Spiral Staircase

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on October 17th, 2015 by LianaIlia

A spiral staircase winding down,
slowly unfolds,
what is at the bottom,
it paints a wonderful picture,

It doesn’t matter,
how big or small,
the stairs seem to be,
it is imaginary,

A kaleidoscope of colors,
swivel down the rail,
as you run your hand,
against the cool surface,

A bell chimes in the distance,
you count as you go down,
slowly and relaxed,
the bell toll twelve times,

There is a window,
about halfway down,
that shows the moon,
it is a bright shade of red,

Quickly,
the spiral gets wider,
and at the bottom,
you let out a sigh… and smile.

Rose in the Dark

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on June 30th, 2015 by LianaIlia

The light that we all seek,
is shrouded in darkness,
so we must fight,
to survive the dark,

The bleak, dying world,
shimmers with black,
until suddenly a rose,
starts to bloom,

The rose is red,
but then it opens,
into a brilliant purple,
it is magnificent,

We must protect,
the one beacon of hope,
the rose,
that bloomed in the darkness.

Photographs of Memories

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on June 30th, 2015 by LianaIlia

This place is like a memory,
it can be forgotten,
but can be pictured,
forever,

This photograph,
that never fades,
is one of my favorites,
to this day,

Bring your photos,
put them in a box,
now it is a box,
of memories,

We lie one life,
so we take pictures,
so someone else can wonder,
who we once were,

The photos are forever,
they never fade,
they are our precious memories,
to this day.

The Light Breaks Through

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on January 9th, 2015 by LianaIlia

There is this little place,
deep inside my mind,
where everything is dark,
until this little crack shines the light,

It cracks just a little bit at first,
and then in a flash,
everything is glittering,
shimmering with light,

The darkness is gone,
there is only light,
searing, golden,
beautiful sparkles,

The shimmering,
glaring, into your eyes,
into your soul,
it pours the light,

My mind,
is now at peace,
it is no longer,
ravaged by darkness, nor pain,

This place is peaceful,
it is pure,
not dark at all,
no, not dark in the least.

Fake

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on January 9th, 2015 by LianaIlia

This life,
it is tearing at me,
breaking me,
pain is beginning,

Time is irrelevant here,
when it is so still,
I could hear my heart,
and it breaks,

Under pressure,
it feels so surreal,
like it’s all a dream,
all fake,

What is life?
blood? Love? Anger?
pain and torment,
ravage on,

When will it end?
this death, suffering?
when can we finally,
enjoy life?

Rescue Me

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on September 14th, 2014 by LianaIlia

On the foothills of my soul,
waiting,
for you to come,
and rescue me,

Please,
carry me out,
of this nightmare,
to save me,

Please don’t leave me here,
in the dark,
all alone,
shivering,

This terror,
of being alone,
frightens me,
to death,

So please,
rescue me.

Mirror Image

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on June 8th, 2014 by LianaIlia

Split in two,
wandering aimlessly,
searching,
for yourself,

There,
in your room,
is an image,
inside the mirror,

A reflection,
a glimpse,
of what was,
haunts your every being,

So you break it,
until it shatters,
and falls,
to the ground,

The mirror image,
of you is distorted.

Bleak Black

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on June 8th, 2014 by LianaIlia

Today it will happen,
when the doors,
of hell open,
we will all freeze,

There is no stopping,
this powerful evil,
that is in our hearts,
and in hell,

It will escape,
form a creature,
called a demon,
of pure blackness,

This blackness,
will seep out,
of every pore,
of our being,

We can’t resist it,
but we always try,
and fail horribly,
to the bleak black.

Battle to the End

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on June 8th, 2014 by LianaIlia

The toll that is upon us,
is greater than anything,
we have ever seen,
in this lifetime,

We must break free,
of all the hatred,
despair and loathing,
to regain the light,

As the light shines,
through the clouds,
the rays warm,
the faces of the fallen,

There must be a way,
to give it our all,
and battle,
until we have won,

This is justice,
this is love,
when the war,
has finally ended.

Broken Shards

Posted in Shadow Lies Within Series on March 26th, 2014 by LianaIlia

When it becomes clear,
the tears fade away,
leaving the shreds,
of feelings on the floor,

These broken shards,
are all that’s left,
of my heart,
so leave them alone,

This is it,
my feelings conveyed,
through the mirror,
they are reflected,

These broken shards,
are all that’s left.
