Eyes that glisten red as blood
Watching in the night
Aware that she is not alone
She spies the devilish sprite

The demon who always watches
Casting shadows in delight
As branches reaching out to her
When she appears from the fiery light

The raven sits upon a tree
Squawking his mournful plight
Of a lady lost to the devil himself
His angel and her dark knight

Dearest WordPress,
I must confess
Lately, you’re playing with fire

The reader, you see
Has lost harmony
Line breaks is what we desire

Words jumbled together
It’s hard to tell whether
The verses are supposed to be mixing

Since I pay for my site
Hoping you’ll see the light
What ain’t broke, doesn’t need fixing

Better listen today
To what I have to say
Trust me, I’m not being coy

Take your Beep Beep Boop
And retire this goop
It’s obvious these changes annoy

The Last of the Light

It is only night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light

Clouds turn to dark
In ebony skies
Casting their shadows
In night’s overt guise
Winds gather softly
Heaving their sighs
Whisked away in a breeze
Back again in reprise

A sweet melody
On the eve, this is night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light

Dancing with the Midnight Sun

Rising in the darkness
The full moon lurks
Slowly giving light
To the blackened core
Of the deepest woods

Night creatures begin to stir
Awakening, they have slept
Through the brightness
Of the summer’s day

Rustling about in the brush
With the evergreens and fronds
In watering holes and ponds
They dance with the midnight sun

Sleep, my dream angel
Sweet guardian of night
Watch over my loved ones
Til morning’s first light

Light their path
With a heavenly spark
Chase away demons
Who lurk in the dark

Guide them safely
Through dreams unseen
Under azure blue skies
Above valleys so green

Keep them close
Tucked under your wing
Shelter their souls
As you let your heart sing

Let them be peaceful
With sunlight’s first glow
As exhaustion sets in
And you sleep til you know

That when you awaken
In the ebony night
You’ll keep watch once again
Til morning’s first light
