John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Dawn's Darkness

And thus it seems
That all my dreams
Were not but foiled
Twisted schemes
Betrayed by daybreaks
Lying light
Disguised
As memories
Less bright

And yet the darkness
Does pervade
My troubled dreams
When on parade
And truth it seems
Has lost its edge
As its wingless
offspring fledge

For there are moments
That I dread
Moments rewritten
In my head
Troubled attempts
To now erase
The truths I know
Yet cannot face

Gershon Wolf December 28, 2024 at 8:11 PM Excellent penning, John... Seems as if your 'dark side' is predominating lately. Comes with the short days and gloomy weather, perhaps. ~ Staid N. Bedd

Michael Tor December 26, 2024 at 7:49 AM So gripping John to not be able to face moments that you dread, trying to erase the past wrongs. I sense the Conscious is taking over... thanks for posting John. Wishing you a healthy, safe and better New Year...
