Sleep escapes me

Dare I close my eyes?

Only to fade into the darkness, that
Suffocates my soul, terrorizes my mind
Thrashes against my being, until I
No longer fight it, but welcome it
Draw it further into my heart, let it
Rip me apart, tear at me, and I
Locked in a cocoon of sweat, succumb
To the sweetness that is the night
The passion and desire of the dark
Knowing, eventually, I will awaken…

I will, won’t I?

I can almost reach it

The place my heart wanders

Where my soul endlessly flies

In and out of the darkness

Happier to hide in the craters

And follow the shadows, then

Watch the sun creep up, as it

Illuminates that famous face

While I, content to remain here

On the dark side, where no one

Can see me, as I dodge the light

Allows me to become a shadow

Blending in with your surface

Feeding off your moon beams

Reflecting, with the stars, gathering

Dreams, listening to my heart and

Realizing, I never wish to go home.

Let me melt away the pain

That lingers on my skin

Let me release the sorrow

I hold, so deeply, within

Inches of this body writhes

As I try to hold it all together

But fate has dealt a mighty blow

And this life, I have to weather

Agony has set its pace, still

I continue, with all my might

To chase away the darkness

Choosing only to see the light

Sunlight Burns the Night ~ #poetry

Charcoal clouds envelop the sun

Still, she fights, with all her might

Determined, to keep the dark away

And let her soul burn, into the night

Twilight, refusing to allow this

Said daytime could only stay for awhile

But she would not give in to him

For she knew just how to beguile

Igniting the clouds, with a spark of fire

She made her way, through the pitch

Darkness, she enamored, with her light

As the sky she did perfectly bewitch

You disappeared, out of sight

Swallowed by the darkened sky

A sliver, you couldn’t hold your ground

Even Venus, with her brilliance

Was no match for the storm

On this clouded summer night

Author’s Note: I was able to catch a glimpse of the young moon and Venus, until the storm clouds took over, and they disappeared into the night.
