The embrace of Nightfall.

The sparkling lights gathered rainbows around her head.
Stars echoed in the night sky above.
Her face awash with shadows,
Her chest full of leaps and tumbles, as nightfall stands before her.
His tall frame and light eyes watching her expressions.
She had never seen such splendour, not even in the twinkling lights of winter.
His movement slow, yet steady;
Tentatively he unfolds a velvet wing, awash with bright stars.
Her soft hands clasped now in his, as he guides her with his celestial wings,
Pulling her into the moonlit shadows to meet his caresses.
The night surrounds her now, like a dream.
His wings folding around her, washing away all loneliness.
He pulls her close letting the warmth of the moon fill her heart.

All too soon the sun begins to rise,
And the moon starts to fade from her heart.
The night's shade begins to dim as the glimpse of the first rays appear,
Washing away his deep dark purple shadows.
His grip grows weaker and his warmth dissolves from her reach.
He whispers softly as the first rays stretch golden, amber light across the sky.
His voice slowly fading.
A faint murmur of promise on the breeze to meet again at twilight.

My Devil

Blackened dust on ashes of a new world.

Is it all gone now?

He’s out there, he knows I know him.

Cold, dark, complete.

These dreams haunt my deep sleep.

Causing questions that take my answers.

When the world swallows me whole,

He is there to hold me.

At times I feel that gaping fissure,

Right underneath my feet.

I hold on with all my willpower, but it gets harder every second.

I get lost in the moment

Then the past returns.

It’s the darkness that soothes me and takes over my soul

Creating my safe haven where I am free to explore.

Old and new mingled in the thorns of time

Wrapped up in a cloak of darkened feathers

My wings can’t take flight.

Not yet!

He calls to me, my devil.

Torturing my heart over and over again.

Lost in a deep dark dream.

Only he knows my secrets.

I’ve given myself over to you.

I reach out in my dreams

Drink deep the red bleeding.

Darkness soothes me.

Hidden

As the light fades I can see where the line I crossed began.

If I follow it, will it take me further into darkness?
Or will it lead me from my mind into deeper waters?
It’s a wonder that I haven’t found it all by now.
Can’t seem to understand it all, but in time it will make sense.

It can’t be a dream, but when I wake nothing is right.
You take me to a high sliver lined cloud and then let me fall.
You are not there to catch me and I lie bruised and battered, lost and forgotten.
Is this your idea of fun? This game you play so well.
With little feeling and words of kindness you twist the wound.

I wish you would just set me straight,
Tell me you don’t want me, let me go!

I fade with the night and the shadows swallow my breath.
I vanish from the horizon to be concealed by the day.
On this world I wonder torn and lost.

I waken now to the world that you have shown me.
And the first words I hear are silence.
Consolation leads to realisation.
I know what it is you want,
And with every breath I will take you down to my shadowy world;
Where my demons rule, and my flesh is weak.

I will revel in the lust you bring content to give into my desires.
It was never meant to be more than desire.
Chemistry confused for a connection, friendship confused as love.
Today I rise from the ashes new, stronger and more at peace.
My other side smiles, it has been hidden too long.

Night Star

With every breath I remember,

With every word I recall, and with every step I wonder.
As the wind calls my name I listen for its whisper
And watch the breeze flash across my skin.
Each moment is a step in a new world and every utter takes me to new places.
I have seen things that I can never forget,
But each memory brings me to a new place,
And no matter how hard things get I have the strength to cope.

I share my thoughts with the moonlight as the stars give light to my ideas.
As night turns into daytime I cross from light to darkness.
But as my eyes close I see things for what they are.

Whispering trees catch the thoughts from my mind,
Bringing peace to my ever wondering thoughts;
With each step I get closer to peace and with each breath I get closer to the one.
If only I had the words to describe what wonders I have to share.
For now I’ll just be content with the moments that I have.

Now the daylight steals my tears and the dreams they begin to fade,
And today I will awaken anew, with a promise on my lips.
I will wonder this cloud forever watching out for those I love,
But for now I have my own temptations to banish,
And my own diamond star to conquer.
