BREAKING THE SPELL

A fictional write with evil intent.

BREAKING THE SPELL

The words which danced across the page

Were wont to find a home.

The skinless night kept distance from

All flesh with hardened bone.

The embers from an open fire

Warmed every heart the same,

And gave to some a knowing will...

Which had a given name.

The whispers from a darkened room

Lay soft to break the spell,

While never could I guess his soul

Was sent from hottest hell!

Be careful of the 'friends' you make

And try the spirits true.

For some deceive with clever smiles

With which to capture You!

oooooooooo deliciously dangerous and wicked ... well done! love the story .. i appreciate the use of the language and natural rhyme and rhythm .. what every creative writer wants when using form. i especially like the "...skinless night..." ... surely wish i had thought of it. ;) be well ..stay safe!

lovely poem Sharon. just the right amount of wickedness. always love when a poet slips an archaic bit of the language into play. Not many who would think to use wont these days

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks ever so much kind sir! ~Sharon

Thanks so much my sweetie for your lovely review! ~Sharon

I hope this lovely poem isn’t written from personal experience. But, then, we have all come across people who turn out not to be how they originally appeared. So true to life Sharon.

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks for the nice review Les....and it is strictly a fictional write. ~Sharon

That's good to know - phew!

[Cherrie Palmer]

This lyrical poem reads like an old classic.

[Miss Sharon]

Some excellent phrases Sharon; and fine imagery... be careful who you befriend; as some will deceive you, perhaps those who come from Hell! I really like the opening lines.."the words which danced across the page were wont to find a home"....a sad moment of lost hope....the embers, it seems only warmed some.
Nice write Sharon.
Best, B

The words which danced across the page Were wont to find a home. One of many lines I liked in this awesome poem. Great imagery! Whispers from a darkened room..... You set the mood perfectly and, the ending.....Be careful of the 'friends' you make......" We can say that every day! I enjoyed the read, Ms. Sharon! Thank you!

[Miss Sharon]

Oh that last stanza sent shivers down my back.

" Be careful of the 'friends' you make
And try the spirits true.
For some deceive with clever smiles
With which to capture You!" So nicely it captures how some people can be so deceptive in this world, they want nothing more than to hurt you. Nicely written poem, I liked this!

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks so much for your nice review Aura. ~Sharon

[Aura]

My pleasure!

[Desert Knave]

Been awhile since I have seen you do a more sinister write ... and I like it. Well done. ~Jim

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks so much my 'long lost' friend! It is always a pleasure to hear from you. ~Sharon

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

A profoundly true message that many should heed. Sometimes we blindly place our faith in the devil we know than the angel we should. Thank you Sharon for your poem.

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks ever so much Carlos for our kind review! ~Sharon
