bearing foundry’s confluence

where a cavity darkens

believe
that every thought you have
marks your face
every falsehood you espouse
darkens your eyes
and I am watching...

They know you wanted some fun,
Sadly very soon
There may be nowhere to run,
As sky darkens without sun....

the 
frozen lake darkens
as 
the 
origami birds
overhead 
fly home
still 
guided by the 
NorthStar,
into 
the 
eternal night...

Hiding smiles we used to share

with the sun setting, 
dusk darkens the ground below
and vistas fade out~
days flee like defeated youth
as we tread slow to our grave...

A lack of light
     power cut
    darkens houses,
    everyone uses candles,
    but no one seeks the "light"...
    Everyone expects electricity,
    but nobody actually prays...!...

suffocating,
sooty smoke
swirls silent,
serpentine;

coils around,
hisses above
crude contours
of blackened
smokestacks;

strangles the air,
dims morning light,
darkens ashen fog:
toxic smog....

Dawn
haze full
overcast
dark milieu
Morn-
  
Clouds
dim, dull,
atmosphere
returning sun-
Shine
   
Warm
loving
golden hue
ambient cue-
Glow
  
Dusk
darkens
worldly woes
'till the morrow's
Morn...

Our forbidden love darkens the day
I sit alone with the last rose he gave
My once cloud white wings
now blackend waiting for decay
Casted away on his death day
I have no regrets as I stand here and cry on his grave....

Putting words together is a devolution of self;

the soft underwash of sea darkens sand,
a faded sun burns out over rooftops of rain,
a snow train stops in frost under polar stars;

but this is beyond me, over the edge....

The sky darkens fast
Moon covers the shining sun
A moment in time

Shadows dance and play
Nature holds its breath in awe
Eclipse in the sky

Sun’s bright light hidden
Moon takes center stage today
A celestial show
...

We raise up to the place,
We’re reaching the time,
On the place, when the dream wakes up
In the moment,where the reality will fall asleep
In a dark shadow, a cradle,
blinds the ridges
With bright cloud,? cover
darkens the lake....

sickle-sharp moon slashes
silken sky.
dusk darkens deep purple,
lights die.

tonight old hermit leaves
his cave,
weaves tales of freedom
for slave;

vanishes like off-season
monsoon,
back next night of sickle-
sharp moon!...

I'm lying on my bed
Thoughts coming into my head
Contemplating the darkness that surrounds me
Thinking of all the people that are around me,
The room darkens more and nothing is showing
But life's darkness never stops growing.......
