This challenge can be a bit daunting so follow the instructions for what I call a Cryptic Poem.
Four lines only. Second line must start with the last word of the first line ... Third line must start with the last word of the second line ... Fourth line starts with the word ending in the third line and must end with the first word of the first line ... Your title must be the first word which will also be the last word ... Make sure you tag me @Danceinsilence - in the comment box, not on the piece itself so I can read your work ... Also, if you can, have the first four words of each line form some kind of a message of thought ... There, now that shouldn't be too hard ... and let the fun begin.

Skylight

Skylight ever daunting, ever bright,

Bright in the eyes to cause a tear to fall,

Fall to the ground and resonate a moment’s thought,

Thoughts of a beautiful moment when covered by skylight.

Eyes

Eyes – I should have been warned

warned in jangled throbs

throbs of evil spinning webs

webs of malevolent eyes.

Silent

Silent as still waters flows the heart

Heart of stone and steel and fire forged

Forged by lies and love and unrequited desires

Desires ever present and still silent

Moonlight ☾

Moonlight glints in the velvet night

night that tastes of drifting whispers

whispers in the wind, the waving willow trees

trees masking nymphs, hiding from the moonlight.

Cheerful smile

Smile on your face is the antidote to my sadness

Sadness is what I feel when I'm away from you

You make my world a better place

Place that brightens with cheer with your smile

Disconnected

Disconnected in the age of heightened connection,

Connection by wires, avatars, and glaring screens,

Screens to shield faces, remove “human” from humanity,

Humanity suffers in the cage made by the disconnected.

Fear

Fear nothing but fear... my two sweet, innocent, perfect little angels

Angels need only themselves to navigate through the uncertain path of life

Life cannot be understood, but is always yours to live

Live your dreams everyday, and leave with me your fear

This.

"This is it." "What is?"

"Is it that hard to understand?

My poem really doesn't have any meaning." "Oh, you meant your poem."

Poems are sometimes written without meaning, like this.

Humans

Humans what have you done,

Done nothing but begun,

Begun war with no other than,

Than fellow humans.
