She seeks the darkness, it draws her

In the eyes of the raven, she finds

A look of the one most enchanted

Of he, who plays games with her mind

With wings as black as pitch, she lands

By the old gnarled tree, in the wood

Anxious to questions those who take stand

Do they know whether or not she should

Seek out the mysterious one she feels

Each night, as he calls to her heart

But they refuse to answer her plea

And in the rise of the dawn, they depart

The ice in autumn’s air, sets my heart on fire

You keep me warm, through the ebony night

Though merely a crescent, my heart’s desire

To see the glow of your face, my guiding light

The Dream of All Dreams – #NovemberWriting #poetry

In the midnight sky,
On a bridge that goes nowhere
A light cast its singular glow
And I followed its radiant glare
There, at the end of the platform
A tunnel did appear
In a heart shaped pattern
Against the darkness, ever clear
No matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t see beyond
I called out, into the blue abyss
But no one did respond
As I got closer to the end
Of the narrow wooden planks
I realized what was calling me
Was simply just a prank
Into the ebony sky, I fell
Nobody heard my screams
I am forever lost, inside
This horrid dream of dreams

A Day of Denial – #NovemberWriting #poetry

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Tis a place I find myself lost in, quite often
This place where evil thoughts permeate air
Unsettling, the words of love, do not soften

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
The depths in which I throw about these fits
There is no caution to the wind, no stop sign
I just continue to lash out, as my time permits

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Though at times, I wish to only see the light
That weaves its way through the gaping holes
Left here, in this place, for me, by the night

Spirits beckon you

Hail the feelings within

Fear not the darkness

For it will echo through you

When the night becomes alive
