Darkness of the Night

My life force
is a dreary November night.
The rain against the panes
my candle nearly burnt out,
the glimmer
infusing life into me.
People did not understand
I was borne into the darkness of the night.

Smothering Embrace

I glanced up
and there above me,
in smothering embrace
of the August night
was the moon,
pregnant with light.
