Unnecessary

The warmth grows between rain showers,
But the foggy nights are easing,
And I see the stars against a blue-grey sky
Not as vibrant as against the pitch black of deeper night,
But this is the way it was back then
And the air is electric with thought
Like back then,
And words paint pictures
Like back then

And those words I can’t speak,
I try to capture with other creativity,
But I hold back still,
As much as I can,
But in another life
Another world
Words will flow free,
And yet for us
still remain
unnecessary

Cannot Hold Me Back

I write my best work
At 3 am,. or 4 or 5
Before the sun light has made it’s debut
When life and distractions cannot hold me back
When I feel most with my heart and soul
And the pen has all the control
I write my best
When I have space
To reminisce,
To reflect,
To contemplate
The past and future
The present now
Now the Moon is present
And she knows my soul,
My thoughts, my secrets,
My loves my losses,
Now I am most here
With myself,
To be myself,
And to find who I am
Today

Nightfall

July 31, 2017
The ripening moon
Hangs above my window
And beckons me
To keep my eyelids raised
An hour longer
She had seduced me
This way before
With promises
In the midnight hour
But this is how
I lost touch
With reality
And the sun
Still, I wonder,
Does she tempt you too?
