Feel The Night...

Darkness sets upon this night As the creeping moon is rising The resonating sounds of silence Cry out to those who seek The companionship of shadows. A deep vast endless vacuum Of the blackened out day. They are sucked into an existence Where darkness looms over them Cradling them, and blankets them with security. Released from the mares that haunt the mind Taken in by the shielding shadows of the dark, They are embellished with life anew Away from the solitude reaped By the scars of wounds that bite. In the ultimate playground of discontent, In a locked asylum of euphoria, Under the unending veil of darkness Do they smile and frolic Soothed by the kiss of night. So feel the night, black as coal And soft as velvet, beneath your fingertips The sun has set, leaving us with memories Of a neon sunset that shocked the sky with colour, only to let the colour die A clandestine night cloud waves by Like a magician's hand to reveal The pearl sitting amidst the night Pastel colours beneath a diamond studded sky Trading places with creeping shadows. Cries cut through the cool crisp air And excite the darkness with wild imaginings Lining their walls with joyous despair And disappointed tragedies Bleeding darkness across the endless ceiling So feel the night, black as coal And soft as velvet, beneath your fingertips….
