S adistic, toying with emotions
A nger settles in, for the night
D isbelief is not far behind
N eedless, self-deprecation in sight
E asing its way, borne of the dark
S unset, selfishly, brings about tears, I am
S ecretly drowning, in my own plight

Space, the lines on the paper
These are the scribbles of the Night Owl Poet
Her never-ending mission
To explore strange new words
To seek out new verse
And new split-infinitives
To boldly go where no poet has gone before
(Cue bizarre sounding music)
I fly through words, origins unknown
As I wander around my place
I’ve tried to use them all, you see
But they clutter up my space
Tossing papers, crumpled wads
Leaving poems, quite unfinished
I’d rather watch the stars go by
As my thoughts have now diminished
I need to leave this planet, Earth
Find a home, where I can survive
Then I can write, about the night
I landed, on Ceti Alpha Five!

I am, forever, a stargazer
A watcher of the night
The stars become my lantern
In the darkness, they’re my light
But there is one who shines
In the sky, such sheer delight
A mighty huntsman, sword in hand
Oh, what a glorious sight
Orion, among the heavens
His distinctive glow in the sky
A belt that shimmers brightly
Three kings, all seated high
Let him guide your journey
You can feel his woeful plight
But mind the tail of Scorpio
Lest you, too, feel his bite
Writing Prompt – Orion’s Belt – Day 17/30

I know not where it is, I should turn
As thoughts inside, begin to churn
An acid, meant to truly burn
A helpless moment, of which I yearn
*
To cast away, the thoughtless words
From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd
To know that I’m not really heard
My patience, buried, now interred
*
Into hopelessness, I need to fight
To end this horrid, dreadful plight
That I endure, both day and night
For where there seems, no end in sight
