I sit, watching, as they go about their day
Never looking up to see the world, nose glued
To whatever electronic device they happen to have
A woman trips, but picks up her pace,
Even more hurried, two others sit, chatting,
Seemingly unaware they are not alone
The din of an otherwise empty coffee shop
Is music to my thoughts, and as the hours pass,
I realize, I am just like them

I want to watch the moonlight
Fall gently across your face
I want to feel your gentle touch
As your fingers softly trace
These feelings that surround me
The warmth, I feel inside
The joyfulness, around me
Where safely, I abide
Wrapped within your arms
From night until we wake
Sated forever, and always
With the love our body’s make

Authors Note: We all have those demons hidden away. This poem reflects the triumph over the evil. Words in boldface, at the end of the poem, are the partial lyrics to the song “Slay the Dragon”, written by my dear friend, John Kooch. Used with Permission.
Darkness hides in closets, deep
Awakens, when you’re fast asleep
Lurking in the corners, where
It roams about without a care
Closing in, around your bed
This demon lies, inside your head
Don’t let him get the best of you
Fight! With everything that’s true
“In the dark, behind closet doors
I’ve got mine, I know you have yours….
Slay the dragon, all the courageous are blessed
Slay the dragon, until there are no dragons left”
