past midnight i cannot sleep not when the currents of the night drawing me in my kuti is alight with transparent beams who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? my eyes are shut but yet open i want to move but where is my being ? i see through the walls through dark waves who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? sinking …. sinking… further and beyond thoughts flaring no handles to hold on not even sipping those lips that once lured in who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? darkness is light light is darkness one and the same the same emptiness void has no colour the colour is ego the night is not dark and it is not a black stream. © Malintha Perera 2014

I Am the Night
past midnight i cannot sleep not when the currents of the night drawing me in my kuti is alight with transparent beams who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? my eyes are shut but yet open i want to move but where is my being ? i see through the walls through dark waves who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? sinking …. sinking… further and beyond thoughts flaring no handles to hold on not even sipping those lips that once lured in who said the night is dark and the dark is a black stream ? darkness is light light is darkness one and the same the same emptiness void has no colour the colour is ego the night is not dark and it is not a black stream. © Malintha Perera 2014
