Seven days, I blinked

They disappeared

Like the mist of morn

In the cool of autumn

Time collapsed, elapsed

Why is it I missed it?

Was there something,

Something I needed to do?

Forgotten, buried deep

In the folds of my thoughts

Blanked out by the night

As I drift, awake

Falling, into the abyss

Perhaps, perchance

To find what it was

That lingered within

Then suddenly left

Never to return…

Through My Darkest Hours ~ #freeverse #poetry

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

Old and tangled roots

Taking days to breach the earth

Teach about patience

Alive in the Darkness ~ #poetry of the #night

The days, now shorter, as nights grow long

This is exactly where I belong

Alive in the darkness, I find what I lack

My time with the infinite power of black

Raising my spirit, to moon’s glowing light

Eternally grateful, to be one with the night

Empty Tears

I may fade away, like empty tears

I may cry, until they disappear

Like seagulls, as they fly away

Into the set of another day

The beauty, which has passed me by

As I continue, breathe, then sigh

Knowing that my time is borrowed

I pray each day for a new tomorrow

To wipe away these mortal fears

And restore my visions, ever clear
