Dedicated to all who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks.  I feel your pain…


My body shivers, at times, it quakes

Hour upon hour, never ending

I think, this must be a grave mistake

And life plays its game, quite offending

I try to be calm, breath in and out

But nothing is working for me

All I really want to do is to shout

Allowing the darkness to break free

But the darkness is my only hope

It comforts me, right to my core

Helping me find the right way to cope

When I’m wondering, what it’s all for

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat

Like the pouring of the rain against this old house

Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world

On shoulders that held more than they should

Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life

Never a complaint, you just went about your day

And night couldn’t come soon enough for you

Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep

Before I even had the chance to say thank you

For making my world a much better place to live

And this I know, as time passes, and days fade

You will always be the light that guides me

Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

She serenades the sun to sleep
With a lullaby, from her strings

Her music floats, into the air
Takes flight, on angel’s wings

It floats among the heavens
On the tails, of passing clouds

As sunlight fades into the night
She is blanketed, with a shroud

Of darkness, it settles over her
Yet, she continues to play her song

Knowing soon the moon will rise
Tis who she plays for, all along

Night appears and chases day

Stands to watch the starlight play

Noticing one that outshines the rest

Reflecting, a glow, upon her chest

Wraps her in stardust, ever true

She watches, as mountains fade from view

No longer does the sun remain

Darkness, once again, shall reign

As she blends in with the midnight sky

And stars gently twinkle, before they die

For she is the one who chased away light

Beauty now gone, from her blinded sight

Once she was a beacon, to shine the way

Now, in the dark, filled with dismay

Hoping one day, she will shine, again

She can only wait, for she knows not when

Invisible light, doth never shines
Darkness, from my window, pines

Call to me, I’ll venture far
Away, from every shining star

Caress me with your ebony skies
Blackened, let the spirits rise

Take this earthly pound of flesh
Into the dead of night, refresh

My demons, let them now escape
Into the shadows, we reshape

The visions of the humans, dreams
Replace them all, with mortal screams

Take them, slowly, through the gate
Fear not, mere mortals, do not hate

The pitch that pries you from the light
Take comfort, in the blackest night

For it summons you, with adjuration
To follow, into, eternal damnation
