Dayless Poems | Examples


Wilting

Pink snake in murky water 
Feminine 
Bite
scrapes face 
The voices of my children in a video
In early August 
I fear my memory is failing 
But I am so young 
Bruises riddle my knees 
Who hurt me? 
I walk through fog
Dayless daydream

Premium MemberHer Child a Soldier

Her burdened soul, weeps dry tears. 
Longing for the heart of her child. 
A soldier.

Dark treacherous night. 
Hidden plights. 
Sad, saddened life.
Lost again.
Weeping men... Lost sins. 

Forge on, forgiven sights.
And heights.
Quiet stories, unfound glories. 
Oh, the heart of her child.
A soldier.

Dayless sleep, nightless dreams.
Only a man.
Desires arms of peace.
Peace... oh peace, how tragic does it weep.

Hopeful smiles come and pass. 
Again to ravage a life.
Changed.
An invisible cage - holds faith. 
Hope, … anger, … rage, … caged, … at bay.
Visible faces, and unseen places. 
Oh, the truth of her child.
 A soldier.

Her burdened soul, weeps dry tears. 
Longing for the heart of her child... a soldier.

Something About Night

There is something about night
Something I just can,t shake
Something heavier than light
Something very much at stake

From night's deep dye they made
The ebony of my dayless skin
Wheresoever I go I carry a shade
Of the ancient curse of other's sin

And that much night I can bear
It is walking at night that I fear
When someone's standing ground there
Because I do not belong anywhere

The law was made against the night
And it went wheresoever I went
It embodies a deep, deeper spite
Than hatred can conjure or vent.
