As the shadows grow deeper
Anxiety takes hold
Doubts fill my head
As the darkness creeps in
I am prone to depression
I likely will be afraid
As the night takes hold
I feel completely alone
Nothing gives me comfort
As the hours last forever
If I’m lucky I find sleep
For it is my only escape
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – prone
The way the stars shine
They dazzle my eyes
The sound of the water flow
Lulls me into peace
The sliver of a moon
Sets a perfect mood
Your hand in mine
You pull me into your arms
And softly kiss me
You leave me astonished
By your gentle passion
And I feel this is the start
Of something once in a lifetime
The sunset was glorious
Pink and lavender clouds
Atop an orange ball
With bright streaks of light
Struggling to hang onto the day
But alas the stars reign
As night shrouds the day
A blanket of darkness
Dotted with twinkling lights
The only way it could be better
Was if you were here to see it
Right by my side…
My hopes become unmoored
Along the sea of dreams,
To set sail on the night sky.
Drifting between the stars,
They trail down the milky way
Chasing comet tails.
They are searching for their destiny –
A vision in the darkness,
Of fantasy and wishes.
