She lies in darkness
Hiding, in her own shadow
Waiting, just for you

The Power You Have – #poetry – #MayWriting

I close my eyes, a flash of light
Kinetic energy splits the night
Over and over, no end in sight
Why does the silence plague me?

No sounds, all thoughts are muted
For this I am no longer suited
Hoping for signs, yet refuted
Looking for someone to save me

Thrown to the shadows, so bleak
Is it the light, I constantly seek?
Body used, my mind, too weak
Letting go, the will you gave me

Turn toward the darkness, unspoken
My spirit is tired and broken
Captured in a tomb, I soak in
The power you have to enslave me

Monochromatic colors

Cover over, in the dark

Moonbeams, casting shadows

Cross the river, in the park

As I stand upon the bridge

Looking up to blackened sky

I see you watching over me

And wish that I could fly

Into your sweet tranquility

Where I can touch your face

Forgot about the world below

Find peace, in your lunar grace

 

This poem, and others like it, can be found in my poetry chapbook “Dark is the night“.

Twilight falls with grace

Gleaming, amongst the shadows

Brightening the night

Trapped within Myself – #poetry #fear

What is that sound,
Outside my window pane;
Tap, tap, on the glass,
But it is not the rain.

Shadows move in closer,
Only fingers do I see;
Trapped in my own bedroom,
He has finally come for me.

No escape from the darkness,
No, this is not the night;
Still, I should make a run for it,
But I’m blinded, by the light.

How can this be happening?
Why pick me, I ask;
Seems my question is complex,
Too tough for his simple task.

Pondering what the next step is,
He seemingly moves away;
Now’s my chance to run for it,
But something makes me stay.

This shadow brings me comfort,
When nighttime offers none;
Perhaps I should confront him,
Instead, I choose to shun.

Be gone with you, I cry aloud,
You are not welcome here
Still, he lingers, knowing,
It’s his presence that I fear.
