Painted Personality

The waking hours of the night produce;

Soft taps of unturned faucets,

Gentle touches from moonbeams,

And the whistling wind.


Puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks

Vibrant under the late hours.

The gentle pat, pat, pat after the sobs

Driving one to madness.

Or deeper into the dark.


The pooling light far out of reach.

He's home alone.

No one to catch him.

To bring him back to the light.

A child of the night.


Whispering breezes coaxing him further out.

Window open, drapes grasping towards him.

Grabbing for the physical form.

Long lost to the whispers

No one else heard.


For he was only a Painted Personality

In the sun lite hours.


The hours of  living in the sun;

Pounding of the lively rooms,

The blazing hold from sundogs,

The cheering calls of blue jays.


Wide smiles and joyful eyes,

Shining in the morning dew.

Bang, Bang, Bang. The presence of others.

Bringing one to sanity.

Further to the light.


The consuming sun pouring into everything.

He has others around him.

Everyone to save him.

From the darkness formed.

A child wishing for the day.


Singing birds, patiently waiting for returns.

Outside, sweet odors drifting by,

Asking for his attention.

Brought by the cheering calls.

Everyone heard the peace.


For he was only true to himself

In the moon kissed hours.
