comfort of my bed -
the softness of my pillow -
the nightmares that call me home.

Thank you for my ghosts
the ones that haunt my days -
the others that visit my nights -
the ones that summon me into the darkness
that choke me without reason
that slash me without razors
that own me without title.

Thank you that their will be done.
And, that now, my payment is none.

The Pursuit...

The darkness that comes for me;
The night that haunts;
The shadows that sniff out my soul.

The screams that find my ears;
The voices that show me the way;
The spirits that bend my will.

I leave my fear behind.
I leave my soul as payment.
I trade my time for memory.

This is what I have become.
This is what I have left to offer you.
This is all that I am.
And all that I can be.

I am a ghost to this world.
But I am free.

A Perfect Fit...

Secrets to Keep

There are some nightmares that I cannot -I will  not put to paper because they are just too terrifying - too horrific - too evil.  I won't put them into words for fear these would breathe a life into them and they would walk off of the paper and into the world;
  And I would be to blame.
I would be responsible for all that destruction - all that pain - all that blood.

The Night

Beware the moon in its vicious sky;

Be wary of the shadows that slide on by;

Heed the whispers upon the wind.
Embrace the darkness of your sin.

Be Greedy

Why do we give away so much more than we keep?

Trust Issues

I cannot trust the moon.

Why?
Because She mocks my dreams.

I will not trust the moon.
Why?
Because She laughs when I whisper my prayers.

I shall never trust the moon.
Why?
Because She sends the shadows.

And they've come to do her bidding...

Never Walk Alone

 Can you feel it breathing behind you?

Do the hairs stand upon your neck?

Will you follow their eyes to safety?

Or will they lead you to your death?

Up All Night

I will sit with you in the dark, till the demons go away.

Until you can close your eyes.

Until you can dream again.

A Thought?

Is it the insanity that causes the pain?

Or is it the pain that creates the lunatic?

Do Not Disturb

I have prayed so hard 

to wake up from these nightmares

that I may have shaken Heaven 

out of Its own slumber.
