The night’s grim demeanor
Destroys the serenity of the moon
Ravishes the sacred
Hearts of the unfortunate few
Who dare brave the soulless vacuum
Where ignoble hate
Defines one’s belonging
Siphoning life from
Those around their fancied niche
To fuel their self-righteousness
Some fall victim to
The unreasonable, harsh wrath
Of the wretched demons
Whose empty skeleton bodies
Are devoid of happiness
But here you yet stand,
Angelic guardian,
Protectorate of the lonely,
You stand pristine, unmarred
Your smile banishes the treachery
Your beautiful smile
Transforms any place to a home
Captivates my heart:
You complete the person I am
And I love you more each day

You stand pristine, unmarred
Your smile banishes the treachery
Your beautiful smile
Transforms any place to a home
Captivates my heart:

Just a cool little tanka series I put together as a gift. Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to write since I've started college
