HEAVEN



Rijksmuseum Library

Shelves to the ceiling.
Ladders to reach high.
Tables for my books.
Chairs to relax in.
Lamps to give me light.
Quiet for my thoughts.
A slice of heaven.

THE DEAD GAME



THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist

Like thorns on a rose, 
the town of Oasis appears 
peaceful during the day. 
But at night,
its thorn are revealed.
The Dead roam 
the streets of town. 
Follow them 
to their wild parties. 
But be careful
you don’t become one 
of the lifeless bodies 
found on the beach 
come morning light.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

Nothing more perfect
than a day at the beach.
Nothing more serene
than the rolling waves.
Nothing more peaceful
than hot tropical sun.
I want to be there.

A PLAN


Why am I never at a place like this?
Why am I always in a dark room typing?
We all make our choices,
and I have to live with mine.
Maybe…
Too many ‘maybes’ in this world.
I need one ‘could’,
and then I’m off to the tropical island.
On the way, I’ll throw my computer
into the depths of the blue, green water.
Sounds good to me.
Sounds like a plan.

INVISIBLE PRESENCE



Waves drumming softly
on the soft shore.
Green and blue swirls,
creating a rich palette.
Dolphins skipping
along the shore line.
Nothing more perfect.
Nothing more serene.
But whose footsteps are those?
Footsteps appearing
on a deserted beach.
They are moving closer
with their invisible presence.
Can it be true?
Can this oasis be haunted?
Can I outrun them?

HIS PLACE



The sun begins to set.
There are scurrying sounds
as the animals prepare for the night.
But the old elephant stands in his place.
He doesn’t need to move.
He has everything he needs
right in front of him.
He keeps a watchful eye
on the other animals.
But he stands in his place.

INVITING




Inviting.
Serene.
Peaceful.
Waves lapping.
Sun shining.
Tourists frolicking.
Palm trees waving.
Until the night.
Oasis changes.
Shadows move.
Bodies appears.
Wind cries.
The Dead party.
In the night.
All night.

A HAVEN NO MORE

A peaceful town.
High-pitched chirping 
Slices through the silence.
The town hall offers 
Shelter from the storm.
Hail flies in the increasing winds.
Rooftops sail past them.
We run through the hall’s doors
On the wave of a tidal storm.
Darkness greets us.
Flapping sounds surround us.
Windows shatter.
Flying creatures stream in.
Human faces on furry bodies.
This night the town will fall.
