"In The Twilight"

I have been wanting to post this poem for quite some time but have been very apprehensive to doing so as I don't wish for it to be completely misunderstood.  So at my friends advice I am adding this little disclaimer to the top!! Ha!!

This poem has nothing to do with vampires, creatures of the night or the Twilight Series of books... but I hope you like it just the same!! ;)

IN THE TWILIGHT

In the twilight

You stand

In my twilight

You live

The moon so bright

I can almost see

Through you

I begin to fear

You’re not real at all

You try to

Soothe

My fraying edges

Bring me peace

When no one can

You laugh at

My mischievous eyes

We hold so tight

The day is coming

The sun is rising

You burn away

Like the morning dew

No longer with you

In the twilight

We stand

In the twilight

We are one

"One Drop"

 ONE DROP

 One

 One insignificant droplet

 Forms unannounced

 Is pulled back into itself

 And disappears within its mass

 One

 One simple droplet

 High above the grass below it

 Falls, glistening like crystal

 Fatally falling to the earth below

 One

 One droplet quivers

 And breaks loose from its perch

 Quickly devoured

 By branches beneath its path

  

 One

 One misguided trickle

 Bends and weaves itself along a rock wall

 Reform, rejoined, departed

 With every curve and bend it faces

 One

 One growing tear

 Two tears

 Three tears pass by my window

 And meet again to be reborn

 One

 One delicate droplet

 Joins another and joins again

 To be consumed by itself

 A ripple, an echo

 One

 One endless beat

 One calming rhythm

 One endless song

 To soothe you

 Until the sun returns

"A Words Journey"

A Words Journey 

 A word

 Inside a verse

 On a page

 Inside my book

 Comes from

 My pen

 Held

 In my hand

 Course through

 My veins

 Inside my mind

 Within its depths

 Inside a book

 On a page

 Inside a verse

 A word

 Leapt from the page

  

"Turn Out The Light"

 TURN OUT THE LIGHT

 Turn out the light

 The world suffers

 I lay upon my bed

 Hatred grows around us

 Roll to my right

 Wars begin

 Arm extend across the bed

 People suffer, people die

 Left leg bends at the knee

 Smell the death that’s in the air

 Inner left thigh grazes the sheets

 Struggle to live another day

 Head rests

 Bury the dead

 Eyes close

 The dead bury the dead

 Peace surrounds me

 Live in fear

"We Linger"

 WE LINGER

 Do I feel the way I always felt?

 Are the lips that touch my neck still felt?

 Do I hear the words that I once knew?

 To touch, embrace, my soul. Can I hear you?

  

 Your fingers dance

 Like steam across my skin

 Your eyes burn through me

 Past the tales I could tell

  

 Beyond my sense of reason

 We lie, We linger
