Painting all the stars in the dim skies Night after night, I weave constellations Made of faerie dust & secret incantations, made of alchemy & love No living thing stirs in this hood of darkness, a renewal as a new moon rises Heavy silence stirs, revealing the depths of my emotions to the early heavens Immersed in a solo headphone concert, I slowly fade under the silencing tune Waking eyes squinting at the dim yet piercing light of the phone screen "4am" the time in the right corner of the phone retorts passively I shuffle to the edge of my room Stretching emphatically, making unnecessary noise from nighttime slumber To wake up for the day or return to slumber is the million dollar question Rotting in bed sheets of cold indecision Or lie awake in a sea of sleeping tongues Caffeine whispers it's sweet good mornings, calling me down the dark stair Burnt, bitter steam rises to my nostrils as the coffee brews slowly Eyes shift into positive focus I sink into my thinking chair Hearing the mild squeak as I obsess, I slowly rock to the beat of the melancholy I retreat to my world of words & poetry Where my words express the black & white jagged layers of a broken rose Whether Heaven's light or Hell's empire of pain lashings that never cease I lie in a wake of tears, unknowingness ripples just below the surface Biting at my skin a thousand times A wound of horror I grieve at morning's impending return Sequential days of tantrums seizes me Early grumblings erupt from inside my heart's internal monologue I lean beyond the sash & curtains Face gently presses against the window Searching the skies for the wondrous ball of light A pale face surveys the Moon's surface Half moon lights the way whistfully A path to the wandering labyrinth of destiny; where humanity now lies Extinguish this ever growing flame of doubt that constrains my blackened soul The blur between the lines awakens me A saviour necessitates my allegiance Waking to alleviate the nightmares & put this sleepless lament to rest
