The cool autumn breeze

Carries my thoughts

Upon the falling leaves

As they float through the air

On a journey unknown

He completes me, with a subtle air

That surrounds us both, like a cocoon

He wraps his arms around me, I find

Solace and safety, knowing this

Will always be our lives, together

As close as two can possibly be

We are equal, spirits, lovers, friends

Lifetime partners, sharing hopes

Dreaming of tomorrow, rejoicing

Our world is one, as we are one

A single entity, an unending bond

Dare I? ~ #freeverse #nightmares

Sleep escapes me

 

Dare I close my eyes?

 

Only to fade into the darkness, that
Suffocates my soul, terrorizes my mind
Thrashes against my being, until I
No longer fight it, but welcome it
Draw it further into my heart, let it
Rip me apart, tear at me, and I
Locked in a cocoon of sweat, succumb
To the sweetness that is the night
The passion and desire of the dark
Knowing, eventually, I will awaken…

 

I will, won’t I?

Almost ~ #poetry

I can almost reach it

The place my heart wanders

Where my soul endlessly flies

In and out of the darkness

Happier to hide in the craters

And follow the shadows, then

Watch the sun creep up, as it

Illuminates that famous face

While I, content to remain here

On the dark side, where no one

Can see me, as I dodge the light

Allows me to become a shadow

Blending in with your surface

Feeding off your moon beams

Reflecting, with the stars, gathering

Dreams, listening to my heart and

Realizing, I never wish to go home.

Swallowed by Darkness ~ #freeverse #moon

You disappeared, out of sight

Swallowed by the darkened sky

A sliver, you couldn’t hold your ground

Even Venus, with her brilliance

Was no match for the storm

On this clouded summer night

 

Author’s Note:  I was able to catch a glimpse of the young moon and Venus, until the storm clouds took over, and they disappeared into the night.
