Writing Prompt

as the curtains close

the night wraps them in

lights disappear

as does the act

masks are put out

clothes undress

as they comes to play

minds wanders

cliffs creep closer

the bridge between sanity

grows fainter by twilight

trucking further and further

until creatures ae exposed

lines are crossed

welcome to the night

there are no rules

only make it to daylight...

An inky black sky

And a mocking moon

The night is never ending

Footsteps of a creature unseen

Behind or ahead

It’s not safe, stop pretending

In the forest

Or on the street

The predators are lurking

Hunting for their prey

The moon cannot save

It’s light is not enough

The night is their domain...

She whispered one night

Have you witnessed stars fall?

Have you laid in a dark field

Your weight dragging you down

Down

Down

to meet the earth?

The dewy grass tickling your face?

Or felt the inflated firmness of a paddle board

As you drift on a mindless lake

under a blanket of tiny stars?

A gentle breeze

Your toes freeze

Your eyes scan the skies

Hoping for a streak of light

Breaking into peacef...

The cloak of night suppresses the ugly, and obscures the beautiful.

The cloak of night treats everything under its veil as its own. It is a refuge, a shield, and a fear.

Regardless if you are a beast of prey, or a pinned butterfly - the night will treat you the same.

Despite all revelations, the cloak of night cannot be altered or prevented.

Much like how we cannot control the horrors and bles...

the night sky

will always

lead me to you

with greens and blues

aching my eyes

surrounding my heart

till I’m lost

in temptation

and the wind

Is a subtle symphony

keeping me hostage

pushing me forward

when I close my eyes

the earth folds

as I fold in your arms

and you’re here once more

it’s useless

to love you as I do

diluted by distance

lost in the haze

but every night

I see you under night...

Moon, tell me-

Moon tell me are you still there when the sky seems all empty of stars ?

Moon tell me do you still shine as the sun seems to replace you when your back is turned ?

But Moon, an eternity of stars could not replace or at least try , to subliminally enlighten your sky .

O Moon sometimes I ponder,

Where do you conceal the countless thoughts, **The silent burdens you lift from me, w...

Looking through his eyes, I turn to stone,

Lover of Medusa, I hear him groan.

Shadow that’s been following me for hours,

He looks at me whispering what could’ve been ours.

Nostalgia, guilt, fear are running through my veins,

Memories who forever in my heart, stains.

As our gazes meet, a new expression appears on his face,

And slowly disappears, between us, the space.

The closer he gets, the wid...

As the sun goes down

The bedtime books close

The dogs spin to find the right spot

Keys jiggle in the door

Day shifts end

Nights ones starts

That one house lights

Never turn off

Stars are hard to gaze

City lights are the new muse

The tv turns on

The radio click on

The canvas gets dusted off

Window open

Fan off

The night air

Just right

For some

The day just started

Some just...

Cold and dark

How it always is

Yet in the corner of my eye is a star

Alone and pining

Sitting, crying

And yet she shines so far.

I sit by her,

And ask what’s wrong

She tells me about her favorite song

How it broke apart and left her

How I wish I never met her.

She goes away a final time

Dancing in the dark

I look up, the glow has ended.

Yet another day for a broken heart....
