Night fears

+ night fears +
Sharp orange peaks
Catch death of the evening
Sun on mountains impaled
Sound of last birds
Turning to roost
Night panther stalking
Preying on light
The shadows grow darker
Dusk is a brief struggle
As last rays of Sun mugged
By Night grim and overpowering
This is now time
For stars veiled to shine bright
Moon rise high for lovers
Is the grave robbing hours
Desperate hours long
For forsaken and lonely
The old and forgotten
Counting every moment
Fearing each tortured second
From twilight to dawn
As no rest will come.

the sunlight fight

+ the sunlight fight +
Scarlett banners of dawn
Forces of the Light
Invading this sky of night
Putting to sword darkness
Everywhere a column goes
Mobilisation of sunlight
Clouds are crested purple
Flicker through shades till find
Own true colour not reflected glow
Of dawn's warring shades
Night withdraws hurriedly
A retreat across whole sky
And Sun shines down victorious
Such hubris needs a fall
When dusk comes round again
And night triumphant rise.
