A year ago, the sun went down,
And life was blanketed in night,
One without the moon and her crown
Of every bright, sparkly starlight.
The people felt their way around,

I miss dusk, when the sun goes down,
And I can feel it in my skin:
How the soft earth is cooling down.
And where the bright sun had once been
Becomes a gradient that goes down

Silence and kitchen utensils.
Glad I'm not in the mills
Right before their meals.
Also not with the seals,
And not at the window sills.
Far away from the bills,
And the water that fills
The big river that... – by Charlene Delfin | 3 Views added 3 years ago

Right after the sunrise can spark,
She was walking to the sidewalk.
Armed with a broom, she will soon start
Sweeping and sweeping on the walk,
And all the small debris will dart

Their blood flows in my veins.
Their brains are part of me.
Some say we're real villains.
Vampires, monsters, faeries.
These words don't give us pains,
For they're what this name decrees.
But we're dolphins in... – by Charlene Delfin | 3 Views added 3 years ago

I won't write a news article.
Because if I did, I would write
Something very, very fickle,
With not a single paper to cite,
Merciless as a sharp sickle.
It's the end of this pandemic.
That's the one I would write.
The one idea people... – by Charlene Delfin | 3 Views added 3 years ago

It’s a quiet afternoon.
Peaceful so far, no more fights.
I’ve been staring here since noon,
Seeing many kinds of lights
Under many a grey moon,
Just thinking through days and nights.

Dear Doppleganger,
Oh, you look so much like him!
… Except that you are yellow.
Does being someone you seem
Make you just as wild, mellow,
And super smart to the brim?
Tell secrets with your tone low.
Always curious,

Multiple paths that can carry.
Painful, difficult to the mind.
Almost permanent quandary.
Never gentle and never kind,
As the vision becomes blurry
Against hot water that flows behind.

There is silence everywhere,
You could hear a dead leaf fall.
The house is empty, the weather fair.
The trees are towering and tall.
Dreaming of climbing down each stair

Shadows and shaded streetlights.
A night that chills too deeply.
They will start the crazy fights,

Is it a children's bedroom?
Is there a forest somewhere?
Was it a Kinder classroom?
Or did someone try to care
And then forgot or just left?

A bright, blue sky and vast grounds,
Though there is a little shop.
There are not too many sounds
And not even a gallop,
But there are groups of roses
Amidst all the green grasses.
There's also a huge garden

Unending and bleak darkness.
Curtained by lines of raindrops.
Glistening, directionless.
It never ends, never stops.

Absolute nothing screaming

I'm numbed down by these noises,
But I can still feel your eyes.
Loud in loudest voices,
Sending some quiet, unheard sighs
That alert my thoughts to you.
Like a wakeful owl, I look.

A cold, still river surface.
There's no sound in the darkness.
Gripped in the hold of death gaze,
Though a slight light once caressed,
Glowing softly, growing so.
Such a small light, he could go,
But he stayed, even stronger,
Lingering even... – by Charlene Delfin | 3 Views added 3 years ago
