Daily Prompt: Darkness

Advertisements

  The darkness dances around me

trying to confuse and trick me into coming

with him.

But I know in the light is where I’m meant to be,

so dance circle around the darkness trapping it in

a ball of light and as it screams to be let free.

The darkness slowly begins to get smaller and smaller

until it becomes one with  the light.

Another day the light outsmart the darkness is a day

I smile about and, keep in my memories to use another

day for the battle is not over yet.

Poetry

Finally at my fullest!

Advertisements

I feel like I’ve been missing me

And as the  music pours in I’ve awaken.

From this fog called distraction that had me fooled that I was living to my fullest.

The days that seem so good, just seem like they could have been better.

With the light shining down on me, what a joyful feeling

As everything lights up and warms to the touch.

For I once was a dark forest that was too scary to approach.

Now I’m a grand garden that light shines down on and flowers bloom and birds sing.

And at night I’m full of lights that twinkle like the stars in the night and you come and sit by my side and you are not afraid  that it’s nighttime.

For I’ve made you feel safe and peaceful day and night, an endless time of joy to come.

Poetry

Beauty come back to me!

Advertisements

 

What started off so beautiful as the sunset

quickly turned so dark, and I couldn’t stop myself from walking right into the quicksand.

Soon it was dragging me down.

How did  I get so far away from  that beauty I once got so blinded by.

On a journey all on my own, I can’t let the darkness slip in through the

cracks of my life anymore.

So beauty when your ready to come back I will be waiting with  my lights on.
