Best In Darkness Poems

Shaken birds shrill cry across darkened sky, 
Awaken to the biting cold wind howls. 
Taken by flash of lighting pulsing heart, 
Forsaken stretch of night as thunder scowls.

Lost in the darkness, of pounding chill rain, 
Tossed round from the flicker of leaves and trees.
Accost the...

My mind a ship in darkness                                       ...

I dreamed you tonight;
standing on the sheltered
deck where I live,
peering at myriad stars,
reminiscing.
A delicate voice carried 
on warm summer air.
Whispers and soft laughter,
enticing to my ear.
Jeweled eyes glistened, sparkling
like the evening's shimmering stars, 
measuring me.
Soft breaths swept leaves 
into motion,
wafting the air,
touching me.
Glowing ember memories...

How long will this dreary night go on
Seems years since the dawn of morn
Why does anxiety keep me awake
What is this burden I cannot shake

Heartbeats too fast within my breast
Too quickly to grant needed rest
There's no moon above to cast light
This crepuscule gives birth to...

No sounds are made, her world is hushed
She dances in darkness to music not heard
Imagines things that to us would be absurd
Lives in tranquility, where nothing is rushed

Through Braille she lives with fingers as guide
She weaves through valleys, mountains high
She'll never have to witness a...

Draw nigh to the Light my children
                                Tenebrosity fills the night

`

Even in darkness,
when a moonless sky
preaches fear from a pulpit of shadows
pointing elongated fingers…

when walls crumble 
into a rubble strewn alleyway
and graffiti issues spray paint threats
on frantic facades dripping sabotage…

and kindness remains 
hidden away in sealed envelopes,
unaddressed and undelivered,
discarded in bundles of false accusations

Her beauty...

The rain is gone, the sun shines bright,
and the birds sing on the glistened tree.
Pray God forever shows in darkness the light,
for life’s journey on the divine path to ecstasy....

Memory, the annihilation loop in darkness haunts…
this night…a hammer 
old, gun barrel cold
weight of a baby’s head, less a hair
gripping death, tempered fire punching steam 
subtle, dangerous, good in a raucous romp  
popping rivets like teeth, swinging drunk love 
snatching glimpses, mid swing
of faces...

| I Dream Poetry in Darkness and Light |

Unbroken, my light rises like deep alluvion of sweet rivulets,
Craving passions and tragedies like written poetries of Juliet.

In softly spoken words I quell, of streamed sheen of sunbeams and spells.
Where worlds of fallen reality and fantasy live...

Lest sink in 
Darkness! 

Grind my smiles 
Which, remained  
Hidden in your letters and 
Trapping in poems  

Make it a soup 
Flavoring in clamminess dawn, 
Roses shame, and 
April breeze, that restless
 In spikes  

Lest sink in, 
Darkness! 

Present it to you...

The trees wave their boughs like a scarecrow's arms,
dancing to a tune the wind plays.
Unsettling to see in the darkening sky,
their silhouette at the end of the day.

The wind is whispering in ominous tones
as an uneasiness descends over me.
So spooky to watch the trees bounce...

One night  returning  home from the marketplace 
Street lights  suddenly went out.
I could see the road  curving in the headlight of my car.
After driving for some time ,I reached a place
By the side  of a streamlet.
Yet there is no streamlet...

With the pen of the demon ...

  Only the devil and dragons
  can breathe out smoke
  of mouth and nose

  Separate yourself from the dark
  ... and show your face

Creaking floorboards, kettle sighing
while the world’s asleep and dying
In the darkness that is dawning
grows a weed under the awning

Phosphorescent weed of night
makes the shadows of what might -
have been with more of that or this
More courage or less foolishness

A perfumed spell wafts from its flowers
brings...
