A sip of coffee, a deep breath and
Another day has failed.
Such is life. You know your
Missing something when the sunrise
Turns its back on you. Or is it fear?

I would think in all this darkness that the
Moon would still peek around the
Corner now and then.
Guess he’s waiting for me to fall off first.

If you feel the need to stay down under
Please. . . Don’t let my unbearable presence
Slow you down. I would not want to be the
Reason the moon ran away.

Maybe my shadowed mood has you unnerved.
Whatever the case, please send a message to your
Partner . . . The sun must rise.
It’s the way of things. There are no choices for you.

We have a lot in common, my friend.
At least you can hide in your eclipse
Think things over and come back shining.
And the sighs in the moonlight return.
The warmth of sunlight enfolds. All is well. . .
For them.

My life is my darkness, my breath . . . my poison.
My choices have left me with no chances
Some things. . . You can‘t take back.
Another sip of coffee, and I’ll leave you.

I know my presence kills the light.
I see my outlook pale the night.
You can’t compete and I can’t quit.
It’s all a

Cunning game of lies.

Some of our deepest and most profound poetry can come when we are in a "shadowed mood". This you have proven to be true. Beautifully penned.

May the moon light your nights and the sun light your days.

Loving Light,

Earth Angel

"I would not want to be the reason the moon ran away"

fascinating line

makes me recall a poem I wrote about the moon blowing the stars out and running away in the darkness

welcome to Passions! I will enjoy reading your work, I know
