Dank, dismal, dark days
Dreaded and disregardful
Dreary by design

Hidden where the spirits loom
Their shelters torn and tattered
Ethereal beings meet their doom
Lost souls about are scattered
Perched upon her marble tomb
Her body broken, battered
No pleasure left, all consumed
A life once whole, now shattered
In the dank and misty gloom
The shadow of a figure lies….
….Darkness prevails when an angel dies

Peaking round in darkened sky
He keeps himself obscured, but why?
Hanging so freely, in the night
Yet only shares his partial light
Enough to let you see him there
Enough to know he’s quite aware
That on his deepest, darkest side
Are secrets kept, those which he hides
Away from the sun, they’re never seen
Sharing only the glow of his golden citrine
Allowing him to linger, in color, so grand
A light in the sky, the heavens high command

Flashbacks, and yesterdays, things that should be
forgotten, but are not, unexplained, pushed away
from what you need, only to find another place, to hide
blanking out pictures, sepia nightmares that won’t subside.
Colorless figures you run from, don’t look behind, they’ll find
you, tucked away, in the dark, you breathe, the only sound
and as footsteps echo through the hallway, doors open.
Hold your breath! Eyes shut! Don’t let the monsters in!
