Sandy Bird Poem
I passed a purple door one day while out for a casual walk
Curiosity got the best of me when it began to talk
It said it was a magical door and welcomed me inside
It bribed me with indispensable knowledge if I would abide
Only a brief moment of my time it would need
Just step across my threshold it began to plead
I thought for just a minute and wondered if I should
What really did I have to loose, this might turn out quite good
I clambered up the steps with haste and through the portal I passed
Immediately I was whisked away through a narrow shaft
As I tumbled through the darkness, I faintly heard the door slam shut
A queasy feeling erupted in the bottom of my gut
I shuddered knowing that I had possibly sealed my fate
What an awful mistake I made, I should have opted for a golden gate
I think my soul was taken, had I completely lost my head
Eternity was upon me, filling me with dread
A second chance I dared wish, as a silent scream danced on my lips
A horrible thought flashed through my mind as I came to grips
I should have kept on walking, never going through that purple door
I certainly didn’t anticipate this and regretted it even more
Had destiny played some cruel prank I truly could not tell
All I know for sure that day, I was sent to hell

Sandy Bird Poem
~ EvIL BlossomS ~
I be a garden nymph of bane
My sole purpose, to cause you pain
Toil you must within a garden so bright
I wreak havoc with delight
Something menacing, wicked did I
Just in spite to see you cry
While you slept I dug a hole
I ate the roots in your garden bowl
I giggled while I did the deed
Knowing how I made you bleed
I feed on souls, that is what I take
Pleasure is mine while you quake
All is lost when I appear
All that is left, undeniable fear
(evil laugh)

Sandy Bird Poem
I am but a shadow passing through life
Substance wanes wandering over barren land
The inner essence twists in strife
Flickering light casts its familiar glow
As I cease to exist and meld within the sand
Slipping deeper into the darkness below

Sandy Bird Poem
Time Winds Down
Hear that clicking across the floor
Something waits outside the door
Pull the covers up, under the chin
Hear heavy breath, it really wants in
What beastly creature haunts from below
As the light fades and moon is aglow
Night after night fear it deepens
Strength to fight it slowly weakens
Prayers of forgiveness play on the lip
One day to plan that inevitable trip
Above or below
One never will know
Until one day we return to the ground
As life passes on and time winds down
