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.

If I lived in a seashell,
life would be easy,
perhaps even swell,
but as I do not live in a seashell,
and can but wish that I did,
I sit and listen for the ocean,
content to wait,
waiting for my shell,
my sea in a shell.

I see a face yelling my name,

a set of hands drawing lines,

and a pair of eyes alike mine.

Step near, I say, but tread far;

there’s no I ’round these parts.

Mouth of a whale
sun sharp on skin
teeth bared
peeking within
There’s a special something
if you dare to look
open
now
wide
– don’t be shy of my hook

Day by day,
a contortion,
bones out of shape,
out of place,
I stare at a reflection
seeming no less sane than yesterday,
but a whole lot saner than today.
What tomorrow has in wait,
but another contortion,
yet another day,
where a reflection stays,
regardless of the mirror that breaks?

For the roots of a tree
is but as long as the branches that reach,
crisscrosses on the black blue sky,
punctured clouds that rain upon you and I

It rises in the shadow of the sun,
body larger than a house,
eyes like summer leaves.
Hooves meet the ground,
cracking,
cobwebs set aflame,
nostrils flaring,
exhaling,
walls shaking,
inhaling,
panels breaking.

In the color of summer leaves,
I see brown,
hellish,
but no green.

There burns a sweet pain in my heart,
one that says badump,
——badump,
———–badump,
though I do not know if I leave it be,
or if I march to its unstopping beat.

And so we laugh— now,
through mouths of ashen gold,
but a caricature of ourselves,
until we are no more
and our laugh is no more,
ash rubbing our voices dry,
gold coating them still.

Raven

In the Gentle Snow, Falling;

Fear Not

The Glimmering Light, Lolling;

Dark Bird

Through the Shadows, Forestalling;

Listen

To the Whispers, Calling,

Winter

Chills, Quietly Enthralling;

The Raven

In the Gentle Snow, Falling.

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?
