The Poems of
Terri Lyn Stanfield

Bad Moon Rising

The full moon rises in the starry sky
And I feel the wildness of my soul
Answer gladly to its call
It pulls me into the gloom
And I merge into the night
Becoming one with the blackness
And giving myself over to the darkness within

Sea Of Passion

Lost on a sea of passion, riding on its waves
Swimming in its depths, drowning in it currents
Until finally drifting to its shore, exhausted and spent
But oh, so eager to dive into its waters once more

"This one is very dark, you might want to skip it."
Terri Lyn Stanfield

Black Void

My mind whirls is confusion
No hint of peace amidst its tumult
It's dragging me down into a black nadir
And sapping me of coherent thought
It's taking me to a very dark place
Though I fight hard against its pull
Finally sucking me into an endless void
Where I'll never be heard from again

Would I?

If I could turn back the hands of time
And be back in your arms once more
Is that a trip that I would make
If I could just erase the last twenty years
And start all over with you
Knowing then, what I know now
Would I be willing to take that step
No, I don't think that I would
For if we'd remained together
I'd never have become the person I am today
You'd have seen to that
Holding me back at your own level
But without you, I became me
And I wouldn't trade that for a lifetime with you
