Russell Sivey Poet Rispetto

Nighttime Cup

The full moon escalates the fears of the night
Leaving shadows from the tall frightening trees
Branches reaching out to the tombstones of fright
Fear envelopes by what people sure believes
The bats scare, ravens bring fear, and moon heightens
Everything in sight the moon laughs and brightens
As the night cools things down, the moon warms it up
Darkness never fully wins the nighttime cup

Russell Sivey

Richard Lamoureux October 28, 2012 at 6:34 PM No need competing with the night, it will always win in the end. At least until the morning light sends the Demons and Vampires packing. Thanks for the veining Chill, if I can't sleep I will blame it on you
