Dejected to the Core - 3WW CXLVIII (darkness, patronize, weaken)

At times the darkness
patronized her mind
her weakened judgement
tantalized by time

Mythic gods of anger
in darkness and in light
attempt the soar of angels
disguised in fancied flight

Come down the weakened staircase
inside chronicles of lore
Her mind is lost in darkness
and dejected to the core

Where in the World - Sunday Scribblings #173

Looking past the crackling fire
a boy stands tall and asks his father
Where in the world is my first time?

A man wrestles thoughts in storied battle
Torn from page and whiskey bottle
Where in the world is my next chance?

A woman cries in soft reply
to only daughter's questioned sigh
Where in the world is my last dance?

Blue eyed child in a grown-up way
looking for a closure to a tortured day
Where in the world is my blue sky?

All mankind it shrinks in fear
the cellophane's finally formed a tear
Where in the world did it go awry?
