Dawn Hunts Shadows
Dawn hunts shadows with shafts of light
Golden swords pierce raven night
Long shadows flee from the meadows
With shafts of light dawn hunts shadows.
Hints of amber glows through each tree
From the meadows long shadows flee
Dawn repels dark things as grace flows
Through each tree hints of amber glows.
Through still airs a morning chime rings
As grace flows dawn repels dark things
Sunless sky speaks silent prayers
A morning chime rings through still airs.
In semidarkness dawn’s light peaks
Silent prayers sunless sky speaks
Gold light chases after darkness
Dawn’s light peaks in semidarkness.

Historical Foreshadowing
Marring-
The once brilliant Sanctuary
-A commonplace Event-
Without a place.
An opening up
Of old and new torments
And
Run
On
Thoughts
-Half Unanswered-
Stop at the border
-In semidarkness-
The edge of eternity.

I’m alone in my room
In the semidarkness
8 pm, the dusk has stolen
The world’s color.
I’m aching in places
I’m too familiar with,
These lines I tread
Are blurring blurrier.
Tongue in my teeth, my
Arms are too heavy to lift.
I am lost and furious
And cannot fix myself.
None of the noise is enough
To penetrate my skull.
I stare at a screen and hurt
And none can reach me.

the dark billows loom
over the deforested land

under the pier
breakers splash pilings
semidarkness
each roller awakens me
to the breath of the sea

Today to the awakening
you have asked me why you have been
the chosen one between so many people
and how is the form of my feeling.
so … I wrote you a list
moments that cause this deep love.
In the mornings when we open the eyes
I observe your free face of strange colors
and the hair tangled between my fingers
I have the woman of my dreams.
When you are looking yourself in the mirror
I approach to give you a kiss in the cheek
and we join our happy images
I see the woman of my dreams.
When we walk along the street in love
I take your hand and receive the heat of your body
mix of meat and flushed hearts
I go with the woman of my dreams.
During the dinner with friends
Our looks are constantly crossing
and in complicity … we smile.
I am with the woman of my dreams.
In the night in complete semidarkness
we dismiss the day shared
with a caress and a kiss.
I sleep with the woman of my dreams.
But though the years happen
and the children, already big, depart far,
again alone I will continue saying:
you are the beautiful woman of my dreams!

Form: Blank verse
Day fades into semidarkness
And night’s ravenous appetite
Slowly consumes remaining light
Leaving nothing but shadowy
Phantoms slow dancing with the wind
Under a new moon cloudy night.
Darkness- The great equalizer
Where the sense of sight is useless
And Seeing Eye dogs are not seen;
Where sinners and saints are lovers
And transgression and grace are words
having utterly no meaning;
Where truth becomes irrelevant
Until the mornings piercing light.
