Oly Oly Oxen Free!

~inspired by thriving hope amidst adversity~

1-2-3,

Ready or not,

Here you come,

Initiating a game,

To which I did not wish to play,

In rain of terror,

I hide amongst brittle stone,

Where once stood,

My reigning throne,

Now gunned down,

A zoar for the weak,

The unworthy,

Whose ebbed faith,

Lays smothered in ashes.

Like gripped soil,

I hang on,

To dear life,

While my brothers,

Find eternal peace,

Amongst the rubble.

I cry,

Not in fear,

But joy,

For faith have ears,

That hear the children calling,

“Oly Oly Oxen Free!”

Smile

~inspired by the power of a woman's smile~

Smile,

Keep me guessing,

Your enigmatic façade,

For in your misty hazel eyes,

I hope to be defined,

From your silent lips,

I hear whispers,

All to question,

Beliefs most sanctified,

In your folded palms,

You bear secrets,

Secrets that devour my curiosity,

Secrets that burn through,

The very depths of me,

Ashes,

The tale of man's great demise,

Foretold,

In a smile.
