Different shifts

Desert heat and drifting sand

Snake slithers across the land,

Underneath a burning sun

I see a mirage as I seek and run,

I disappear through a paradigm shift

I look around at this place I know exist,

Full of greenery and fauna

Steam rises and the temperature is like a sauna,

Poised on the precipice of a cliff

Looking outward I see a multi coloured forest,

I venture to see what else is here

Then a new paradigm gate appears clear,

And as I step through into a new state

I find myself in a dark and dank place

In a world of war and ravaged and left now in waste,

Torn flags flutter in the wind

As bodies lay slain, dead or dying,

The smell of death even from this keep

Reaches out and smell truly putrid,

And I walk down a spiral stairs

My existence disappears elsewhere,

And suddenly I am in a oriental scene

So calm, peaceful and beautifully serene,

I sit still and completely mindfully

And in this place I decide to dwell,

Caught up in the spiritual spell,

A place of energy and magic

This world is to me fantastic,

So here I remain in sublime bliss

These are world’s from my own mind creative.

      1. Great.. But that animal n witch related poems were really creepy. 🙊🙊 I did not get scared but they evoked a lot of negativity in me. 😐

      2. Yeah, it’s not stuff I am used to doing. But I try stuff that’s outside my usual comfort zone, inspired by others who write that kind of thing. If it provokes reaction in others like it did you, that’s interesting. I don’t like negativity and so
        When I write them it’s dispassionate for me. It’s doesn’t reflect me or anyone in particular. They are just fiction adaptations not rooted in reality.

      4. That’s what I attempt with my writing, to affect something in my reader, I am always interested to hear what I provoked so your feedback is very welcome and very important. Please continue letting me know what emotions I can evoke within you.
