Eggzie - Hello Poetry

Darkness falls upon the land the time is finally here Chirps now belong to crickets And blind birdlike beasts appear A couple bound by cobweb shackles Bathe in nighttime’s crooked smile Whilst weaving in the shadows The captors wait a while Sounds of leaves from dying limbs Dance deftly on the midnight breeze No life within their brittle veins Forever strangers from their trees Natures waning lunar grin Is concealed behind a haloed cloud. Who knows what sins that it commits Behind its wispy shroud? Stars look down intently With sinister twinkles in their eyes Spies that stalk the witching hour Corrupting faultless skies An owl perches on a twisted giant Whose Wooden arms stretch out It searches with its focussed gaze For creatures scurrying about Whilst The shielded hedgehog wanders Foraging the ground It’s weapons at the ready For any predators around minions retreat to their houses And with a final smirk Nights guardian begins to fade And the sun begins it’s work

After sunset

Darkness falls upon the land the time is finally here Chirps now belong to crickets And blind birdlike beasts appear A couple bound by cobweb shackles Bathe in nighttime’s crooked smile Whilst weaving in the shadows The captors wait a while Sounds of leaves from dying limbs Dance deftly on the midnight breeze No life within their brittle veins Forever strangers from their trees Natures waning lunar grin Is concealed behind a haloed cloud. Who knows what sins that it commits Behind its wispy shroud? Stars look down intently With sinister twinkles in their eyes Spies that stalk the witching hour Corrupting faultless skies An owl perches on a twisted giant Whose Wooden arms stretch out It searches with its focussed gaze For creatures scurrying about Whilst The shielded hedgehog wanders Foraging the ground It’s weapons at the ready For any predators around minions retreat to their houses And with a final smirk Nights guardian begins to fade And the sun begins it’s work

I’m strolling along, patrolling the concrete jungle I hear my steps in rhythm with my heart The people pass me by as quickly as the minutes. The quiet just before the storm decides to start A feeling washes over me, like deja vu Just as my world begins to spin and shake My body moves without my permission as I stumble in this unforgiving earthquake I let out a wail as the ground gets nearer My muscles tense, unwilling to act The world goes dark, the lights go out Saving me the pain caused by the impact The tremors run through me like a tuning fork When it’s struck upon some wood And when the world comes back in focus So does the pain and taste of blood. A river of people flow around me their feet raining on the floor A stream of voices dulled by fear Reflected in the frowns they wore But none have fallen, none have shook They felt no movement,tremors unknown The world was still for everyone Except me. I am alone My earthquakes are my own it seems And so I will remain An accidental breakdancer With short circuits in my brain

The Earthquake

I’m strolling along, patrolling the concrete jungle I hear my steps in rhythm with my heart The people pass me by as quickly as the minutes. The quiet just before the storm decides to start A feeling washes over me, like deja vu Just as my world begins to spin and shake My body moves without my permission as I stumble in this unforgiving earthquake I let out a wail as the ground gets nearer My muscles tense, unwilling to act The world goes dark, the lights go out Saving me the pain caused by the impact The tremors run through me like a tuning fork When it’s struck upon some wood And when the world comes back in focus So does the pain and taste of blood. A river of people flow around me their feet raining on the floor A stream of voices dulled by fear Reflected in the frowns they wore But none have fallen, none have shook They felt no movement,tremors unknown The world was still for everyone Except me. I am alone My earthquakes are my own it seems And so I will remain An accidental breakdancer With short circuits in my brain

I’m followed by a hallowed stranger Swallowed by the danger of a ranger with a shadowed shot. A dusty smear with unclear parts, just fear of hearts that start to clot A creature with no features on its face Meets you in a place erased from sight He’s Parked within a dark abyss I hear a bark, a hiss and feel the kiss of night. The air grows hot and starts to rot, I’ve got to fight to reach the light, but Fear that I might not.

The Stranger
