    Venus

    You rise in the twilight for I too bask in the dark. While I desire the burning day star, I thrive in the night.   You are ornamented with hues of Hell, Heaven, lust, and purity. I embellish the hues of an angel’s velvety...

    Eye Candles

    Candles within your eyes, illuming my shadow.  Lonely in the dim I was, there is now a glow to follow.

    • This short and I can’t help to say aww. This is sweet

    • You know what I like about you, Daniel? You write and pour your heart out and couldn’t care less what others think or if you even get a nod or comment. You’re incredibly talented. Never stop being you.

      • It’s how I’ve been living… pretty much in the shadow for a long time now. I refuse to analyze too many of other poet’s work and I don’t like there being too much rigid structure on writing. I write how I feel and in a fluid, bending structure that allows me to complete whatever piece I want the way I want it delivered to the world.

        Thank you as always Alexandria,
        Daniel

    A blanket of dust obscures our picture. Soft earth once your skin, now dusted with snow.   This sheet had layered over months without warmth. However, we are soon to hold each other again.   Then spring will dawn upon the rains of April and shower...

    The Seasons of My Mood

    Regardless of summer joyousness, I will sense the overcast of wintry darkness.   Sometimes I will feel happiness, yet there is that which lingers smotheringly.   Always at the brim of my eyes is a teary shower   which glazes over my eyes and thunderous shouts...

    • I’ve never thought of it as like seasons before, but now that I have it is a strangely accurate description, especially when it feels more unpredictable. Maybe I should invest in an emotional tornado shelter.

      • A shelter from emotional tornadoes would be medication coupled with therapy… take it from me! lol

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    A Mother’s Hug Goodnight

    Frigid, calm front hides in northern winds, the vast sky of my bedroom dims. Stream in winter Iced over, mother’s embrace letting go at bedtime.   Still raining, sky’s dark pillow, eyelids become anchors, smothering.   The cold front blanketing these damp lids, peacefully covers the coming storm.
