Twilight reaches for the night
When darkening clouds invade
Covering the last of sun
With thick and dusky shade
Disguised within a blackening sky
Luminous shadows emerge
Eventide, sunset’s light
When day and night converge

Barbed and brittle, branches reach
Clawing their way, from the ground
Forgotten, against a wall of stone
No flowers will bloom, no life around
He left them to die, for no reason at all
The only feeling for him, now, is scorn
This human one, who cares not for them
For him, they have blossomed in thorns

This is my entry for KaylaAnn’s End of Summer Poetry Contest. I hope you enjoy 🙂 Info for the contest can be found HERE
The fire burned, ever so slowly
We watched, as flames grew high
Each stick thrown into the pile
Seemed to let out a hideous cry
As the fiery mass engulfed it
Soon turned it to soot and ash
Then a chill in the air sent a shiver
A reminder, that summer had passed
Sadly, she was making her exit
All we had were memories to pack
Autumn made herself be known
Now, all we could do was look back
To the warmth of the sunlit days
And oh, how the nights did sizzle
Cooler breezes now come this way
As we watched the firelight fizzle

I set sail in the night, I’ve traveled for years
Beneath starlit skies, under amethyst tears
Gently falling, from clouds, into the sea
I watch them, slowly, gather round me
And circle about, this mist, in the dark
Creating a wondrous, beautiful spark
Casting their glow, how my boat shines with them
Like the crown of a queen, Heaven’s own diadem
