Premium MemberReveling After Dark

Not built off rose colored rhymes
Rather filth fire and the rot of time

Stories whispered too dark for sleep
Smoky muses begin to slowly creep

Art of the past and possible emerge
Electric waves through fingers surge

Sleep cast aside in favor of medicine 
Rinse repeat but never ever rescind 

Originally cultivated from hardness
Enough room for love and fondness

A Walk In the Park After Dark

I like walking in the park just so long as
it's not after dark 

Because when it is it bristles with
a sordid air of unease and other worldly
risk

So much so even the familiar leaves strike
trepidation and turn giants into fish-moths

And what lunar light is not eclipsed
bends perilously into creeping shadows
jostling for attention with the flickering
street lamp

Don't Get Caught in the Woods After Dark
By: Tom Wright
1/9/99

While walking in the woods one moon less night.
I stopped, but for a moments time,
to collect my thoughts, regain my bearings,
and purge my mind of fright.

Then suddenly an owl in a not too distant tree.
Gave forth it's eerie cry, " whoo whoo ha whoo,

After Dark Night

Good morning mean
Blessing for whole day
And if her smiling face say good morning
It is an extraordinary experience
Her melodious voice speak 
Everything without any noise
Life needs your sunshine
Life needs you in life
Just do your appear in my life
By smiling face say me good morning
Only you are true
Other things are false
So give your goodness to my rise
And

Controlled After Dark

It controls me, I can’t drop it,
It’s a constant battle I can’t drop it,
It’s become a battle, I can’t quit,
It’s taking over my body, bit by bit,

The scars fade, but the memories don’t,
I want them to leave, but they just won’t,
Something that won’t heal,
The only thing to make life real,

It’s an ongoing battle,
A fight I

After Dark

The moon splays its splendor.
Red roses somber in vase.
Subliminal shadows, peaked and sallow,
flicker like windswept, willow flame.
Inscription, on her headstone, illuminated.

After Dark

Neon lights penetrate into the curtains and shed a colorful blast on the darkest of canvas. Leftover food scattered all over the ground. Random newspapers crumbled into a ball at the corner of the room, with dead cockroaches’ legs sticking out. The stained blanket leaks a smell that suggests a combination of pickles and licorice.
