The Sun's Last Rays

The sky alight with shadows of the day

where fading suns bleach colors from the bruise

on wounded hearts whose pigments bleed to gray

to hide from view the purples, reds, and blues.


Where lurking demons rise from haunted fens

and spread the gap of what was torn apart

to build a home between the jagged ends

as taloned hands pretend to seal the heart


of broken tattered souls who mourn the day

and count their daily sorrows by moonlight.

The subtle visions of the sun's last rays

still lurk inside, despite the darkest night,


as solar flares prevent our hearts demise

and sear away the sadness in our eyes...
