Premium Member The Umbra of Twilight
A twilight, hard as it tries to disparage, shall always remain dazzling in my mind. The Sun, down, down, into the dark of night carried off by the gloaming, gently it goes; glaring, blazing, and impressive to the eye. Never forget the astral stellar winks skyward, from the ever-present celestial constellations. The dark is cloudy; the dark is opaque, much like the closing...

Premium Member Songs From the Umbra
we found each other's bodies in a pile of bodies writhing and squirming for the light you were pulling petals off flowers I was teaching young children how to swear and in that moment of passion such beauty, such surprise that you would come over to my side, we appeared preserved as in a woodcut in Death's private study where his desk was carved with...

Umbra
Live your days with purpose, and death walks by your side To constantly remind, what time will not abide Your choice on how to handle, ignore or then befriend That last step left untaken —where life begins again (Bryce Canyon: August, 2019)...

The winding roads weave in and out Through the thick murkiness of my mind Molass density permeates this soupy blackout Opening the door for foggy convoluted whimsy A marginal lucidity that’s delicate and flimsy A menacing daze to which I am resigned On the threshold sitting so precarious I waver uncontrollably with wits amiss Of a mind gone off track and delirious Vile...

I lie with shadows past the midnight hours wondering . . . wondering. . . when will I ever sleep? Something gnaws at me; at times it devours. It devours the dreams I hope to dream. Lyrics of some song or nothing-thoughts seem insistent on lodging in my mind – where they creep. My soul yearns to slumber, but inside I’m...

Umbra of Night
The reaper of the dark has crept in like a mist Trapping all its victims within the shadow net With vapors of hypnotic power you can't resist You fall helplessly into a numbing trance To escape this snare there is no chance All precious memories you soon will forget Awake and seek the light oh dreary dream Fade away far from all...

Everything is faint tonight. By dint of a gloomy room or a crescent moon...? My heart is sad and tired. Like a dew drop on a frond, Will you be disappearing soon...? Tayaw...

Umbra Music
The insect hymns press gently on the inner ears. They hide in the umbra, great intricacies of chitinous clicks and timpanis and tiny shockwave harmonies grooving late into the ferocious night - until the umbra yowls and hoots, and the the hunters seek the hymns....

Another letter today Just one more step along my way Check that box and forget about Whatever tomorrow brings Even if it's only for a little while Close my eyes and try to smile Close my eyes To the light. 4/3/14...
