He stalks like a cat.
Then he roars aloud to scare out their attempts.
He is bringing swinging claws.
Swinging from his metal paws.

He only wants the human his master thinks.
To rip apart their work stink.
His brothers rumble the ground.
They also fly from the sky circling around.

Remembering the sounds of cries of the past.
Just like his brothers to sneak a midnight snack.
Not only that but the pesky insects that feed.
As they try to fight to end a world of greed.

Roaring once more at the parasites host.
Only one can save them to grow.
He throws another roar to the wind.
To be, feed, his fill of skin.

Not to be hated but always feared by his foes.
He will go wherever his scent will go.
Try another round of joe.
What he thinks no one will ever know.

Right now we have all we need.
After the far cry is heard he is swift at the deed.
Try again and again to ravage the pain.
What he finds out might make you go insane.

How foolish of me, to
Let you slip away.
How long will this be?
Let me sleep away.
Okay? Okay.

Have you ever tried not to breathe?
Some can hold their breath for a while.
Some for only a little bit of time.

Eventually you take another breath.
Something in your body stops you
From suffocating.

Same with you.

Something doesn't let me forget you.
I keep on thinking of you.

For a while.
For a little bit of time.
I'm losing my breath...

Someone watched from below at a crooked angle,
As I carried a metal baseball bat through the parking lot.

In tattered, blood stained clothes, ripped jeans and a white t-shirt,
I continued forward, ready to do what I intended.

Through the door and up a dark, black stairwell I strode…

In a midnight rage, I shattered glass, busted walls and tables,
And growled as I felt my weapon vibrate against wood and plaster.

I demolished computers, tipped over desks
And knocked out windows, spewing glass down below.

I smiled a gritty smirk as I progressed
through my night of destruction…

I poured gasoline and lit a match,
As I walked back out into that heavy night.

With a steady stride, I left with my bat,
And from behind, felt a soothing, comforting warmth.

Lone midnight crow caws,
Dutifully out to dark;
Darkness never sleeps!

The way the surface of the water is frozen
calling for you to break its perfect state.
Crystal slate
easily fractured with the slightest touch.
Slowly ripples of different sizes make their way
across the liquid diamond
ending the tranquility it had.
Life's temporary stillness can be compared to that of a pool at midnight.

Thoughts after midnight ...

how long my night was ...
spent it with you ...
til my lips traced your lips ...
after i drew yours ...
got you as real ...
with me ...
to start kissing ..
lip to another ...
till i melted you ...
between my arms ...

yes sweetheart ...
drew you ...
and got you with me ...
last night ...
we spent together ...
so close ...
whispered one to the other ...
felt both ...
our warm breathes ...
lips by lips ...
skin on skin ...
as a beautiful doves ...
we made a sweet love ...

did you felt me ...
hope you felt me ...
as i got you ...

come sweet angel mine ...
let's believe ...
that some thing ...
will happen ...
as i drew you ...
last night ...

hazem al ..

A cigarette in the morning
To get me over the night time
I forgot to sleep again
My eyelids live on high time.

It's fine I'll just play the guitar
Drink a cup of coffee or two
Walk along to my sanctuary
In my mind I'll write songs to you

A cigarette after midnight
To overcome all this silence
I don't want to sleep again
My eyelids wait for sunrise.

Another double expresso
Until my heart starts to echo
And then I'll stop and start breathing
How d'you get rid of this feeling ?

I'm thinking again of the morning
In the red of the wine time
This bed has become me
I'll get out of here sometime.
