The Darkest Nights

The darkest nights

Lead my mind wander

Shuffling through the thoughts

That I have collected

as I got older 


The swirling emotions

From happiness and delight 

To anger and frustration

Fear strikes like a cobra 

Again, my mind takes flight 


What do I want?

What am I feeling?

Confusion is nothing new

or is it something else

Is it natural to be unfeeling? 


Am I a psychopath?

I want to meet an alien

What would the fingers of someone I love

Feel like going through my hair

I want invisibility like a chameleon


Even when I sleep

My mind refuses rest

The dreams I have

are so full of colour

I don't want it to end 


I howl with wolves

I sleep with dragons  

With a swipe of my sword

I take down witches 

So many lands I don't want to abandon


The darkest nights 

Lead my mind to wander

and although once afraid

of being blanketed in black

I now grow fonder
