This Moment is Treasure far more valuable than Gold, Far more Precious than Diamonds, as it will Never Be in Existence Again.

#TBT – Grave Choice #Halloween #FlashFiction

Since Halloween is coming….

Weariness overcame me. Darkness spiraled up from the pit of my stomach, engulfing me, pulling me under, surrounding me. I struggled against it, trying to breath in the suffocating murk, but, like a hypnotic spell, I could not resist the tugging blackness encroaching on my thoughts. Sleep leapt upon me, like a tigress with claws bared, sinking them into my flesh, penetrating deeply, inescapable.

Quiet. Blackness. Sinking. Strange sensations scathed over me. Heaviness. Lightness. Breaking through. Crashing in. Calm tranquility mixed with ethereal panic that left me searching the dimness frantically, but for what I did not know. Light? Breath? Heartbeat?

All was silent. All was Dim.

Fear crashed in on me; a thousand boulders tumbling on my body from out of the dingy night sticking to me, pounding over me without mercy and without ceasing, yet I did not fall. There was no pain, only fear devouring me in the darkness. Echoes of thought whispered from the ebon vastness around me; voices once so bright, filled with life, now empty, hollow, soundless.

What happened to the life that was inside me? Where did my vibrancy go? Try as I might, I could not draw a single breath and the sensation of existing without it was terrifying. Brackish water sloshed around my feet, pouring in from the edges of the darkness, splashing upwards in a slow, inescapable progression; yet my feet felt nailed to the place where I stood. Unable to run, I searched the emptiness around me, horrified to watch the slogging water sucking upward around me, encasing me in icy coldness.

Where was the Light? Wasn’t there a Tunnel of Light? What happened to all the preaching and teaching and reaching from Heaven? Shadows began to move in the deep darkness, slinking towards me in a haze that filled me with dread. Sounds like ravenous animals gnawing bones began to filter through to me. Screeches and cackles more horrendous in sound than any tale from the crypt I had ever heard. Insidious laughter mocked my struggles as I fought to escape the unrelenting icy embalmment closing around me.

Then all went silent as a single voice spoke from the darkness staining itself crimson over my head. I listened, aghast at the familiarity of the tone and inflection. It was my own voice. It was me, speaking out of the past to haunt my own soul and as I listened, bitter tears slipped down my pallid cheeks, falling into the freezing water encircling my chest, my neck, sloshing upward over my chin, my nose, consuming me.

“I have everything I could ever want or need. I’ve got more money than I know what to do with, more influence than I know how to use, and more friends than I can count. ……………

What do I need God for?”

When Dreams Fade Away – #Poetry #Collaboration

.

Shapes of Memories in the Singing Breeze,

Forgotten moments of Yesterday Sighing

As Time unravels in Harmonious Splendour,

Fragments of Intrepidity are flying

Upon the Silken Majesty

Of Russet Autumn turning the page,

Whispers of Unspoken Dreams

Like leaves, once Verdant, fall as they fade.

.Neha from Forgotten Meadows has extended another Collaboration Invitation with a truly beautiful and inspiring photo and writing prompt.  If you feel Inspired, please stop by her blog for full details.   Thank You Neha for joining our Poetic Voices in song!

In the Shape of the Candlelight – #RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry

.

Fleeting in the Midnight Air

Like a Half seen Witness,

Borrowing Time and Elemental Fire

While the Shadows Fall and Twist in Puddles,

Pooling like Dark water in the Shimmering Shine,

Glimmers Sparkle from its Dappled Edges,

Ripples of Magic Stemming from the Curling Waves

Gently Emanating from the Shape of Candlelight

That Illuminates the Midnight.

Touches that Bend Time,

Breaths that Shudder the Surrounding Darkness,

Voices Soft and Hushed in the Whispering Calm,

Waiting for the Paradoxical Moment that Speaks,

Opening the Expectant Promise

In Pale Harmony that Builds before Dawn,

Singing Seductively in the Mystical Magic

Gently Scintillating in the Shape of Candlelight

That Bends the Caress of Time.
