Resplendent – NaPoWriMo

.

Breathless and Bold in the Soft Supple Embrace

Of Shifting Shadows and Muted tones;

 

Shivers and Heartbeats Pounding, an echo to the Silence

Delicately Caressing with Poetic Candlelight;

 

Scented Blossoms of Passionate Sighs lift into the Moonlight

Through Hushed Whispers of Beguiled Enchantment;

 

Watching in the Transparency of Indigo Night,

Waiting in Yearning Serenity for the Resplendent Beauty

Of Your Smile

While Whispers Play – NaPoWriMo

.

Soft

In the Subtle Glow of Moonlight

Sparse

Upon the Seraphic wing

Delicate

Breath caressing Lightly

Tantalizing

Trembles that it brings

Hush

Under the Pale Ebon Shimmer of Midnight

Stillness

In Shivers Unspoken, yet told

Tranquility

Spanning the Glorious Nighttide

Quiet

And Breathless before the Sun’s rising gold

Beguiling

Intimation of Tenderest Tone

Alluring

Temptation of viridian haze

Enticing

Inducement without a single Touch

Captivation

Together while Your Whisper Plays

Those We Do Not Speak Of – Shadows

.

There are many places in this world that have a reputation for being haunted or evil. Native Americans, as well as other ancient cultures throughout the world, name many places as cursed or avoid them because they understand how dangerous they are, but why? Is it perhaps because these places are inhabited by Negative Energy; by demons for lack of a better name? If we Believe there is Positive Perfected Energy, then the opposite must also be true, but what happens to these places infested by shadows and what happens to us when we choose to live there?

Many legends exist of places that are said to be cursed.  Places where multiple murders or endless tragedies have happened across generations among those who have chosen to live on those lands.  These places seem to breed violence, hatred, or despair, which leads those who reside there to desperate acts, but my question has always been Why?  It seems unlikely that family after family, spanning dozens and perhaps hundreds of years, should experience traumatic deaths, illnesses, and other losses; or that violent choices or activities should be the actions of persons who were peaceable and relatively virtuous before taking up residence in such places.

Cursed lands are said to exist across the globe spanning from the United States to Australia, and many of these places are fraught with tales of similar tragedy and death.  Is it perhaps because there is Negative Energy in residence in these places, spawning illness, disease, destruction and death?  If we Believe that Positive Energy seeks peaceful communication and interaction, then must we not also accept that Negative Energy seeks the opposite?  And if this is the case, then, perhaps, the pattern of these condemned and dissolute places comes into focus, as does the reason behind them being condemned and dissolute in the first place.

This may also explain why so many places linger in our thoughts, cause sleep disturbances and even emotional distress when we are repeatedly exposed to them.  Does this Negative Energy cause conflict and turmoil in our own Essence as it does with our physical bodies?  Energy interacts with Energy, so it would seem to make sense that the more frequently we connect and communicate with the Shadows, our Essence responds in kind.  If we deliberately choose to discount or ignore the warning signals our Essence gives us to warn us of the presence of Negative Energy, such as shivers, fear, physical disorientation, and even panic, will we not ultimately fall under the influence of those Shadows disrupting our otherwise Positive Presence?

There are many in the current culture who seek out these places of darkness in order to interact with, or document if you will, the presence of incorporeal Energy, whether it is Positive or Negative, and these “investigators” tend to throw caution to the wind in order to capture proof, but at what cost?  Divorces, deaths, illnesses, oppressions, and other such happenings in these persons lives are hard to ignore; as is the undeniable shift in their personal appearances and personalities (who shall of course remain nameless), but when they speak of repeated demonic oppressions and conflicts in their personal lives as a direct result of what they do for a living, a certain level of credence must be acknowledged, mustn’t it?

To be sure, our curiosity will lead us into the Shadows, just as it leads us to explore the stars in the heavens and the depths of the oceans, but in all other ventures of exploration, precautions are taken and safety is rarely dismissed simply for the sake of “getting something on camera”.  Exploration is as much a part of our makeup or Nature as Energy is and there are many of us who enjoy the rush that goes hand in hand with facing danger, but we do not ride roller coasters without safety bars; we do not jump out of airplanes without parachutes; and we certainly do not stand in front of a raging wildfires without some form of protective gear, thus, if we are going to walk into the Shadows, should we not bear a beacon of Light with us; some shred of protection against the unexplainable in order to defend us.  If we find Positive Energy, that protection is unnecessary, but what if we encounter darkness, shadows and demons?

What sort of protection?  There is only one of which I am aware and it can and will shield you in all circumstances and against All forms of darkness and shadows, but only if you permit it to.  In the Final post of this series, I shall recount an experience I had not so many years ago in one of the most haunted places in the United States:  Gettysburg, PA, and shall explain further about this Protection of which I speak.

The Mirage of Hours – NaPoWriMo

.

Hush the Tide of Silver Whispers

Tracing my Memory from Depths Unknown,

Quiet the Echoes of Velvet Thunder

From darkness through which the Stars

Might have shown,

Brilliance Bending from heights unscaled

Into tepid waters, fraught with fear,

Stilling the Silence that spins and sifts

Through these Acres of thoughts,

Far and Near,

As Time Spans backwards,

And Light Unravels

Moonlight slipping from Nighttide

Like gravel through the Endless glass,

Like waves upon a sea of grass,

Shaping,

Blending,

The Mirage of Hours

From decay to Fragrant Blossoming Flowers.

While Starlight Plays – NaPoWriMo

.

In the Calm of the Lavender Light,

Beyond the frenetic rush of day,

In the Softness that Soothes my fright,

Like the willows that bend and sway,

Amid the Caress of the Beckoning breeze,

That stills my thoughts and Gently Frees,

I Wait in Patience as deep as the Night,

While Tranquil Starlight Plays.

Unhurried Release

Of Euphoric Rush

Of Blissful Rhyme

Blushing Claret, Sublime!

Friday Fantasy – Succubus

.

Softly she Whispers

Enticements Sublime

Lavish Entrapment

Tempestuous crime

Delicately she Touches

Luring the Perplexed

Beguiling Invitation

While looking on to the Next

Temptation Singing

So Sweet, So Pure,

Whispers of Subtlety

The Heart cannot endure!
