Although I have not been posting, I have been writing on and off.  So, once again,  I embark on a challenge that I began in 2016, promising myself to never miss National Poetry Writing Month.  I bring you Day One.

I grasp the air to stop it
Still it fades into darkest night
I reach up into emptiness
But I cannot grab the light

Smoke rises above

As water turns into mist

Coveting mountains

This, too, shall pass… – #dark #poetry

, , , , , ,

I have not forgotten
That I was forsaken
I am simply biding my time
With each moment passing
It simply escapes me
It has no reason, nor rhyme

Hours rush by
Without a second thought
Minutes all jumble together
Sorting it out
Seems worthless to me
Just another storm I must weather

Clouded judgement reigns
Through the ebon night
Scars settle deep in my heart
The power within
Has, at last, petered out
Not sure I’ve the will to restart

Years, again, flash
Becoming a blur
Thoughts, left scattered, unsown
Perhaps for the best
For the sake of my soul
All should remain unknown

Locked away safely
In my own little world
Fighting the storms to the last
Demons unleashed
In a whirlpool of terror
And I wonder if this, too, shall pass.

Glares, thrown like daggers
Impossible to ignore
Oblivious, they scorn with hate
Or maybe they’re not
Wide eyed, they inflict
Successfully sealing my fate.
