Zeus’s storm

His beacons pierce night

Through clouds, thick

Unsettled

Poseidon balks, unamused

As lightning strikes deep

Before My Storm – #poetry #sadness

#poetry, clouds, dorindaduclos.com, hopelessness, loss, Night Owl Poetry, poems, sadness, storm, writing


Once bright, turns to gray
Sun diminishes, fades away
Although I beg, it doesn’t stay
No desire, to keep me warm

Clouds scurry, across the sky
I watch them, as they race by
Darkness falls, tis then I cry
While shadows take their form

Hidden deep, but I can see
The anguish pent, inside of me
I let go, release, alas, misery
Knows nothing of the norm

Though try I might, I find no hope
Why is it that I cannot cope?
I’m holding on, yet, lose my rope
There is no calm before my storm

When the Storm is Raging – #poetry – #SeptemberWriting

Fingers crawling, cross the sky
Grasping shadows, as they fly
Without care, they go awry

In the darkness, lights, adorning

When at last, the dawn of day
Awakens where it longs to play
It’s decided, it cannot stay

Gone quickly, before morning

Yet, to return, and start anew
Fingers twisted, turned, askew
And we know not what to do

Its evil deeds, suborning

Alas, the storm, is surely we
And we watch, but never see
What has become, of you, and me

Best to heed its warning

Beacon

Shines through

The stormy sea’s rage

A light in the dark, salvation

Refuge
