As the moon passed
into Earth's shadow
total darkness 
enveloped my world
broken only by you
my shining star....

A difficult day

                  She prepares food for tonight.

                                      In total darkness...

Amidst glittering sunbeams
Total darkness dissipates in
His shining light
To the sound of blaring trumpets
A chorus of angels sings
Hosanna He has risen....

When you
Feel that you are
Sinking hopelessly and
Your world is crumbling in pieces
Drowning in a well without remedy
Exist two paths you can select
Stay in total darkness 
Or seek the light
You choose...

Paris, France is great
especially when at dusk.
Much beauty abounds.
 
Crepuscular light
before the total darkness
enhances beauty.

Wonder of Europe
like a jewel in a case.
Canvas comes alive!

My deepest fears are coming true
Total darkness  bleeding through
Raging inferno that's within my soul
No longer I desire to maintain control
Exposing the darkness for all to see
"Reveal your demon!" they beg of me...

A breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
 
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.

Total darkness is a cannibal 
that feed on lighter shade shadows....

Sensual heavenly bodies
Tempting man to risk it all
Answer to a lovers dream
Reclining under with moonbeams
Light years away they do shine
Immittting wave lengths our eyes blind
Great excitement when one falls
Halting me in my steps to stare 
Total darkness shows them all...

Bight blue skys with 
fluffy clouds
i need total darkness
i love the smell of
decaying rotting flesh
i could be a zombie
at the end of the world
i will never go hungry
it is getting harder for
me to tell dreams
from reality
my thoughts are clouded
i'm thirsty for a 
drink of your blood...

When autumn days are short and sunlight disappears with hardly any warning or goodbye, I sit alone gazing through the window at the twilit sky, waiting for total darkness and my shifting mood. 

in the background
Chopin’s mournful arpeggios –
depths of melancholy

How do I live with all these lies,
falling from the skies,
I have no answers,
no truths to live by.

I'm losing grip of my chance,
letting go of my stance,
Living with lies,
that ruin many lives.

People call me heartless,
but I live in total darkness,
People tell me I should die,
and its all a goodbye.........

Treason

Creeping in total darkness,
No wait for any sunshine,
Day he betrayed my true love,
passion bled to death.

All yearnings laid to rest,
bliss was only a deceit,
Wreathed my soul, whipped unsaid words
of treacherousness.

Human’s ready to serve
Zombie’s flesh crave
Human’s have no time left
Hungry in wanting
Appetite in needing
Thirst for blood
Head to toe serving
Eat day and night
Human’s get no sleep in plight
Total darkness with no light
Danger Danger Danger
Zombies enter
Eat in content
Flesh to bones
Never be alone
Zombie eat up

Blank images of times gone by
invisibly reflecting opaquely within.
Expecting a response, but none given.
Empty pages turned, why?
Nothing said.  Nothing read.

Like an extinguished light
Or the flip of a switch
In total darkness, like at night.
Years, as life, slip away
Unable to locate any fond memories
Searching within, still nothing to say....

I thought I found love.
I thought happiness came true.
But now I’m confused 
More than ever.

I thought the sun would shine,
I thought the rain had stopped.
But my dais remain to be grey.

I’m at lost for words,
I’m out of thoughts,
I’m covered in total darkness,
I’m freezing cold,
I’m blind in the dark
And all I do is pray
For light to bring day....

C-ome into reversal of fortunes,
H-igh time to turn your world around;
E-arly January thirty-first,
L-ove, faith, and hope are found.

A-fter years of total darkness,
L-ight has finally shown up;
Q-uitting was not in your mind,
U-nceasing search did not stop.
I-n spite of all setbacks,
Z-eal has done more actions;
A-rdent trust has let you
R-each the reversal of fortunes....

I woke up in total darkness
It was freezing
Colder than ice shivers run down my back
God is reaching his hand to me 
But I reject and look away
I was alone
I always was and forever will be
I am blind and have no help
No guidance anywhere when will I see the light?
When will I have meaning?
Is it too late?
My throat is closing
 I can’t take in air
 It hurts too much
I have fallen
I AM DEAD...

In total darkness flesh rests
and at first light rises.
Sky blue eyes search 
bibles and cookbooks for direction.
Bless cheeks with pink powder blush.
Punch dough down.
Dress fingers in white flour dust.
Invoke a flame.
She commands all the elements,
motions us to stand and watch
at her tall stove-pot.
We peer over the edge
into galaxies of hot oil.
Planets pop and bob into life.
Aroma undoes us and
time floats hellishly slow....

Fly in the sky, you, giant hornet,  
towards the sun, against the wind.
Shine in the light, eccentric comet,
into the dark you`d better fling.

Arrange the show and die in harness,
let here star shower`s hour run.
You – surveyor`s stake in total darkness,
Cosmos is not for sign a bar.

Exhaust yourself in fleeting dancing,
let after all the summer fun,
and rush away, you, cosmic lancer,
to catch up with a falling sun....

A Revelation


                         Adrift alone in silence amidst total darkness

                      I sense the universe as a warm sparkling vessel

                            Not fragments of insignificant frigid orbs

                      A throbbing heart embedded with infinite dreams

                   For weary eyes in search of meaning and possibilities

living in a shadows blackness 
in a room of total darkness 
taking life a step at a time 
trying to find this emotion of mine 
stop and take a long deep breathe 
never shall you stop to rest 
trying hard to hold on tight 
dont let go without a fight 
falling down a twisted protal 
dont you wish you were immortal? 
now to die the sacred death 
hurry, take your one last breathe 
let one more tear fall from your eye 
before you shrivel up and die....

A beautiful gift to humanity
Quenching the chaos of our cries
Diluting stones into sugar
Dressing us in warm colors

The mind of a poet is a beauty unseen
His feelings burning with blazing torment
Poetry has brought an unusual happiness
The mind and heart unites harmoniously
Pen becomes paint brushes 
Words create the symposia
A dynamic gift it came without significance
Joy comes in your creativity
A poet in deep misery became light in total darkness...

I startled awake, early Sunday morning,
fraught - my mind, darting like a panicked animal
because my assignment calendar 
is wet, smeared and illegible!

Total darkness - I fish for my phone by it’s cord - it reads 3:08am.

I flop back onto a cloud of thick, memory foam.
Ahhh, jeeez, it was just a DREAM.

Of course, my assignment calendar 
is safe, digital, redundant, cloud backed up.

“THAT was a little morbid.” I think,
as I drift back out of consciousness....
