Come sit with me, said the spider to the fly.Daylight's gone, moonbeams grace the sky. Glitter from the stars are captured in my web.Breaking night's darkness as sunbeams ebb. Visit for awhile, we can share a story or two.Growing our new friendship, don't be blue. You are safe with me, I mean you no harm.Enjoy our time together, no need for alarm. Make yourself comfy, fold in your tiny wings. I won't try to ensnare you in...

Darkness.Embedded in the shadow.Shadow.Comes with the light.Its cold outsideEven though the sun shines.Its colder insideI'm suffocating with my plight.No one knowsHow much they can endure,Until you go Through and through the blows.Ups and downsThings keep going around;Moving onThat's the real job.Just a rayGives hope like May,Just a thoughtMakes me head strong.One smile In a million frowns,And in timeIts like the domino f...

Dead silence ringing in my ears Alone outside in the dark of night A coyote's howl from nowhere appears My mind not filled with any fright Then a call from an owl I hear Awaiting arrival of morning's light Nothing in the dark this old man fears Droplet from an icicle taking flight Falling to the ground where it smears Dancing creek sounds bring such delight Song resonates on the breeze then disappears Filled with joy at t...

As the morning slowly brightens I sit and contemplate the silence And the darkness that surrounds me As a blanket, snug and tight Knowing I must let the day come Though reluctant, so I hold on For as long as I am able To the remnants of the night.

When black clouds swarm around meand reach down deep inside,I push away the darknessand huddle close and hide.I tremble with the terrorthat has me in its frame,the dead tide sweeps across me asa darkness and a flame. I drown beneath those waters,I choke on that dead air;the fire creeps up my bodyfrom my feet up to my hair.As demons eat my entrailsand goblins burn my skin,I knock at Satan’s foetid doorbut he won’t let me i...

Stop saying you love me, Because I don't think you understand how much I hurt, How much I cry, How many times I wake up in the middle of the night screaming, Because of you.  I don't think you know how many times I look over my shoulder. Even though you're 1000 miles away, In my mind you could be behind me in a second. I don't like loving my life in terror, But because of you I feel I have to. I hate being afraid of the d...

I don’t know why I am feeling this way all I know is it isn’t good I feel like running a knife over my wrist Or mixing some medicine with alcohol Maybe even jumping out of a window I know these aren’t solutions But I did try talking and that didn’t seem to help Besides it is not anyone’s responsibility Apart from family that don’t care They don’t even know Where I just moved too They don’t know about any of it Now the tea...

Once more a darkening viewrecaptures mentality's gaze. Bringing jumbled recollections,variegated images of the past. Jaded memories parade and flit, through a misty greying haze. Resolutions somehow evade, millions of questions asked. Detour after lengthy detour, perpetually lost within a maze. Touring dead-ended paths yet again, seems be my relentless task. I am not constantly malcontent,but at times my psyche is in mala...

Tangled Breathless Torn, I lay here trapped as a fly. Still stuck in the past I formed my own web with tears and shame. Death is my spider and freedom. Wrap and warp myself with threads to keep safe. Spider web, Spider web, it’s my home and my debris. This may end me but it’s the only way out of reality who I am afraid of.

Darkness, what a creepy mystery. It comes and goes so easily. Spun from lack, it does come back, 'less light remains, it's one true bane. For eradication is swift, and a flicker or a blink, can make it leave, go, disappear, flee. But long ago, 'fore you and I, when there neither was a cry nor a sigh, darkness reigned at night, even with the moon way up high. Fire was naught, no light trickled, every nook and cranny hid a...

The sun is shining, birds are chirping And there is a gentle breeze, Overall it is a beautiful day, However I am surrounded in darkness Feeling scared, unsure and very alone. Going through the motions of daily life As I plan for a future event That even the best outcome will be bad, As it will keep me from those I hold dearest. Tears running down my face As I write this thinking of my friends Realizing how my mood swings ...

Drowning deep within one’s self Echos of fears and memories past Pressures of self doubt Resurfacing from time to time Eroding what’s left of one’s self confidence Seeking, searching for something Some answers that may help end the insecurity Intoxication or drugs seem to be the key Only masking the truth behind the pain Needing to find the individual cure.

The droning sound of my alarm clock shattered the peacefulness of my dreams, and I groggily hit the off button and then proceeded to stretch, stifling a yawn. The dim glow of the alarm clock read 6:00AM, and the sun had yet to rise. There was a lovely pink that colored the sky from my open bedroom window and a small draft of air carried my white curtains from their rest at the frame. It was 6:15AM before I managed to roll...

There were little fireflies in the dark sky, and that's how I knew it was nighttime. Momma called them stars, and I always loved looking up at them. There was also an enormous white will-o'-the-wisp that watched over the fireflies, but Momma called it the moon. Momma sometimes let me sit outside the place where we sleep to look up at the stars with her, and that's what I was doing now. The place was peaceful. Many others...
