In your dreams,
those vicious hunters stalk,
collapsing the bridges between
reality and the unknown.
They cling to your fears
like maggots to a corpse
feeding, growing, thriving.
Trapped in their world
till the dawn free's you of their grasp,
they control your existance
and own your soul.
(Part of an old gr 11 poetry project)
Whispering winds blow gently through the willows.
The dew settles like tears on the grass.
The distant sound of waves crashing on the sands
echoes on the warm, early morning air.
She awakens and breathes deeply
hoping to catch a piece of that warm sunshine
and perhaps to keep it with her
through the dark, lonely nights to come.
She arises and eats, alone
walks along the shore, alone
and sits under the old willow tree, alone.
The cold, dark night descends
chasing away all of the warmth of day.
She lies in bed holding a picture
for love can be lost, but not forgotten.
