Here is a poem that I wrote back in 2003 for Samhain.
Samhain Night
October 25, 2003
Darkness creeps in
the land quiets down
anticipation of visits
as the veil thins
Relatives long gone
Coming by for a chat
Their spirits are here with us
Closer then ever before
Love ones we have missed
Others we are glad are gone
Those not known to us
All here to visit once more
Witches celebrate
Its the Celtic new year
Time for change and transformation
Time for renewal
Shifting
Changing
Everything spinning
As the Wheel of the Year starts again
Defrost the glacial chill upon my soul
Existence floats by
Upon the ethereal mists
Void of all meaning
Chasms open devouring the heart
Leaving a cavernous hole
Despair
Destruction
They know no bounds
Burned at the stake of my thoughts
Crucified by pain
Lost in the labyrinth
Gloom leaves no trails to follow
The only course is the bloody
Entrails of those who have passed before
Fiends waiting
Watching for a slip
Ready to devour the next prey
Treading a tremulous path
Intent on grasping death on my provisos
My demise will come in its bitter time
Bringing with it
A respite
Waking up with the hopes of new changes
Seeing the dreariness of times ahead
Never changing
Always same
Floating through the motions
Like a ghostly apparition
Sun rising to burn off the fog
Brightens up the dark shadows of the mind
Spotlights on insanity
Highlighting the way
Never knowing where you have been
Never knowing where you are going
Endless misery
Sitting alone in silence
Nothing but my thoughts
Darkness takes over
Chilling my heart
A tear slips down my cheek
Icy trail of salty emotion
Alone and empty
With no where to turn
And no where to go
Silence is no longer golden
It is dark and dismel
It pushes in on my soul
Taking me over so that
I am empty
Devoid of humanity
Just a shell of what
I once was
Where is the bliss I was promised
Its beyond my reach
I see people smiling
Don’t they know there isn’t a reason to go on?
Here is another one that I wrote a few years back.
The Tides of Emotion
© May 2004 Crystalline Spiritwalker
Ebbing and flowing
The emotions roll in
On a beautiful day, softly lapping at the shores of our heart
On the surface peaceful, glistening and shining
However, deeper and deeper you dive beneath
Darker and murkier
Mysterious and yet profound
Unknown lurking
Hidden until the storms rage
Tossing aside calmness
Whirling eddies
Drawing the sinking ship into the vast chasm
Deep within the salty waters
Paddling frantically
Trying to stay afloat
Zoloft becomes your life preserver
Clinging to sanity
Praying to be saved from the shipwreck
