My Way

I have become lost

wandering a plane of existence

I have never been before.

This raw landscape

unfiltered

unrefined

unknown

spools before me

pathways never taken.

Shadowy beings

lurk in the corners

shifting

plying

playing

with my emotions

with my thoughts

desires

dreams

fears.

Silver clouds

rain upon my head

merging with tears

rolling

seeping

free falling

over my cheeks.

Doleful

I continue forward.

Skeletal tree

black arms beckoning

raised against the sky.

My destination.

My way out.

My way to……

Photo is one that I took Spring of 2018

Cleanse

Vile

blackened heart

blackened soul

teeth digging in

rending dreams

no child should have to run from.

Disguised

cloaked decent

only the tiny eyes

lips trembling with fear

for deep inside

they know

it will be their fault

never yours

see the monster beneath.

Dancing through the shadows

I stalk

desiring to rid myself

this world

those poor imps

from your tainted touch.

Death escapes

last breath

trials of blood

at my feet.

Eyes fading

glow extinguished

now

I can wash this sin away.
