It’s A Calling

Hush…

There’s a whispering melody heard throughout the forest

The tune is vaguely familiar, I’m sure I’ve heard it before

Hush…

Yes!Yes! I’ve heard this calling before

I closed my eyes, tilted my chin upwards to the sky

Before long it all seemed crystal clear

The jazzy tune shot me straight up, to the awesome moon.

The Journey Home

The forest is dense with the overgrown bush, off the beaten path. I lost all sense of time during this walk, and sense of direction. I’m lost in my thoughts, since my memories are blowing in the wind.

I have no recognition when the day gave way to darkness. The clouds are menacing and casting a thick blanket of shadows in the woods. The tree branches are waiting to attack me, with outstretched limbs.

A calming misty fog dampens my hair, and sweats runs in my eyes. It’s uncanny; yet peaceful.

My ankles are cold. I bend down to pull up my socks, only to see I am barefooted. The moonlight cast a pool of thick, dark blood on both of my feet.

I look behind me. There are tracks of blood that have been following me. I think I’ve bled out.

I’m dizzy seeing red. I’m going home.

Good night world!

Burning Flames

Flames are glowing in your eyes

Orange as the leaves in

Autumn…

Red as Satan’s forked

Tail…

Trees are dancing with a wicked

Passion…

As fire ignites in the

Forest…

My limbs are burning

With…

A dark and evil

Desire…

In the damnation of

Hell…

I’m guided by the sound of

Crackles…

From the fire

And…

The putrid scent of singed

Hair…
