I watch the sun set

In a brilliant blaze

Under a sky of stars

I get lost in their haze

Twilight engulfs

My most secret thoughts

As golden rays bury

My mind, distraught

I am captivated

By glorious, rays of light

That take me from morn

Into the night

While I sit here and wonder

What is to be?

When my eyes finally close

What is it I’ll see?

Will my time on this Earth

Be nearer the end?

Or will I still see the light

As thoughts transcend

Higher, like the swing

Which knows no bounds

I fly, for I am no longer

Planted, on the ground

Into the Void – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

Oh, to lie, on silken sand
To watch your body, ever tanned
Drown my sorrows, at your command
I sink, slowly, into the void.

A fiery heart, to you I’m drawn
The light that shines, erases dawn
Though awake, sleepily, I yawn
Your wiles have been deployed.

Set the night, on full display
Darkness washes day away
You’ve captured me, so I stay
My will has been destroyed.

You toy with emotions, only mine
While in the sand, you draw the line
Dare me to cross your great divine
Tis this night I have fully enjoyed.

Can you tell me, wise old sage

What lies beyond the gate?

Will I journey through them?

And tempt the hands of fate

They say you are the only one

Who can tell my future true

I am here to listen closely

To the wisdom, that is you

In the setting sun of evening

With the stars that shine so bright

I’ll wait here, in the darkness

With you, as my guiding light

I’ll stand here and I’ll wonder

If you’ll ever let me see

What it is inside the gate

That’s waiting just for me

Open Your Mind – #poetry #sunset

A fiery sky to soothe the night

A hint of blue, still seeks the light

Sun sets quietly, trees fade to black

Shading the green, though color lacks.

She paints the landscape, as if to please

When all she really does, is tease

Your eyes, into seeing what is always there

And yet, she knows, you’ll always stare

As darkness reigns, and she fades away

Calling an end to another day

With the majesty, she has presented thee

Simply, open your mind, and let it see
