Shadow of the Sword
Scared of the shadows
You take my hand
and lead me gently
from the darkness
Still trembling with fear
I hold onto you
Resisting the slight pull
from the invisible harness
For reasons unknown
I trust you with my life
No flare sent up
Perhaps this is infatuation
A desire for something
I have never had
Is it your strength of force?
Or is it an adulteration?
Are you rescuing me
from the ghosts of my past?
Protecting me from evil
So my life will live with yours
How I wish to forget
what I will leave behind
I fear nothing will be resolved
Locked behind dungeon doors

Thanks Jae-lyn. I’m really enjoying photo prompts lately 🙂💕
You are welcome. 😊💓
Beautiful poem! Loved this: “A desire for something
I have never had”
she should trust her instincts about that invisible harness, once locked he may throw away the only key – love this, it creates a chilling story in my mind that is dark and heavy
Yes you’re right Gina! Menacing and dark 🙂💕 Thank you for reading

An uncertain walk in the dark… our future is always that.
