The Darkeness

Beneath her skin

Was slowly ebbing

Fading, revealing

Her innocence

Tracing her pulse

Deep into the night

She realizes her

Downfall, her collapse

A Deception believed

 Disguised in hues

Seducing her will's

Daydreams

A decaying energy

Driven by mistrust

Fusing doubts into

A deformed reality

That was never hers

Quivers in the dark

Unable to resist 

This promising light.

Horizon's Light

Kindles under

Dawn's coral skin

And crimson sunsets

Streaming day's events

Destiny stemming

Between light and dark

Infusing Fate, quantifying

Mankind's latest patriarch

Another halftime show

Staging day's delirium

Chasing night's fresco

A painted pseudonym

Disguised in harmony

Or masked in terror

Ending light's journey

Welcoming night's author.

Shadows 

 

From Time

Tip-toed across the

Lines of her face

Washing away times

Best left unanswered

Forgotten, breathing

Only this moment in

Time

 

She turned to face

The wind morphing

Each moment of her

Life into a soothing

Flashback, each frame

Golden, feeling the love

Captured through the

Years

 

Lifting her faith

Affirming her life

Choices, her efforts

Fully realized her

Happiness succumed

Only by her heart's

Desire to never

Concede.

Time

 

Stood still again

Caught transcending behind

A cross wind, streaming

Ebbing, forging memories

Caring not about anything

And yet everything 

Suspended, cradled in a

Wisdom not always believed

Or understood, its reason

For being was enough

Savouring only that which

Could be attainable

 

Slipping away from

Darkness into a light

Brimming in innocence

Glowing with confidence

Discerning morals elevating

Compassion's will

A mind pendulum 

Finding its balance.

Edwin James

...

 

Sounds

Of wizardry carried

Her thoughts without

Any warning unable
to comprehend or
Give direction

Never one to dare

Her journey was hers

And hers alone
Tangled in illusions
Serpentine mysticism

Transcending into a
Corner of her mind
Left ignored till now
Inhaling its freedom
Hitching a ride

On a sinking dream
Standing on the shores
Of a reveling imposter
Lying in wait, a
Time to dare .

Edwin James


...

The Night

Offered little hope

He knew where his fate

Sold out, unable to cope

His timing never that great

Drifting, his heart yearning

Feeling the weight burning

Bending his dreams, baiting

Daring, no longer caring

Collapsing before his time

Left to defend, rescue

Shadows teasing in mime

Colours tainted untrue

Flaking before him, fading

Gasping, life's meaning

Robbing motives murmuring

Taunting illusions ribbing

An epoch calamity

Begging for amnesty.

Edwin James

...

Moon's Gravity

Casting light over

Shadows brooding in

Camp darkness, offering

An escape, a retreat

From fates hand

Rattling his inept

World cuddled in

Fear and doubt, he

Begins breathing in

Moon's elusive light

Redefining memories 

Lost in canyons built

So long ago, once

Crushed rise again

Riding on the back

Of moon's fervor

Far from Hell's Gate

Having buried his

Soul in nightmares

For too long, his

Escape waits, believed 

Breaking loose, eclipsing

Darkness' grip.
