Night Wings

Loathing the darkness
of a moonless night,
a black hole in my universe
unblinkingly swallows me whole

my thoughts drum
in cadence of my enemy
serenading me with sinister
songs of doubt and bleak despair

ripping my heart into bloody
fragmented pieces for sacrificial
savoring in obscure darkness

The insanity of night shouting with angry
animosities and vulgar insinuations.
memories with claws and bloodied fangs

How achingly alone...
to lie awake for hours staring,
yet not seeing,
yet....
In a cruel dream as it were...

My captors rushing me
to the precipice of labyrinths
taunting words of
promises not kept
seeking to cruelly throw me
to the ravenous lions

I welcome them as dear children
while my desparate heart
still wildly beats
a tattoo into my chest...

Yet...in the distance,
I hear the meadow lark
sweetly singing of
new morning dawn.

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

I was quite swept up by this; it seems to me like you aren't the type to stay down long though. The last few lines seemed as if you were remembering your way back, or perhaps discovering the real purpose of your Ruby slippers!
