Twilight reaches for the night
When darkening clouds invade
Covering the last of sun
With thick and dusky shade
Disguised within a blackening sky
Luminous shadows emerge
Eventide, sunset’s light
When day and night converge

I lurk in the shadows
That block out the sun
Long for the hours
When daylight is done
Dwell in the darkness
Tis where I’m content
Hidden, unnoticed
Is how my life’s spent
I am one with the creatures
Who stir in the night
Awaiting the sunset
To silence the light

She floated
from room to room
Her elegant figure
traced on the walls
from the light
of a street lamp
that shone through
an undraped window
She was like the wind
subtle, unseen
a presence
felt only by
the brush of a breeze
I watched in silence
afraid to disturb
this spirits journey

The House on Grayson Place ~ The Disappearance
Hidden under her veil of black
Coat slung over her shoulder
No one sees her, as she moves about
Her clothes, from days, much older
She holds a scroll, in both her hands
Or is it something else she clasps
She watches, as others drift on by
Still, no one stops and asks
Ms. Grayson, hides in the shadows
Where she will never leave a trace
Laughs, at all the village folk
An evil sneer, still, upon her face

Darkness, you are the night
That shines in ebony brilliance
The black that ignites my soul
When I bask in your pitch
Seeking the shadows, your eclipse
Cimmerian in color, distinct
Is the ink of your veil, and I
Your most loyal servant
Find myself, again, aphotic
Closer, to the sunless sky
Uniting as one, with Erebus
