Transcendent

Midnight blues

 

I could use a pair of new eyes

Follow the light from a window nearby

My vague certainty it can defy

A foot I drag off my tether

To try to detour

 

Then here are nights of a quiet time

When a raw heart beat can’t feign

Any of its words remaining sublime

They've never been a loud voice

Nor have been the easiest choice

 

But these feelings have keen ears

You make a lullaby in my restless hours

Muffling my bellowing fears

None of what’s in front me

Can ever emulate your symphony

 

And though our unwritten story

Is like fireworks in daylight’s reverie

You're still the beautiful one

And my poetry is best true

When it's about you

Beautiful, melodic, dark, and loving. Has the feel of a sonnet; didn't realize it was rhyming: until the second stanza.
