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.
