Aurora's Veil
Once in a blue moon
A rare sight to behold
Dancing cross the sky
A celestial curtain
Flowing like a wave
That shimmers in the night.
How radiant it glows
Shifting color by the second
A light show for the world to behold
Before...

Waiting in Fearthe sun, having been fixed
on the barbed wires of my ranch,
is in a state of fear and shock,
cause it has blocked the night's path;
that's why it will have to be exposed
to the night's wrath

After Karaokemusic lingers
streetlights
shine stars
man and woman
sleeping in shadows
the library’s closed
an intimate voice
on the radio
as I drive home
midnight
the spell is cast
midnight
as I drive home
on the radio
an intimate voice
the library’s closed
sleeping in shadows
man and woman
shine stars
streetlights
music lingers

A Child’s Night-CaveAt night
In my room
Curtains flap
Scraps of black
Look like bats
Then a snore
And a growl –
‘It’s a bear!’
‘It’s a ghost!’
‘It’s the fridge,’
says Dad.

Beaming the hills with their bright light

Inspired by flares fired by the soldiers at night as part of military...

One Heartbeat Away
Stars, twinkling like fireflies, senses,
Even my heart’s best defenses
Can’t prevent the feelings flowing,
One heartbeat away, rhythms growing…
Moonlight, whispers pearlescent charm,
Professing gentle who shan’t harm.
Wonder that is always glowing,
One heartbeat away, rhythms growing…
Celestial nights, sleepless delights
Soundless...

NightmareLow below the foaming seam,
Slowly grows a bright red gleam,
Only known in my own dreams,
Lonely drone of evil schemes.
It swims fast, it wont last,
But right now it's forever,
It kills me, it always sees,
Let me go?...

A solitary figureIn the dimly lit corners of her existence,
She lingered, a ghost in the midst of persistence.
From the womb, she was marked, a black sheep born,
Destined to wander, forsaken and torn.
In childhood's tender grasp, she stood...
