Where darkness bleeds its prayers Over my spirit, blinding me With the illusions, the images, Blurred visions of yesterday, betrayed By the silhouettes of promises, Unafraid of the cool, clear skies – Unafraid of the despairing night. Where darkness milks the moon, Wiping out the hopes, the dreams, With reflections of memories, Bold, vibrant hues of shame faced promises, Vowing to be silent as the wind who knocks At the door of starlit floods, flowing Just beneath the surface, Of mysteries, puzzling as insanity. On the verge of darkest dread, doubtful Beckoning to the silence, still As the unmoving ghosts, shadows fading Into the moments, when laughter Wanes and light erases the night’s brooding Promises, with a beautiful beyond words, Beautiful unlike anything I’ve ever heard. Where darkness shines its glistening black, Edged in shades of dejection, Shame faced, the moon risks its light To survey the destiny, beyond what was fate, Just as meant to be as the heart, Who realizes much to late – The dark will fade, receding into the morning, Capturing the dew on the roses, Stirring blessings of sun’s rays in laughing haze, Misty and musical, like a melody, Blazing over the heavens, hesitant Almost as ephemeral as the stars, the glistening Brief as summertime and hesitating, Like the moment when love comes by, And, it feels like – one moment has captured the night, Invited the grace of a heart who breathes… In love’s embrace, there is beauty and peace. There is love that never needs to see… Beyond what it dreams - it seems – together, Slow dancing, together… There is the answer to every need!

Regina this resonates deeply with me for its emotive journey through darkness, hope, and the embrace of love's enduring power. Your poetic prowess shines in the vivid imagery, gracefully painting the interplay between darkness and hope, capturing the human experience in a beautifully articulated narrative. Your poem gracefully navigates the complexities of emotion, seamlessly weaving moments of despair with the promise of dawn and the redemptive strength of love. Wonderful Poem! Happy New Year!
