Poetry- Night’s Safety Zone

When reality ushers in darkness,
And the cold has shut me in.
When the tears flow
Through leaky faucets..
When strength can’t be found
To begin.

I close my eyes and hide,
From all the devil’s schemes.
And float away to paradise,
Booked on a flight of dreams.

You won’t find me crying there,
And light is all you’ll see.
The sweetest love welcomes you,
With open arms, this reality.

The waves crash against the stone,
Of a heart that barely beats.
It’s the treasure stolen, but
Never hidden.
As eyes close, knowingly,
to enter dreams.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
