Shadows creeping through the mind
Leave a mystery to unwind
Where silence has been rooted deep
Twinges of color slowly expose themselves
Blackness grabbing it back
Suffocating the wondrous hues
Words silenced from times lost
Memories float on endless air
Being pulled back into the dark
Visions reel before closed eyes
Blurred by scars left deep
Horror seeking and holding secrets
Sleep on while the shadows creep
Await them as time turns its spell
Waiting to devour the new that will come
Shadows will reveal the secrets one day
Fear will leave in its time
Colors and words will return as light appears
March on victorious and strong
Morning will claim the long night
Shadows will be caste aside forever more

- I'm just a simple woman, with plain talk (what you see is what you get). I believe in God, Country, and Fellowman till deceived.I'm proud of each of my children and love being a Grammy winner with the grandchildren, I've lived a little and a lot depending on the angle from which one views life. My favorite saying is ( It isn't easy is it), which life has taught me well.

This is a bit surreal and spooky. It sets a great mood for this time of year around the Halloween season :) I like the rhyming of the 1st two lines, and see another rhyme line that could be here:
"Shadows creeping through the mind
Leave a mystery to unwind
Where silence has been rooted deep
Sleep on while the shadows creep."
Hope you don't mind I did that :)
These kind of dark and spooky poems are fun!

This is a little surreal. my favourite thing of all. Carolyn's right. A little spooky and definitely dark. Love it.
Thanks Easywriter, you never know what secrets my mind holds. Are they real or imagined? :)
