As the darkness falls
shadows cover fading smiles
and whispers are hushed

When the darkness falls
and everything is silent
it is then you come

Living In The Past
Living In The Past
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

Darkness falls at last
The earth begins to settle
and quietness comes

The Other Side of Darkness
The Other Side of Darkness
She walked slowly
and deliberately
crossing the path of no one
Her hair like spun sugar
Almost caramelized
In the early morning sun
The day was beginning
making its glorious entrance
bringing lightness to her day
The remains of the previous night
Little more than bad memories
slowly slipping away
Darkness had consumed her
blackening her heart
Stealing her soul
Wretched and angry
She fought hard to escape
the tenebrous hole
Kissed by the solar energy
her thoughts now clear
She shook off the shroud
releasing the negativity
that was consuming her
Letting it drift up to the clouds

Sue Vincent's Thursday Prompt Write/Photo - Yearning
Darkness and Light
Darkness and Light
It was the destiny
of the dark souls
to be exiled
forever in
the murky
land of doom
Those blessed
with sunshine
traveled to
the honey mine
on the other side
of the moon

three video games to work into our poetry.
I chose four games:
Honey Mine
Doom
Destiny
Dark Souls

Stairway to darkness
Will suffocate the spirit
Go the other way

Impromptu Haiku
A susurrous breeze
Lifts the darkness from my mind
Releasing my thoughts
Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing ©
Word Prompt: Susurrous
Cover Of Darkness
The sun burst forth
In its morning resplendence
Flowers opened their hearts
For the bees’ appetence
This was the day
You returned to me
All those repressed emotions
Were suddenly set free
Optimism and happiness
Took my sadness away
A bright future together
It was meant to be this way
But for sometime now
You have woven a shroud
Heavy and dark
Smothering light like a cloud
Suffocating and repressing
You navigate the darkness with ease
Familiar to you
It is your expertise
A cover of negativity
Asphyxiating and disharmonious
Fabricated of hatred and anger
Ultimately dichotomous
Exposure of pain
So unmercifully hidden
Yearns for a saving breath
Why is it forbidden
Grasping at the cloth
Searching for a hole
So I can breathe the air
And save my wounded soul
Positivity and love
Is not your blanket of comfort
Power and control
Always triumphant
Knowing I’m not the reason
For this obfuscation
Does not excuse your actions
You are rocking our foundation
Happiness is my lifeline
Without it I will suffocate
Let the sunlight through the weave
Why must you arrogate
This dark blanket of desolation
Is slowly killing me
Taking the breath from my body
Why don’t you see?
Christine Bolton
