Silence is Night

draws you in

once was twilight

now only the black

and no longer bright

just peaceful grace

once was love

with sidewalk space

and now the memory

of your last kiss

brings me back

to the dark

after twilight

This has an interesting format and internal rhyme. The absence of punctuation lets the well chosen words do the talking.

I finished this poem today and aimed for something as simple as a piece of branch ripped from a slash of lightning And there it lay, alone in the night belonging to the twilight that came before. And I breathed life into the branch through the love of a pretty lady even if the encounter was brief.  Although but a moment in time it was a worthwhile kiss. Cherish the words you write for they come from the soul. Regards, -Richard LP
