Darkness of the moon
in the darkness of the moon
I saw the edge of
the double-sided sword.
It’s edge shinning and sharp
breathless, fright had taken hold
of my heart.
Blinding all compassion –
giving way to a
loud heartbeat.
Recoiled into the safety
of my deadbolt,
fear conquered love
last night.
Sunrise gifts a new day
a new way
allowing love to conquer fear.

Well written. I love the first three lines :)
Ooooh, so nice to see you posting. Love this story….easy enough for fear to make one retreat. I love the hopeful dawning of the new day, when the process can be reversed:)
This begins with so much promise and delivers right through to the end…so glad to see you up here again !
Thank you ladies for your comments. I am helping someone in recovery. What a wild ride! I have written about their addiction in the some of my previous poems. I am thrilled I can write about their recovery now. Love ya! Thanks for the comments and visit
