Charcoal clouds envelop the sun

Still, she fights, with all her might

Determined, to keep the dark away

And let her soul burn, into the night

Twilight, refusing to allow this

Said daytime could only stay for awhile

But she would not give in to him

For she knew just how to beguile

Igniting the clouds, with a spark of fire

She made her way, through the pitch

Darkness, she enamored, with her light

As the sky she did perfectly bewitch

Daydreaming, thoughts, only of you

While sunlight comes, streaming through

The trees in the glen, where I hide away

And sit here, just wishing, for yesterday

This was our place, to make memories last

Now, it’s my place, of memories, past

I come here to listen, be one with the breeze

Sadness has claimed me, as time didn’t freeze

The moments we had, they’re no longer here

But you’ll stay in my heart, always, my dear

So, I’ll let the sun shine, let it warm my face

As I quietly sit, in this now sacred place

Because, I know, one day, together we’ll be

Until then, I’ll be waiting, right here, for thee

This is my entry for KaylaAnn’s End of Summer Poetry Contest.  I hope you enjoy  🙂  Info for the contest can be found HERE


The fire burned, ever so slowly
We watched, as flames grew high

Each stick thrown into the pile
Seemed to let out a hideous cry

As the fiery mass engulfed it
Soon turned it to soot and ash

Then a chill in the air sent a shiver
A reminder, that summer had passed

Sadly, she was making her exit
All we had were memories to pack

Autumn made herself be known
Now, all we could do was look back

To the warmth of the sunlit days
And oh, how the nights did sizzle

Cooler breezes now come this way
As we watched the firelight fizzle

With the morning sun

Flowers open sleepy eyes

Waking up with day

Night appears and chases day

Stands to watch the starlight play

Noticing one that outshines the rest

Reflecting, a glow, upon her chest

Wraps her in stardust, ever true

She watches, as mountains fade from view

No longer does the sun remain

Darkness, once again, shall reign

As she blends in with the midnight sky

And stars gently twinkle, before they die

For she is the one who chased away light

Beauty now gone, from her blinded sight

Once she was a beacon, to shine the way

Now, in the dark, filled with dismay

Hoping one day, she will shine, again

She can only wait, for she knows not when
