So
Pale her
Skin, so dark
Her eyes. Blood red
Her lips. She watch him
From afar, yearning to
Hold him close and inter him
Within sweet, damp earth enfold him
With her roots. Excervate around his
Soul to take him whole, entomb, bury him.
He
Unaware
Went about
His life unaware
Of her Vampire eyes
Watching and waiting to
Catch him unaware, his life
To sap . His body to cover
And wrap deeply making him hers.
Underneath entombed hers to keep always.

As part of her, Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge this week Colleen has given us the two prompt and words. Dig and Grave using synonyms only. Or as it’s Halloween we could write Halloween story no synonyms needed for that option. I chose to write a double Etheree as a Halloween story too.

A beautiful poem from Jane , perhaps about a parent?
Thinking of you today, still young, never-aging, while I catch up, getting closer with every day and have so little to show for the time spent searching. It would have made no difference to you if I never achieved a thing. You were proud of the potential, and perhaps I should let it rest there too.

This week Jim Adams has set us the prompt Lost/ Found /Hide/ Seek. For our Song Lyric Sunday.
The first song that came to mind was Hide and Seek from Imogen Heap. Imogen Heap is an English singer songwriter who I have loved since my youngest son introduced her music to me in 1998 a year before I broke my back for the first time.
Now I was always taken by her amazing lyrics but what also strikes me about Immie is that not only can she write her own lyrics and music she can also play most instruments from brass , woodwind, strings, piano and drums. She used to dash about on stage using different keyboards, computers and instruments until she cleverly came up with her Mi.Mu gloves explained here.
Well now to the song I chose Hide and Seek. It was released in 2009. Why did I pick this particular song? Well that year I broke my back a second time, I actually smashed it to pieces and ended having three ops and being in hospital over a month. Imogen and her music got me through this time, the long nights the scary days and the threats of a wheelchair. When I came out of hospital I still had to learn to walk again and Immie’s music on my iPod shuffle got me through that time.
In fact I even emailed her and told her how much she had helped me. She sent me back a lovely email, sadly over the years I lost that email 😟
Right I have rambled on enough here is a song that means a lot to me. Here is a live version from her early days
And here is a studio lyric version
This is part of Song Lyric Sunday
And finally for good measure another one from Imogen, You Know Where To Find Me.
