Amelia on superstar day

I was having a rough morning when I wrote this. Doing better now. Writing will do that I guess.

The Darkness crashes over me as

a tidal wave of dread breaching

even the dykes so meticulously set

in place to stymie such a scourge.

I scream silently at the top of my lungs.

In my own defense, I collapse into

a fetal position, dull pressure against

my chest.  My mind recedes into an

bottomless abyss.  I’m lost in obscurity,

drowning in futility.

I scream silently at the top of my lungs.

Gasping in dire suffocation, I loathe the 

specter eagerly consuming me piece 

by piece.  No longer able to see the surface,

 I give myself up to the torrent.

I scream silently no more.

Halloween is just around the corner!!

Fall

A chill wind drifts 

through the forest.

The trees shiver

 and shed their leaves.

Pumpkin spice lattes

rouse the taste buds.

High school football

on a Friday evening.

Early evening sunsets

bathed in gold.

Sweaters and wool caps

the order of the day.

A chill wind drifts

through the forest.

Mother nature sighs

anticipating change.

Hurricane Florence is just starting to hit the east coast.  The winds are down to a category 1 but over 40 inches of rain are expected and storm surge of 7-10 feet.  

Run away with me to Vegas,

To a romantic get away.

Run away with me to Vegas,

I know just where to stay.

We'll jet across the desert,

On a magic carpet for two.

We'll jet across the desert,

To a love nest for me and you.

We'll arrive there on a Tuesday,

The dates have been confirmed,

We'll party into Friday,

Then reluctantly return.

Please agree to my proposal,

I'll attend to your every need,

Please agree to my proposal,

Say yes to my eager plea.  

XOXOX
