Descends Poems

When night descends, the ink of darkness drips over memories

When night descends, the ink of darkness drips over memories,
masks unravel like silk under the touch of the silent wind,
the role I wear in the daylight becomes a shadow that dances,
in the dark, my script unravels like a dream slipping through fingers.
I pretend to be an unyielding rock, shouting this in the face of blinding

December, daughter of winter, descends with a silence that invades my soul

December, daughter of winter, descends with a silence that invades my soul,
Hatred crept slowly and surely into the marrow of my bones, poisoning them,
My breaths release blue beads of carbon dioxide,
Every yellow thought tears at the flesh, a needle lodged in the bleeding heart,
I wished to wear gentleness with grace, but the world covered me
With

When the final curtain softly descends, and the echoes of my days retreat

When the final curtain softly descends, and the echoes of my days retreat,
I want to whisper to the wind that all my life, I was a bride betrothed to amazement,
In the silent embrace of dawn's first light and the whispered secrets of twilight.
I was the bridegroom, holding the world in my eager arms, feeling its

In a world where the secretive shawl of night descends slowly

In a world where the secretive shawl of night descends slowly,
And the sun, bashful, has retreated, incandescent wholly,
Imagine that in the celestial veil, tender you enfold me,
And I, like a leaf in the wind, let your desire to stream through me, freely.
Your arms, like two seas gathering me into their swell,
Carry me to undefined realms

In the secretive Bethlehem, the sacred throng descends

In the secretive Bethlehem, the sacred throng descends,
Heavenly light, on the narrow path of gemstones,
Upon the silvery foam, the gentle angels glide,
Carrying hopes in their hands, onto the land where calmness lies.
Bethlehem arises, bowed by the burden of time,
And Joseph with Mary, humility and prayer on their path,
In the shadow of a withered shelter, breathing

A Friend Descends the Steps of the High Museum of Art

Her skin, pale and fragile
as bone china
protected by a heart
inviolable, gilded threads
weft and warp cloth-of-gold
that flys pennoned from her
shoulders, red hair burning
brighter as she competes
with the setting sun

As Night Descends

As night descends, the heavens celebrate,
The birth of stars
Through the tossing trees,
They send down their toothless smiles
The Moon too smiles with glee,
Like a pleased mother.

The Earth in darkness,
Looking at the illumined sky,
Follows suit and lights up

Street lamps open their eyes,
Flooding the cobalt streets.
Neon bulbs blink from hidden homes
Car lights dazzle like lightning
Glow worms, like night

Death When Descends

Slowly descends pall of death 
And dies the old faith, 
Life gasps for last of life-breath, 
Where a green meadow
Once was, rules death’s dark shadow.

Poet’s note: After a long, long time I had visited my old village. And what I saw caused me a shock. The green hillocks around had turned

When Night Descends

When night descends,
The heavens celebrate,
The birth of stars
Through the tossing trees,
They send down their toothless smiles
The Moon too smiles with glee,
Like a pleased mother.

The Earth in darkness,
Looking at the illumined sky,
Follows suit and lights up

Street lamps open their eyes,
Flooding the cobalt streets.
Neon bulbs blink,
From hidden homes

Car lights dazzle,
Like lightning
Glow worms, like night sentries,
Parade round with

Night Descends

in pale black gown, the day glides~

Joy Descends

Joy
descends
on the road
past unkindness. 
   Yield to God's control 
   once hope's seeds have been sowed,
   you can rest when battles invade.
   As mind and soul seek to implode -
   compose your dismal heart with a song.
Joy descends on the road past unkindness.

Voice your fervent

Twilight Descends

Twilight descends on the surrounding hills !
                         I hear a lonely bird trill!
                The most soulful

Lamet

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 a pawn, no saphead
