Best Descends Poems

A spent sun shimmies down a sanguine sky,
into the ebony blackness of space.
And birds roosting in trees no longer fly,
while a ghost moon rises to find its place;
smiling down on Earth with a friendly face.

Chameleon clouds, crimson, and cerise,
graze the horizon like woolly pink sheep.
And...

 the sun has just set
in pale black gown, the day glides~
tranquil lies nature

The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak.
The light for which I lust for flares once, 
Then dies, swallowed by the abyss.
All hope perishes,
My heart beats no more.
How could you not understand,
My dark thoughts surround me, crying.
Save me from myself....

Blue morphs into a misty grey
within twilight's surreal light.
And dusk dissolves daylight away,
shading silhouettes inked by night.

Scarlet rivers flowing blood-red,
spill over the horizon's edge.
And as a crimson sky gets bled,
vermilion tints the mountain ledge.

Day acquiesces to the night
as darkness descends on the earth.
And stealthily slips...

clouds give birth rain drops that matured into extinction against the lake....

In one quick flash, while humankind rests
poisoned rain devours, seething like burnt fume...
that all the world like raged Babylon screams

when Fourth Horseman, on a knifed eve, descends
shrouded by darkness, rider now earthbound
collapsing stars and trees on ghastly stead,

lungs haemorrhage in terror of night’s tide
found in...

The sun ascends, the sun descends
Leave me alone, loneliness
The morning mourns bitterly – the hummingbird’s song mends
The stranger holds in his distress
The singer hesitates and sings no more 
Her eyes are bloodshot
Illuminating sun spreads sweat upon me like butter on toast…
The sunrays hit me to...

Burning eyes in the darkest night; sear through the moonlights rays.
In the distance, a mournful howling; cracks the air, in two.
Transformation complete; the quickening carnivore descends!

indigo sky
now tells my soul
goodbye the day

stars twinkle bright
as twilight falls
the night creeps in

twilight descends
as night lends voice
it mends my soul

As night descends
God's paintbrush colours the night sky.
As night descends
purple, pink and violet blends.
An artist's mural floating by.
Beauty to bring tears to the eye,
as night descends....

Darkness Descends


The Prince of Darkness beckons, as you slowly suffocate...
And demons devour and await, you’re sacrificial screaming soul...

The crow caws amidst the noxious nilpotent night,
Perched upon tombstones that drip with blood and pain...
Barren breaths amongst the ambient anguish of the lachrymal lost,
The air stale with...

I watch as white falls from the heights 
Where clouds of grey control the sky
The ground below no longer dry
As snow descends into our sights

The April air no longer warm
For winter rears it's blizzard head
The grip of spring for now is shed
As snow descends upon...

As the sun slowly sets beneath the horizon
the world starts to turn to night's darkness
the shadows gradually lengthen then fade
and a stillness covers the land with mystery

This is the time for the creatures of night
the badgers sniff the air before leaving their sett
then come tumbling...

Onyx cloak
of sunny day's baroque
lay velvet on the breast of each day,

gently caress each curvaceous earthly display 
with night tones of diamond stars, a queen's array.

Diamonds of champagne sing amends
to onyx night.. as friends
dark descends.

Lamet!

is what she hears first
him, screaming her second name
as he descends upon her
no time to process
gravity
a thud, tearing her core to shavings
Maiweeeee! She is puzzled.

His baritone dropping the 'n'
agitation
a wooden scrabble.
Nothing is left between her
and Pee, not a grain
all’s crushed
smothering their screams
interlocking their groans.

He is...
