Sunset


#NaPoWriMo
#GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 10

Consuming it whole
The ocean gulps down the sun
Easing its bright pain
Amongst corals, pearls, it rests
Silent ashes of gold dust

Nightmares

Jan 1 #prompt for #CrowCalls @QuillandCrow

My dreams serenade
The ghostly guard
In the vanishing distance
Darkness emerges
From behind auburn veils
Of a lonely sunset;
Lovers of the night
Twist and slither
In serpentine glee;
I wake up flushed
Burning from nightmares
Crawling on my cold skin.
