The Perilous Realm

   The knights ride off into the valley
Knowing that they may never return
Their hearts are heavy as they leave
Filled with much concern

For there’s a thousand obstacles to
Overcome and a thousand ways to die
They must slay the Dragon and return
To the King with the Dragons eye

First task is to make it through
The valley of the walking dead
Knowing as they travel many lives
Will be lost and much blood will be bled

They must also survive the beast of the
Forest of the demon shadows
So they stop to pray and vow to
Honor their oath of the sacred rose

The kingdom is dependent upon the
Knights, the Dragon must be destroyed
For if the knights fail life in the kingdom
May become a thing of void

Their quest is to catch the Dragon as he
Sleeps just beyond the ancient elm
In his cave at the top of fire mountain
So begins the journey of the perilous realm

Suddenly

    They were strangers at the same party
Their eyes met, love at first sight suddenly
Wedding plans were made and a month
Later they were married so suddenly

Their love was bliss and it didn’t take
Long a positive pregnancy so suddenly
They were so happy with excitement
And anxiety everything coming suddenly

A house was bought and they moved in
Nursery complete so suddenly
She’s going into labor he’s at work
And they call get to the hospital suddenly

He hears over the phone there’s complications things going wrong suddenly
He’s driving as fast as he can
He must get there suddenly

He prayed don’t take them from me
If you need someone, take me suddenly
And a semi runs a red light and hit him
Broadside and it took his life suddenly

And a cheer was heard loud in delivery
Momma and baby are doing fine suddenly
And someone had to tell mamma the
News and everything changed so suddenly

Our lives so precious, so live and love
And change your life suddenly
For life is too short and temporary and
In the blink of an eye it can end that suddenly

Reign OF Terror

      In the narrow London streets
In the heavy mist and chill
In the thick London fog, he’d hide
In the shadows and move in for the ****

With the dusk comes the breeze
Your hair rises is the killer near
In the night hear the screams
In your veins feel the fear

His victims, Annie Chapman, Mary Ann Nichols, Frances Coles, Elizabeth Stride,
Alice McKenzie, no matter how carefully
They tried, from his wrath they couldn’t hide

London Police were left Baffled
They dubbed him Jack the Ripper
He was swift and smooth
There was no one slicker

For even with every clue and every lead
His evilness was free from error
On the narrow streets in the London fog
During his Reign Of Terror

His Reign of Terror lasted for three months
Started on August 31st in 1888
And it’s believed that there were actually
11 Victims and to this day technically
They’re still unsolved.

Dazed And Confused

       It’s all different but yet the same
I feel like they did it as a game
How could it be so easy to be mistaken
I know it’s English but feels Jamaican

It always comes down to pronunciation
Sometimes it might seem like flirtation
When it’s really nothing like it at all
Things can quickly begin a free fall

She wound the bandage around his
Wound for the boy was hurt
Meanwhile the soldier decided to
Desert is tasty dessert in the desert

The wind was too strong to wind
The sail around the mast
He thought there’s no time like the present
To present his present for it was time at last

It’s all different but the same and
I hope I was able to keep you amused
But as for me it’s things like this
That keeps me dazed and confused

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Impermanent Universe

  Like a river flows, life moves on
A moment comes and the moment is gone
In that moment did you shine
Did your heart give love, was it genuine

Or like lightning did you strike and burn
In your heart did hatred churn
Did you play a part in the Devils role
Did your darkness consume another soul

Like a song bird so beautiful when it sings
See the beauty that love always brings
If there’s something bringing you down
Only you have the power to turn it around

Like reading a book we must turn the pages
If in our hearts our anger rages
Because like a stone causes ripples on a pond
We are all responsible for what we spawn

For every moment we hesitate
It never changes the hands of fate
We all get what we give
And our lives we cannot relive

It’s your story that you’re writing
Why fill the pages with fussing and fighting
Everything is temporary, there’s no reverse
In this Impermanent Universe

Frozen In Time

   Full speed ahead into the future
But the future spells disaster
For the past is catching up
And it seems to be moving faster

The Civil War pitted brother against
Brother and father against son
So many families destroyed and so many
Lives lost when it was all said and done

Recent events shows that the Devil
Is yet again up to his ***** deeds
How easily we humans are deceived
In our minds he plants his hatred seeds

And the future is whisked into the past
Is there nothing we can learn
Now they want to erase history
Riot and watch their cities burn

Our present is hanging in limbo
Hear Hells Bells as they Chime
In space our world turns
But it’s frozen in time

   You say you’re Spiritual, yet you say you’re
Overwhelmed and suffering badly
You might ask yourself questions,
Seek the answers, for I find it sadly

Spiritual is left to interpretation
And it leaves the window open
Maybe if you closed it, your heart
So fragile may be left unbroken

For Spiritual is for all spirits
The good and the demon evil
This could be the reason for your demise
Leaving your heart and soul in upheaval

You commented on one of my religious poems
It was rude and it had tones of negativity
My response was genuine and kind
With nothing but positivity

Again you responded with rudeness
And warned for me to no longer respond
This is the evidence of demons
Your spiritual open window has spawned

I will continue to pray for you
Your hatred cannot reject my love
For I follow Jesus and he sends
His peace from Heaven above

I say if you wish no response
May you not comment first
Because in hindsight it’s evident
Of the demons thirst

You can continue to be you
And allow me to continue being me
I refuse to get wrapped up in your darkness
Because by Jesuses light I see

I’ve had my own darkness and from it
I am free, I offered you kindnesses
But your heart is full of rage and hate
Which is more evidence of evil blindness

I truly hope that you will find your
Peace and a way to escape your dilemma
I pray Jesus fill your heart with his warmth
Peace and love, Sharon Victorine Miedema
