In the midnight hour

I n the darkness of the midnight hour

N ot a creature stirred this enchanted night

 

T he streets were awkwardly quiet

H e stood under the old lampost

E ntertaining angels and demons all of his own

 

M adness under a moonlit sky

I ntoxicated he seemed to be

D runk with wine perhaps

N ot your usual wino

I was strangely curious

G etting closer to the lampost I saw

H im dancing with his shadow

T he two made the strangest pair

 

H e never knew I was

O ut there watching him dance in

U nison

R eflections of him still linger in my mind

Very well done indeed! I love acrostics and the one's you pen are
brilliant. Very creative piece this and the picture you painted
really captured my imagination.
