ON MY SHELF


Who sits on my shelf
each and every night?
Who casts long shadows
on my shelf and wall?
Not there at day
but only at night.
I move closer.
I must see what it is.
A hooded figure,
its face lifting to me.
The hood falls back
to a face as dark as night.
Eyes shine red,
burning a hole right through me.

WAVES ARE CHURNING


The waves are churning.
My face is burning.
What’s coming for me.
I don’t want to see.
It rises from the deep.
When all are fast asleep.
The Dead come ashore.
For me they’ve come for.
There’s nowhere to run or hide.
I refuse to take their side.
The Dead will not win.
They’re dripping with sin.
THE DEAD GAME

WINTER BLUES




The landscape is cold and bleak.
I’m beginning to feel weak.
Ice is melting in my shoes.
I’m getting the winter blues.
I can’t find my way out of here.
I had thought the town was so near.
I’ve been walking for days.
I’m in some kind of daze.
There’s a break in the rocks ahead.
I hope they didn’t leave me for dead.
My friends have to come back for me.
Rocks and trees are all I can see.
My friends are in the park playing ball.
I didn’t have to be afraid at all.

DEEPER




Deeper I go.
Into the forest.
Where no one treads.
No one who cares.
The trees cover me.
The grass cushions me.
The light is up ahead.
It calls in a sweet voice.
I follow.
I look up.
The voice turns to a shriek.
I turn to stone.
