In the hollow darkness, nothing felt real.  I stood for a protracted moment, waiting for my eyes to adjust while listening with strangely heightened senses for the sound that had led me there.  Nothing. Not a single vibration shook the stillness; not the faintest hint of a whisper; nor even the softest sigh. Nothing.  The wilting shadows held me captive without chains or manacles, a prisoner within myself, standing alone in absolute nothingness.  Then it happened, and all was Lost.  My roommate switched on the light.

Gargoyle

Beneath the Silent Moonlight

Where Whispers Fall Unheard,

He waits in Mythic Silence

While Shadows Linger, Undeterred;

Watching in the Twilight

Where she walks in Sorrow’s Shade,

Haunted by the Memory

of Beguiling Mistakes she’s made;

Mute Testament to Tragedy,

Witness of Lament and Toil,

Unnoticed Secret Watcher,

Friendless, Faithful Gargoyle.

Halls stained with silent shadows and serrating whispers bled into the dimness of the icy ether as the glimmer of light from beyond cracked glass panes struggled to permeate the chill.  Amid the perturbed hush, a suspiration of frosty air snaked its away along the columns and cold, gray stone; reaching for what lay beyond its grasp; hoping for one last connection with what was long since lost.

50-Word Sentences – Rose Thoughts

Beyond the hours, stretching impossibility into prose, the rose of my thoughts lingered like a tapestry hanging from a languid cord upon the pallid wall; minuscule in comparison to the immensity of what it lay against, a rock and stone impenetrable barricade through which only the seeking cold could seep.

.

50-Word Sentences begins its life today, after a conversation with your friend and mine, Richard M. Ankers, whose marvelous 50-Word Stories always intrigue and inspire me!  I said to him that I wished I could write them as amazingly as he, but being Superfluously Verbose, it was practically impossible for me.  Without missing a bit, he countered by suggesting I write 50-Word sentences, and I’ve taken him up on it!  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them.

Thanks Richard!

Spirits of the Dead By Edgar Allan Poe I Thy soul shall find itself alone ’Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone— Not one, of all the crowd, to pry Into thine hour of secrecy. II Be silent in that solitude, Which is not loneliness—for then The spirits of the dead who stood In life […]

Shadows

.

There are many places in this world that have a reputation for being haunted or evil. Native Americans, as well as other ancient cultures throughout the world, name many places as cursed or avoid them because they understand how dangerous they are, but why? Is it perhaps because these places are inhabited by Negative Energy; by demons for lack of a better name? If we Believe there is Positive Perfected Energy, then the opposite must also be true, but what happens to these places infested by shadows and what happens to us when we choose to live there?

Shades of Gray

Where does the Essence go once it departs our physical body? Does it consciously decide whether to go towards the Light or remain in the earthly plane? Are we in control of what happens to our Essence or does energy return to Energy, from which it sprung? Continue reading →

Since Halloween is coming….

Cemetary_stock_7_by_Tigg_stock

Weariness overcame me. Darkness spiraled up from the pit of my stomach, engulfing me, pulling me under, surrounding me. I struggled against it, trying to breath in the suffocating murk, but, like a hypnotic spell, I could not resist the tugging blackness encroaching on my thoughts. Sleep leapt upon me, like a tigress with claws bared, sinking them into my flesh, penetrating deeply, inescapable. Continue reading →
