Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

Twilight

Is that you there 
I recognize that stair
Those eyes of a faraway dream
Fancy seeing you here, on this twilight day 
While walking along this 
Sterile bay…

Just watching the glassy water 
Reflecting, this twilight day
A great time to be out 
No fear of the burn 
Of a tyrannical sun
A nice balance of shadows
Light, a gray twilight day?

Where we are safe, I must say...
Yes you know, oh and by and by...
The way my hunger is at bay 
If only under tremendous pain
But the fiery veins of your neck call 
My hunger needs but, I must keep and only, tip
My hat n walk away in this twilight day 

Nice to see you n your lovely wife 
She could be a treat tasty, fresh a delight
But I can wait for the shadows to play 
I may come to visit for tea, a bite? Ha!
Too right! Don’t take stock in that crucifix...

So ironic don’t you think, but quite now 
Listen, I must think...of the conflicts
Do you hear the sweet sounds of the doomed
The howls of the wild beasts 
The music from the holly cost?
The infernal and the damned...SOON!

Well? Until til we meet again in these twilight days 
This delicate gray light of doom 
Ash drifting in strange currents 
As I will dine on your fears
Drink your moral tears 

And bath in your life 
So un-till then, may me meet again 
During the grey noon!
And dine on the lives of the insanity 
Welcome to this twilight light 
This time between frozen realities
On the fringes of forever and ever
As we sit in this doom light 

Of proto-apocalypse
So hello, here you are witnessing the eclipse 
I recognize that stair, those eyes of far, far away dreams, 
Fancy seeing you there, on this twilight day 
While walking along this sterile bay, 
Just watching the glassy water reflecting 

This twilight day is a great time 
To be out, don’t you think? No! Not the crucifix

No tyrannical sun burning...no conflicts
Nothing to fear but the turning...

Only, going blind 
in the grey night 
of twilight!
