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!

How unusual dear Sharon to find a darker write from you. A tale and a warning of deception comes in your nicely crafted stanzas. Yes, sadly there are the deceivers in this world and it's not always easy to find out who they. are until the danage has been inflicted. Enjoy all your writes dear friend.

First Dickinson, now Poe! You are versatile! I like this one a lot. “The skinless night kept distance from/All flesh with hardened bone.” Great imagery, even if I can’t quite figure out what skinless night is. I always enjoy your work.
