Lurking Dimness

Sky above crimson and spotted like a lantern fly After the setting of the sun inspired to pull out a fan bush and dabble Hastily dash away at the canvas of its vexing black yonder Illuminated only by the faint flecks of the soul’s perpetual outer fortress Speckle happy trees to shield from the heaviness of invasive inner thoughts Among the foliage looms shadows that wander with bright yellow eyes Rustles in the wind unseen; yet its presence is known to prickle Use fiery red mixing of paint to blot out the tingling yearning of pervasive darkness Deep within its dark green forest canopy Secretly relish to diminish all longing of sanctity Lurks within mediums to stop the feverishly shiver that crawls hot beneath the skin Slick onyx rivers reflecting the moonlight’s ominous embedded bleakness Threatens to evade and scramble the furnace’s bestowed eternal light Furiously rock until calm and armed with only the astonishing passion of poetry Showering it’s gifts of dripping scattered meteorites of glistening premise Shedding luminous hope to starry eyes Bitterly inhale chilly lines of the jumbled past to exhale hungrily the dazzling quiet art wonder Of a life that does not go simply into the night
