In the dark of night, as the moon did shine A shadowy figure approached from behind With a cloak of black and a face unseen This stranger in the night was quite the fiend A creeping sensation, a chill in the air The hairs on my neck stood up in despair My heart did race, my breath did stall As the figure drew closer, I felt quite small I turned to run, but my feet were frozen I tried to scream, but my voice was broken The figure reached out, and with a cruel grin Revealed the face that was hidden within It was not a face that I knew or recognized But one that filled me with fear and despise The eyes were cold and the smile so twisted This encounter was not something I had wished for or listed The stranger spoke not, but with a swift motion Revealed a dagger, my heart filled with emotion My thoughts raced, my mind went blank As I realized I was about to face my end, a terrible fate But just as the blade was about to strike A sudden noise startled the fiend, and it took flight I fell to the ground, trembling and weak Grateful to be alive, but still unable to speak The night passed on, and the sun did rise But the memory of that encounter never dies For in my mind, I see that face once more And wonder what could have happened, what was in store So beware, dear reader, of the strangers in the night For you never know when you might come face to face with fright And when that time comes, may you be strong and swift Or else you too may face a terrible gift.

The Stranger in the Night
In the world of light and shadow, There is a dance that is always in flow, The light casts its rays far and wide, And the shadows cling to the darkness inside. But sometimes, the light can cast a shadow, And the darkness can give birth to a glow, And in those moments of paradox and surprise, The world is transformed before our very eyes. For in the dance of light and shadow, We can see the beauty that is both, And the contrast between the two, Gives birth to a new kind of truth. So let us embrace both light and darkness, And see the world in all its richness, For it is in the interplay of the two, That we find our deepest, most authentic view.

Dancing Shadows
In the darkness, I search for the light, A glimmer of hope to guide me through the night, But as I look around, all I see is black, And the shadows seem to grow and attack. Yet in the depths of my heart, There is a flame that will never depart, A light that shines so bright, And fills me with an inner delight. For even in the darkest of places, The light within me still shines and embraces, And reminds me that no matter what may come, The darkness can never truly overcome. So I hold on to the light within, And let it guide me through thick and thin, For as long as I have this beacon of hope, I know I can conquer any slope.

The Light Within
Light and darkness clash in an eternal battle, Each one trying to gain the upper hand, The light brings hope and peace, While the darkness brings fear and despair. The sun rises in the morning, chasing away the night, Bringing warmth and joy to all who bask in its light, But when the night returns, shadows grow long, And darkness tries to take hold once again. Yet even in the darkest of nights, There are stars that shine so bright, Guiding us through the darkness, And reminding us that there is always light. So let us hold on to the light, And never let darkness win the fight, For as long as we have hope and love, We will always have the strength to rise above.

The Eternal Battle
You look at me and my heart shatters I fall to the ground The world continues to spin My hand over my heart There is no turning back I am falling From the righteous sky down      to         the               sea                    of                        guilt

Guilt Trip
In the darkest corners of my mind, I wander I wait patiently for the day to come For a smither of light to enter The mind is a prison A prison I hold the keys to Yet, I wait for the cell to open For a smither of light to enter Illuminating the dreams, I locked away At the very end of the darkest depths Within the darkest portions of my mind I wander

Lost Dreams
Thy Fire burns her heart tonight Heavy burdens own the fight Sleep is no option now Her dreams no longer see the light Darkness around the corner Now in plain sight Thy fire burns his heart tonight Mistakes call from the bend Memories shattered, now broken glass Love the infamous mustard gas His purpose gone, now a lonely knight Life the beginning and the end The war of love Life’s precious game Creates illusions inside our brains Till there is no more left to gain Thy fire burns their hearts tonight.
