Shadows still linger in this bright light,
they thought well about where to hide,
broken hopes, shattered dreams, and shallow spirits,
are the foods that gives them strength to ride,
to ride in the shadows where darkness always rise.
Melody Dec 2017
The way life betrayed me,
Caused' a havoc in my mind.
Roaming in the deserted graves,
Thy ghost is what m' tryna find.
Shadows of the dark dancing around me
Screaming and crying, m' in a bind.
Wind's whispering my name,
Asking me to seek you around
As it's a game.
Darkness tryna get it's claws on me,
Closing all my ways to escape behind.
I surrender,
So knackering this hide and seek is.
The lights of hope flickered last time,
Seeing everything clear with eyes but my soul's gone blind.

* You are blind if your soul stop showing you lights of hope. You are empty if your heart stop caring. You are waste if your mind stop creating.*

Quiet people
Don't stand out.
They're hard to notice.

You have to be looking
To find them;
It's a game
Of hide and seek.

When they open up
They're likely
To be very beautiful
They'll love the company
Because
They're used to
Being overlooked.

You're not alone,
I know how it feels.

Magic breadcrumbs
Twinkle like stars
Giggling while hiding
Tender memoirs

Voodoo whispers
Finespun intention
Vibrating and swaying until
Magic has snuck in

Enticing while Splicing
Singing me along
Via my senses
To where I belong

Daring to be found
Anticipating you
Suspended exhalation
Timeless rendezvous
Dark of night, Black and white
Mystery and fright
Tales of secrets and horror ignite
Tonight, they tell a tale of a murderous night
In armor and claws and daggers and saws...
Hide and seek is the game of play
For he shall find his prey
But, in the shadows she must stay, or it will give her away.
Behind a door or curtain she must dwell
Terror and cries will condemn her to hell...
But now, she must flee, so she, can be free
Run away! Run away!
Oh no! She had gone and went astray,
She can't get away.
The sounds of floorboards creak in the dark
His footsteps loud with conviction and stark!
Closer and closer he comes to seek
Fear takes hold, her knees are weak
He's on the prowl with death in sight
She hears his breath and gasps in fright!
He turns and looks! his prey is in plight!
His strike is quick, the blood runs hot
Through his veins, it will not stop
He takes her life with fury and might!    
And now all is quiet in the dark of night.
No mercy or dread
He, has now fed...
His victim is dead
For now,
His victim is dead
Revised~ It needed some changes.
in the misty wood
hoping I'll find you
smiling from behind the trees

We live in this world
And wake, walk, talk and take of it.
We gamble our survival by living here
And breathe and drink and eat and sleep in its shelter.
We seek ourselves and meet each other;
At other times, we thirst and hunger for a part of another's life.
We lust and crave and take pride in ourselves
While we look around for all that isn't ours.
We grab and we ******,
We demolish and destroy,
And forsake this world that sustains us.
We forgo our debts and shrug responsibility,
By walking away from what we have caused.
We leave nought but destruction in our wake
No matter where we go...

--

We are humans who can think.
We are beings with an intellect.
We are capable of communicating with one another...
And yet,
*We wear a mask we never take off...

a young man
heart pounding in his chest
back pressed against cold stone
body covered in cold sweat
peers around the corner
eyes try to pierce the dark

a mother
finger tapping on the counter
hand reaching for the phone
feet twitching to the clock
stares out the kitchen window
eyes try to pierce the dark

a young girl
head buried in her forearm
breath held inside her chest
body filled with anticipation
looks up from her countdown
eyes try to pierce the dark

— The End —
