The Night

caress me into the arms of the night

blanket me with sheets of days death

the night is my limelight

this means i'm a star

look up to me yet don't touch me

even a finger is too much me

even as i shine bright

still...i'm sweltered by the night

watched by the eyes of owls

dancing to howls

the night is my cowl

darkness my bowels

cold

to the soul

as i watch the stars fall

or explode

too vast to hold

cloak me 

for i am a shadow demon

listening to the voices

swallowed by the waters ...of forgotten love

it leads to a waterfall

where hearts fall down 

undrowned...

still beating

underwater sounds are increased

so the night blankets me

pain deceased.....

 

WRITTEN N PAIN
