My Demons Dance In The Night

By Waters

By K. WaterssPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The night highlights my fears and the course of my demons

They continue to take a free course in my desires that are unwashed from long-term consequences

I remind myself that the natural "animalistic" impulses are covered by my humanity

That my humanity grasps at the sight of the day ahead

That my next step is blossomed into the light that I survive for

No more secrets

I am not corrupted, not consumed by the thought of not knowing or forever knowing

I hang my purpose out to dry like clothes on the lawn that dries in the sun of that day only to be taken in at night and folded properly

I keep a straight line of my thoughts though my dreams dance in the stars

I do not always dance with them

The night has a way of taking away the warmth and making you find other ways to get it

I am understanding of my humanity and do not ask for to much more

I rather share with the light

Then get lost in the night.

Poetry has been my life for as long as I can remember. It's the only other thing besides my daughter that makes sense to me most days.
