Faint Darkness on the Horizon
Faint Darkness on the Horizon
It didn’t matter how brilliantly the sun was shining on this day The passing laughter of children would go unheard Encouragement of well-wishers received with a fake smile Grudgingly acknowledged with a mumbled word of thanks That faint darkness on the horizon holding its position Always present to dash hopes and leave unfulfilled dreams Until it was gone there would be no joy For now it had control and ruled supreme Copyright © 2023 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Grace is hosting Open Link Night at D’Verse

Darkness
The shadow falls across your face and I lose you once more to the darkness Your time in the sunlight limited by your own demons robbing you of happiness Once more allowing the chaos to rule our world, destroying harmony I watch with sadness as you are consumed with anger and demand retribution for wrongs only you perceive I step back in horror as I witness the madness consuming you and I pray silently for the light Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Lisa from Tao Talk is hosting Open Link Night at D’Verse Poets Photo by Artyom Kulikov on Unsplash

Into the Darkness
Into the Darkness
An ever-consuming sadness envelops your body in a diaphanous veil A storm brewing in your mind Words of reason hide in the penumbra Marinating in suppressed anger that dwells there Instinctively I know what is happening I recognize the warning signs triggering your frustrations What the eyes don’t see Intuition already knows Watching a rerun of the movie I have seen so many times I sense the imminent deterioration of what was once a beautiful mind The beginning of the end Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Prompts What the eyes don’t see - RDP Saturday Penumbra - RDP Thursday Deteriorate - FOWC The beginning, the end - Stream of Consciousness Image by Gordon Johnson from Pixabay
