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

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

Senryu
When the darkness falls
and everything is silent
it is then you come
Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing ©
She did not scout
the darkness
Allowing it to lure
her into the passage
of time
Realizing
there was no going back
Bait and switch
Trapped forever
living in the past
