She lifts

The midnight sky

With a touch of her hand

Allowing the light to shine through

Morning

As the darkest day ends, fleeing

Seeking newer places

To claim its own

She smiles

No End in Sight – #dark #poetry

I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight

Rendezvous – #poetry #DWP

A rendezvous, in the ebony night

Nothing is hidden, illuminous sight

She sparkles in his shadow, his smile, a shine

In hopes she will come to him, this beauty, sublime

He beckons to her, she draws herself near

Yet she never quite stops, sailing by, in the clear

Of winter’s dark, she’s a tease in the sky

Moon longs for Venus, but she passes him by

 

Authors Note: This poem and others like it can be found in my chapbook “Dark is the night“, available in paperback, and coming to Kindle soon!

Full moon child
Light shines
From thine heart
Floating gently
Across the night
We are one
Hand to soul
Grasp the power
Of the light
Hold steadfast
Until the dark
Is done

Watch the light
Flow slowly by
Breathe it in
Nothing between us
Not you nor I
Can ever stop fate
From beginning
Again

Fear not
The light
That covets
Night skies
Bask
In the glory
Of brilliance
Peace
Comes to you
In celestial sigh
We are
The dark’s
Resilience

Friday Fantasy ~ Sly of the Fox – #poetry – #whatdoyousee?

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Two maidens, quite fair, with the sly of a fox

Take heed when you greet them, too near

Each holds the one which matches her locks

Pick wisely, or else, face a lifetime of drear

She, who holds white, holds the heavens above

Pristine and untouched, by mere mortal hands

She who holds red, holds the demons below

Eyes closed, she drips vile, where she stands

Cloaked as forest foxes, though, easy to tell

Who is who, they still have their ways of hiding

Do you really know, which one you have met?

Think quickly, there is no time for deciding!
