Quiet of the Night

This write based on celestial object that are diurnal in active, in this write the moon, stars etc. feel sad because the day light will soon chase away the night. Eyes wink, tears flow Our hearts crow because you will soon go In your presence we glow When you are gone we are less glow You hold our life thereon You are our companion My eyes are dark, I can't cry But the pains therein never die I know you breathe through me You are no more without me But my enemy is potent He will drive me out at all cost Quiet of the night is nought but sad A little more time I will fade Eyes winkle, tears splash We want an end to this We want to own the day and night We want to hold everything tight Make us an incendiary Bomb to retaliate against our enemy Make us a lasting danger to overcome The enemy that you alone can't overcome My eyes are dark, I can't cry But the pains therein never die I know you breathe through me You are no more without me But my enemy is potent He will drive me out at all cost Quiet of the night is nought but sad A little more time I will fade When light does appear Dark does disappear Enemy owns each tool Destinies turn us into a fool Sun does power over days we have no right You own me, I'm the night 8/1/15 www.poetrysoup.com/poem/quiet_of_the_night_696787

I felt your spirit of sadness and approaching loss. Darkness always disappears with His loving light. ~~Darlene

hey this is very lovely! I am curious if you mean Shadow's nature poem contest. I think you have to use all the words she gave in the contest. Like red sunset, etc. I'm gonna go see again because I need to enter that contest too!!
