When Night Falls—1

   Sometimes I pray for the light of day
I welcome the distraction of my mind
Sometimes at night I wish that
My visions were not so well defined

I really have left my past behind but
Those pesky cobwebs still hang
They’re In the attic of my brain at it
Reminds me of when sorrow sang

Most days and nights I get through
And I am left completely un phased
But something sparks a memory and
It can’t leave me completely unscathed

I’ve learned to rely on Jesus
And the visions I can quickly dismiss
And there were good times and
It’s healthy to reminisce

But I confess without warning
Frighteningly I will awaken
And the sweat and tears are flowing
And I am left shaken

The visions of what was long ago
Come straight from the Devils castle halls
And forgive me but it’s the reason why
Sometimes I dread it when night falls

               When Night Falls —2

   Sometimes the day is too long
And it lacks in its charms
Sometimes I pray for the day to end
So that I can be in my baby’s arms

When I wake up I’m next to her
It’s the only place that I want to be
When the work day is done I know
She’ll be there with me

We’re so good together
And it comes as no surprise
I knew we were meant for each other
The moment I looked into her eyes

I give Jesus my praise
And I thank him for his love
I will forever be in his debt
For the gift he sent from above

When I’m in her presence
Believe when I say and I’m not faken
My knees still get weak and I
Can’t keep them from shaken

So I guess you could say it’s forever love
I always come running when she calls
And I can’t wait for the day to end
And I cherish the time when night falls

            When Night Falls—3

   Sometimes when I’m working
Time ticks away so **** slow
I know it’s wrong to wish the moments away
But sometimes I just wanna go

Sometimes knowing it’s five o’clock
Somewhere gets me to thinking
I wish I was at a party somewhere
And I could be dancing and drinking

I thank God for my job and my life
I enjoy what I do, it’s a form of giving
But sometimes I wish I had more time
For fun and more time for living

So don’t get me wrong
I don’t want it to be mistaken
But I know somewhere there’s people
Out on the dance floor doin some shaken

I just wanna be somewhere with my baby
When my day of working is done
I want to be the life of the party
I just wanna have some fun

So let me go to the club and get the
Party started within its walls
Sometimes you just gotta get away from
It all and enjoy yourself when night falls

                  When Night Falls—4

  Sometimes I rush through my chores
With so much to be done
But it’s a race against time
Trying to beat the setting Sun

I’m always aware of my surroundings
I have no choice for my survival
One mistake is all it takes, there’ll
Be no chance for a reprisal

I thank God for each day and I know
There’s no since In wishin and hopin
And all throughout the night
I’m sleeping with one eye open

There’s the sounds in the wilderness
The crickets the toads and the Owl
The singing birds the deer and bear
The fish jumping and the wolves howl

But there’s a sound that I hear in the
Woods and it’s really just unnatural
I’m sure that it’s a huge hairy beast
But I have no evidence collateral

But you can believe me when I say
That it does exist, for I’ve seen its eyeballs
And I’ve spent days praying for a never
Ending Sun, never a time when night falls

As a writer I never know where I am going
To go when I get an idea.
I always get the title first. That’s the idea
(Old Ones) (Apocalyptic Sky)
(When Sorrow Sang) and so on.
I was putting my clothes away the other day
Listening to music. Wham out of nowhere
(When Night Falls) popped into my head
I cannot write it fast enough with one thumb typing, too funny but that’s how I do it.
With my dark past the original version is what came out. The title however can really be taken anyway it wants to go. This is true with anything. Poetry, plays, songs, movies.
And I thought why not put a little romantic touch on it. Version 2 and I thought how about the working class. Version 3
Then I thought of Horror. Version 4
Please rate them using their assigned number 1-2-3-or 4
And tell me why. Also don’t be afraid of being Critical. I’m 58, I can handle it.
God Bless!!!
