Black Outs

As the rain patters against the roof
The chilly wind kisses my skin
The night pulls me out of the room
Welcoming me with a white so dim

As I try to hear nature among the noise
The murmurs of folks
A cracking singing voice
The shouts of drunk boisterous oafs

I hear my longing
I feel the creeping fear
A spot of candle lighting
An orange shy and sheer

I embrace the disturbing peace
As I witness dark clouds devour the moon
O the rocks to go through to reach the seas
I always shed a tear too soon
