Darkness

Another poem by Speechless.

A blinking star shines its light through the window
As cold tears fall from blood-shot eyes
The hands of time caress the clock
As time slowly walks by.
The darkness has set upon the lands
Searching for any sign of life
Death leaps for joy as the night falls
Cupid has settled his wings
The moon dances, the star flashes
Sleep falls upon the earth
As the whole land is coveted by darkness.
The winds speak their words
Lightly as the breeze taps the windows
The trees whisper secrets
Of the rivers that rush like falling rain
The sun hides behind the mountains
Like a sinful mourner behind closed curtains
Darkness settles down at last
And the earth is ready for its forever sleep.

Normally I see the beautiful side of the night and darkness but you've turned me on to the side I fear the most. It's well written but it depresses me. For my own reasons of course...

This is a very novel way of turning the night into poetry. I commend your imagery.

The hands of time caresses* the clock

Some of my favorite lines:
The moon dances, the star flashes
Sleep falls upon the earth
and
The trees whisper secrets
and
The sun hides behind the mountains
Like a sinful mourner behind closed curtains

Wonderful craft! I enjoyed this.
