Life

Life Unknown
By Ginger Hinson

Trepidation Collide with me              
I can miss a feeling, a place
My soul graspingly beholds
An illusionary fleeting kiss for
A life unknown, needed, unknown
Whose phantom touch caress
Molecularly resonates, cutting
My core restraints, my shackles
Loosened by dream's euphoria

Awash with exotic lands painted

Promises, untraveled mountains,

Beaches to soothe the unquenchable.

Diverse people unmet call to me

Enticingly pleading, imploring,

Demanding encounter's raw quest

Screaming...Be Engaged, Be Present

Abandon comfort, Abandon complacency

To the shadows of an unexplored life

Inferno

Naked Inferno
By Ginger Hinson

Lured into my lair
Never to return
The magic of my essence
Perfumes the tense atmosphere
Headily Hypnotizing eager prey.
He quivers as fragrant aromas seep
From tactile pores invading his
Senses with yearning's inferno.
Desire's intoxication confounds,
Thoughts muddled, restraint disperses
To floatation's realm of illogic
The spell casts escape's null options
The captive's soul willingly disappears
Never to be seen again, never to be seen

Captive

Captive
By Ginger Hinson

I am my own prisoner
Contained behind purgatory bars
Erected from self doubt's confusion
Fortified from Illusion's fatalistic coup

I buried escape's skeleton key
Forged from ambition's blaze
Beneath my wavering consciousness
Waiting to pry open infinities fears

Extrovert

Two Sides
By Ginger Hinson

Extroverted Introvert
Outwardly bold, still
Shyness lurks, ready
To retreat into calmness

Introverted Extrovert
Silently sitting, emotions
Churning to shout for
Adventurous displays

Rise

Rise

Bombardment crushes
The mortal core.
Unleash life's burden,
Banish death's tentacles
That wraps, squeezes
Dreams with python strength.

Dig your fingers
Into decay's abyss
Choke the fear, kill
Expectations serpent
With unyielding fortitude
Resist and Rise

Captive

Captive
By Ginger Hinson

I am my own prisoner
Contained behind bars
Of self doubt and illusions

I buried escape's key
Beneath my consciousness
Waiting to pry open my fears

Extrovert/Introvert

Two Sides

Extroverted introvert
Outwardly bold, still
Shyness lurks, ready
To retreat into calmness

Introverted extrovert
Silently sitting, emotions
Churning to shout for
Adventurous displays
