Moonlight

A beacon in the darkened sky,

A guiding light in the midnight hour.

On this road I journey forth,

Standing tall as darkness cowers.

The moonlight shines its light so bright,

Piercing through the clouds above.

Illuminated path at night,

My back is turned to a land once loved.

I journey on through the hills and seas

I walk alone in the midnight breeze

Through darkened fields and forest trees

The pale moonlight guiding me.

A beacon in the darkened sky,

A guiding light in the midnight hour.

On this road I journey forth,

Standing tall as darkness cowers.

Journey’s end is growing near,

Approaching now a daunting tower.

Through its door I disappear,

And leave behind a world devoured.

I journey on through the hills and seas

I walk alone in the midnight breeze

Through darkened fields and forest trees

The pale moonlight guiding me.

Author’s Note:

I tried something different here.  What is it?  I don’t really know.  I just wanted something less depressing, and bit more “adventurous” in a sense.

What do you think?

Alone

I sit here alone

Inside my head is my home

No one else to call my own

It’s all I’ve ever known;

Filled with regret

I try and forget

The memories I’ve set

With actions I beget;

The virtues of violence

Standing in silence

With absolute compliance

No sense of guidance;

Lost in the haze

Of an inescapable maze

I’m caught in a daze

Of past demons I raise;

I try to cry out

I scream and I shout

Caught without a doubt

My body trembles throughout;

I’ve opened the gate

Of malice and hate

A monster I did create

This has become my fate;

I sit here alone

As it’s all I’ve ever known.

Author’s Note:

I sat alone the other night after a party.  Everything felt wrong, and I could not get any sleep.  So I drank until dawn.  I don’t even remember going inside to sleep.  I’ve polished this since then.  Also, I like to rhyme.  I sometimes think that others will find it amateurish, but I don’t care.  It’s my writing.

This one’s about feeling utterly alone and fighting the negative thoughts and guilt that seem to trap one.

Loneliness

I sat here and waited for you, but you never came.

So I sat alone,

In the sun,

In the rain.

Day and night I waited.

Then one day I finally realized,

You were with me all along.

Right there by my side,

You sat with me.

You are always there,

Though sometimes I forget.

It’s good to have you here with me,

My friend

Loneliness.
