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

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
May Writing Prompt – The final orbit

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

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.
