pen-428266_960_720I am an artist

Whose paintbrush

Flows with the ink

Of pictures written

On a canvas bare

Letters in perfect symmetry

Romancing the palette

A portrait in verse

Melancholy

melancholy, moods, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, sadness

There is no answer to
Her more than somber mood
Shadowed by sadness
Overwhelming , unexplained

Missing pieces
Scattered about
Just out of reach
Baring a soul
Taunting its very being

And she struggles
With effort to break this gloom
Never giving up, fighting
This mournful feeling
She cannot let capture her resolve

Friday Fantasy ~ Lost Soul

angel, demons, devil, fantasy, Friday Fantasy, Lost Soul, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry

Eyes that glisten red as blood
Watching in the night
Aware that she is not alone
She spies the devilish sprite

The demon who always watches
Casting shadows in delight
As branches reaching out to her
When she appears from the fiery light

The raven sits upon a tree
Squawking his mournful plight
Of a lady lost to the devil himself
His angel and her dark knight

An Open Poem to WordPress

An Open Poem to WordPress, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, reader, unhappy client, WordPress

wordpress
Dearest WordPress,
I must confess
Lately, you’re playing with fire

The reader, you see
Has lost harmony
Line breaks is what we desire

Words jumbled together
It’s hard to tell whether
The verses are supposed to be mixing

Since I pay for my site
Hoping you’ll see the light
What ain’t broke, doesn’t need fixing

Better listen today
To what I have to say
Trust me, I’m not being coy

Take your Beep Beep Boop
And retire this goop
It’s obvious these changes annoy

The Last of the Light

clouds, night, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, shadows, sunset, The Last of the Light, winds

It is only night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light

Clouds turn to dark
In ebony skies
Casting their shadows
In night’s overt guise
Winds gather softly
Heaving their sighs
Whisked away in a breeze
Back again in reprise

A sweet melody
On the eve, this is night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light
