“Darkness, my old friend”

Turn out the light
Feel Darkness crawl up
Your lap and cuddle
In the warmest embrace
Whisper about the scars
Let them out, the tears
With your deepest fears
When the words are done
Let it slip away, gently
Into the night, bearing
The heaviness of one
With stories never to be told

Fireworks

There is something in the walls
The swirls: Moving inside
Changing colors
A strobe here
A flash there
As eons rush past
Behind the barricades
Of this world
And the others
Beyond reach
It’s surprising how vivid
Fireworks can seem
To the drowning eyes
Of a refugee
