Ebony Crossbones Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lights shining brightly in my mind, giving an exceptional
vision and quality in peaceful avenues of exploration.
Tending to lean more towards quieter intents, yet calmly
leading ways into traumatic sections of mind-altering
pictures, prepared from childhood and preserved for the
adult in me to interpret.

Giving off auras, colorful, yet dismally filled with
blackened ebony crossbones, allowing no entrance into
catacombs of dire consequence.
Appalling memories set against innocent meanings, fill my
mind with extrasensory perception and I cannot leave them
behind no matter how hard I try.
