Silence

The dusk unfolds his blanket 
And lays it upon the skies,
Silence rests on every man and beast
And echoes in the skies.

By Moonlight-Ty

Ghostly
Barely
Swiftly
Softly
Moon's ghostly glow barely shelters night
Owl hunts swiftly through softly dimmed light

The Coffin-Maker

Tight like
coffin,
black like
nightmare...
The coffin-maker likes his black tight
wagon, driven by the mare at night.

dusk
is pressing
as the mist
rolls in
with the growl
of thunder
and the eyes
of Jupiter

Sunset’s smile fades as it paints
The bellies of evening clouds
Before drawing dusky shades
And retiring for the night.

With the wand of His hand
he sweeps in the stars and the moon 
then, he paints the sky 
a beautiful shade of eglantine.

Stardust lay o'ver demon who had lost a gleeman Shadowy as nightfall, haunted like vile downfall

      The softness of night, crushed 
         in morn's vice

         before dawn

Lovers promenade as sun sets in mid-july
Opalescent jewel tones kissed across the sky
