fall's foreboding

as dependable as any hope
for a lover could be
winter looms

yet no lover this
with darkness creeping in
slowly consuming light
and warmth
time once again
to chase away
elude
midnight's ghosts

feel the trembles
of those indistinct images
waiting
anticipating
inimical
while holding onto fleeting twilight
... a memory fading fast
shadows of the dark
always more sinister
while in relentless pursuit
