In The Twilight Hour

In The Twilight Hour

A Poem by Warren L.G De Mills
"

April 30 Day Poetry Challenge Day 2 poem

"

A shadow swallows shadows

Sneaking into secret chambers

Devouring children at night

Then comforts mother's grief


Like blood staining blood

A treason beyond reason

Suspicions dare to flair

And accusations go in vain


Like death devours death

Sorrow kisses guilt

To father innocence

In treacherous beds


Silence shouts to silence

Begging for the voice of void

To surrender to eerie whispers

Whimpering in the wind


Darkness descends on darkness

To keep the light at bay

Cold shadows slither on walls

And consume the moon


Twilight hours summon ghosts

And images in the corners

They come at me at night

And force my hand to write...

A chilling look at the twilight hours and a writer's compulsion to write.
