Writing Prompt

Not all are wired to appreciate a moonless night.

A cold ,haunting darkness that devours the world.

Poor souls wandering the twilight drunk on the day before.

Stumbling from lamp post to lamp post.

As clueless and lost as the moths circling above.

You take a piss bathed in the street light.

It splashes on your shoes.

Just a few more blocks, then you can rest.

Smiling as you day dream of the dreaml...

The crescent moon shines on down in the night

It’s a pretty sight to see the bright yellow - white

You and me together, we could chill, you make me feel mellow, let’s watch the sky

Oh, I will get lost in the constellations of your eyes

Oh, alright, I’ll get back on track

The night looks beautiful with moon white and black

Maybe dark blue? I’m not entirely sure of what to call the hue

I hav...

Walking the streets that are full of rotting teeth

Hearing whistles in the wind as I wander

Stars blink at me, while my eyes start to bleed

The night sky screams my beliefs, ordering liquor and tobacco

Crawling through the dark, praying I won’t lose my spark

Chopping off my charcoal hair, every time I sit and stare

Til the street lights start to hollow...

The moons shines down on my pale face

It gives me joy, It give me space

It tells me to reflect on everything I've done

It tells me to fly to where I was once shone

I refuse to go where I once ran

Away and away from my home land

I stay with the moon, my true family

If only it were real, if only I could escape this monstrosity...

In my backyard

The crickets chirp -

Keek keek

Keek keek keek

Keek keek keek keek

semitrucks hummmmmmmmm in a soft slow

Hummmmmmmmmm

and long distance travelers cruise through the valley along the concrete highway, desperate to reach their destination safely

around the mountains, around

The road it curves around the mountain

the collective groan of metal and en...

running under the street lights

a spiked drink in my left hand

cigarette in the other one

heart speeding and smile widening

lost friends looking for me

as I let myself free

dangerous eyes around me

permanent hands on my body

a destroyed temple

I just don’t care

hurts less to do so

drink my way up to heaven

as I take the stairs down

I’m not scared

I’ve already met the devil

it’s not a demon w...

The night is not just velvet skies,

Or stars that flicker soft goodbyes.

It breathes in ways the day forgets—

With shadows crawling in quiet threats.

The trees don’t sleep, they lean and leer,

Their branches bent to catch what’s near.

An owl blinks once, then disappears,

While silence hums with ancient fears.

The wind speaks names it shouldn’t know,

In voices cold, and low, and slow.

And somewhe...

Night

Stars, sleep, and witching hours

When the dark takes over me like the sun

I turn into the shadow of myself you only see at day

Just like me, you will to

Maybe you haven’t had the moon take over yet

Once it does… It never stops coming back from the shadows

Dark

Monsters, empty, and cold

When the night comes over me like the warm covers

In the dark, everything and everyone is a shadow

When yo...

They see dark and scary

I just see you.

I see you in the dark,

In the way you breathe and finally get rest.

I see your mind slow down and the gentleness you bring.

I see you when the storm clouds roll in your eyes,

How uncertain you seem, but how strong you are.

Everyone sees dark, but I see your light...

i wish to be a child again,

afraid of the dark,

what lurks in my closet?

what lives under my bed?

when the vast of night covers the horizon,

and my blanket covers my head,

i wish to be a child again,

afraid of the dark,

ive grown with skeletons as friends,

ive grown with ghosts for mistakes,

ive grown with monsters of worry,

Oh how I wish to be a child again,

simply afraid of the dark,
