Bringing hope to my soul glued
To despair's ceiling....

The last ray of hope
Shines brightly in the darkness
And burns through the night.

sunlight whispers
hope for the dark sky
hot as hell
for my black umbrella
but still lightens my path...

The sun 
making the man 
look at his dark shadow 
with curiosity and hope 
fading.

Shrivelled day,
Mottled charred desires,
Still pursuits,
Dying hope,
Shadowed duty engagement,
We fall and rise still....

Vampires of despair
Preying on your mind at night
To lick your cold sweat
As their tongues speak of lost love
Draining your body of hope...

Shrouded within the underside of clouds,
shade shapes shift like imagination's whims, 
light seeping anew like birds through obscurity.

It is still dark.
But there is a
soft glow on
the horizon.
Soon, it will be
bright enough
for all to
read the verses
penned in these
dark times.

Soon!...

I gaze up 
Into the Abyss of darkness,
The expanse of blackness.
And see their smiling faces gazing back at me.
Shining, beaming,
Glowing, gleaming.
I'm glad to 
Know
There are stars....

sounds of violin crying out in the dark
desperate for one solitary ray of moonlight
string along all lost souls who stray in the night

Do not throw your life away 
You have a lot to live for 
Just get off of those streets 
That is for sure 
Nothing but terrains and trivails 
Along with lots of trouble 
Get it all together 
And move on the double...

In the dark
Is where you will find yourself 
If you do not shape up
And get some help
Avoid hanging around bad company 
For they are the ones who bring you down 
There is a cloudy scenery
You will fall right to the ground...

dark clothing
dark skin
dark place

may    be

but

dark sees
the realities of life
beyond superficialities
deeper meaning
happiness and light
laughter and love

aware
of life

from a winged elm tree
a wren's knife cuts through glum dawn ~
                            joyful day afoot

Despair
                      empty, bleak
         shivering, whimpering, trembling
            gloom, doom … light, music
         wondering, brightening, affirming
                    lustrous, radiant
                           Hope...

Darkness is the central part of the night 
When rest will be taken by sleeping  
Cursing self in the morning for the work 
Indeed not always you welcome morning 
But why do you aim for bright future 
And why do you consider darkness as it is...

Stars............

Burning balls of gases,
Decorating the night sky,
Displaying the miraculous beauty in nature,
Wasting itself to be with the thousands of souls,
Who are alone in the world,
Giving them hope, in their darkest time.

A needlepoint of stars I see,
When falls the darkest night;
In fact, the fewer stars I see
When the nearest is most bright!

For by darkness do I count the stars,
And of late, the sky’s aglow—
How very odd this paradox 
Is most clearly what I know!...

You sit alone and stare at the wall
And darkness is all that you will find
Messing around with narcotics
Is sadly destroying your mind
Just get yourself some help
And take back your life
Remove yourself from the negative
Move towards the right track...

some thin
king dark clothing
dark face
dark place

may    be
but more

a see
ing a sensing
of life's realities
superfic'alities

aware
to find

deep mean
ing and singing
the sight
of light

drab lackluster mood
brought on by somber winter
~ blue melancholy


few treasured sunrays
awaken dormant daydreams
~ hope lurks on standby

velvet black
iridescent blue
scattered with crystals

i stand
surrounded by the void
of love past yet now becoming

in becoming
past fades into future

sun of gold

Find me at the bitter end,
Of the darkest stories that’s ever been told

Waiting….Longing,
For your gentil aura to slay me with your light.
And there I shall remain.
Trapped in a blissful mirage, 
More real than the stories I’ve lived and many more told.

Being... Finally.
Finally, being....
