For Hallowe’en

I am Cimmerian
dwell in dark places
worship gloom

Mythical mystery
social oddity
thrive unseen

Approach with fear
I will devour you
Curiosity evokes rage

Compassion confuses
might shift closer
then surely disappear.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by VJ

Oh wow: “worship gloom.” That’s striking; intense, even!

Engaging lines. Love this one-“Mythical mystery” 👏🏼
I also used “unseen” in my poem today. Great minds think alike! 😀

  Are we wanting to slink away, or is it a warning, lol? Thanks.

I love how compassion makes the dark dweller disappear.
