The Edge Of Night

Dedicated in support and praise of @stablish and others

The edge of night is at my door -
Indigo and stars first-fledged
Rich and deep, like dancing sleep...
Both night and day, but blurry-edged

The moon amid its monthly change -
Not full, nor new - no less ablaze!
And seed to flower's nature's power:
Not end result but path of days.

From A to B, the scenery
Makes the travels - not end or start.
First page or last - the times is passed
Enjoying tales unfolding...
That's the author's art.

Two people love, but love's defined
Between them, where they touch and speak
We seek to know another's mind
The differences make us unique.

There's beauty in the inbetween,
A viewpoint made for empathy
And no-one's role is clearly seen
Like nuanced sexuality.

And this a fragment of the man
Who lives and breathes and makes to smile
The edge of night's part of the plan
We're proud to walk with you awhile.

Darkness

Blinding darkness Through the trees. Gently putting Life at ease. Taking away All selfish sorrow, Giving reason To tomorrow. Stopping lies From coming out. Stopping sight That makes you shout.

Nightshade

Another stab at wacky free form. Adapted from Angel Beast. #nightdweller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I opened my sacred book again at days end, and saw smiling grimace against daily imperfections.

Phantom

Phantom, with your eyes so bright, Can you take away the night. Phantom, with your heart so cold, Can you keep me young and old. Phantom, with your diamond vice, Can you take my heart of ice.

Allure

Wind chimes, silver tide,. Midnight cat there by your side,. The iris, onyx, tearing, scattered,. Escape, this time, is not so hard,. Your faithful friend, a nuzzling heat,.

Burnt Words

The lines of poetry twist and turn, A maze of words untouched, unturned. Each golden drop of sunshine burns, Every word as ashes leave, blurred.

I Am...

...a secret, Hiding, waiting, on your lips, A hidden truth, love, lie, Eating you from inside out, Watching you slowly die...

Who?

I was slow to finish but quick to start. I'm hard and strong yet soft of heart. I'm soft and loving yet never cry. I love to shop yet never buy. I like smart clothes but never dress smart.

@wolfie ha ha thanks. Those are sitting on my dining table. They are pretty. And I found it fascinating that their "sexual organs" so to speak, resemble our own. I'm going to have to marinate on that for a bit.

Oh dear. What profile pic do you see? I posted and see an orchid close up but it may not have updated my old one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
