Lay Down My Demons

In this, the fast approaching year, I find

Myself content. To be at peace within,

Without a glimmer of malice. The kind

Uplifting thoughts may yet blight out my sin.

So my mortal coil shuffles on still

Betwixt jungles, concrete or otherwise.

Rarely, a smile departs my lips until

I see her eyes at dawn. A new sunrise.

But still, she sleeps by me and my demons.

Silent. If she awakes to look upon

The God and Luci's bout rhyme and reason

Flit and flirt for but a moment. Now gone.

If I am left alone, I am just fine.

In solitude, my company is mine.
