The mist of the night passes o’er me
Feeling each vapour with each breath I take
Darkness looms in the sky tonight
Reminiscence of my endless mistakes.
Cursed the crescent moon
For bringing light into this barren landscape
For tonight I want to run,
For tonight I want to escape
Resisting to open my eyes
My scared body, disfigured and fatigued
As I felt Diana’s loving touch
Only then was silence achieved
Closing my eyes a distant voice hissed,
“Sleep tight my angel for your wings shall heal soon”
I twisted and mocked, “Angel? Then why do I seek the moon?”
There is no light for I closed my eyes,
No air for I stopped breathing
I hear each beat my heart makes
Each pulse resonating
Finally there was nothing
Emptiness beyond comprehension
The silence was defining
But my mind embraces the tension
Sightless yet seen is the motion
Of surrendered energy
Suspended from gravity and forces alike
The darkness was so terrifying and yet so calm
Though reality brought a song,
The sound of silence was a psalm
Infinite orchestras, symphonies of endless music, Melodies of masters written in static
Shades of black and gray outshines
The colors on the rainbow
Serenity brings forth magnificence
Like the flight of a sparrow
Alas, my dome of tranquillity shatters
My blanket of pure ebony collapses
Beams of light bleed through the cracks,
Inviting, yet I seek warmth in darkness
I choked in the brightness
Aroused with its seducing light
My vessel of cradled solitude was crushed by Ivory and was now gone from sight
For so long I waited for the night to come
And wished for the radiant sun to deem
So that darkness will caress me ones more in the confined of my dream
Ironic as it may seem
That though I live my life in the light
But as it turns out my thoughts belong,
In the shadows of the night
