We count on this feeling. 
Spin around like a speck of nothing.

Gideon Stands Guard

...The moon, a charcoal smudge, hangs low and dim,
while stars, like pinpricks, pierce the black night.

A Night In The Middle Of A Night

...you are allowed to bring two items with you
and then you’ll leave forever
we’ll be back, that’s all they said before they left

nothing seemed to...

Swamp Witch

...In the heart of the swamp where the shadows creep,  
Lives a witch in the mist, secrets buried deep.  
With eyes like embers and hair like night,  
She conjures her magic by flickering light.  

...

In the mystical realms where shadows waltz with whispers of yesteryear

Echoing down through ages before,
Sacred verses, etched in stone,
Guiding stars where we've never flown.

Across the canvas of the night,
A million pinpricks, ...

An absent father

enjoy it without embracing it
knowing it is perceived as gentle, kind, forgiving
but it’s thorns are always going to be there

Dancing Cells

...You come to me through breathing nuances of your soul
Pinpricks of laughter, tears, and excitement
Memories buried deep within
Trickles of blood
Moments of loss

My body warms
My heart expands...

The Dark Is Not Evil

...The Dark is not, through and through
Evil personified.
Owl's pinpricks of good intent
Shine through, soft moon-eyed.

And for what Day, outfaced, is
Too fiercely intrusive
More any ghoulish ho...
