Night
shadows fall as
The sun sings his curtain-call
Eerily stalking in stark apparition.
Should be a time for peaceful reflection,
A full day tomorrow… must be refreshed.
Cannot be slave to inane inconveniences.
Won’t let clear nuisances get in the way.
But demons have other ideas and intentions.
They skulk in the background ready to pounce
At the first sign of slumber
Dredging up images,
Horrors, unthinkable, pulled from the past.
So long ago in a faraway place
Gone in an instant without a trace.
Oh, God, how long must this wicked night last?

The sun sings his curtain-call
Eerily stalking in stark apparition.
Should be a time for peaceful reflection,
Soothing
and still at the end of the day.
Soon
eyes must close
As
sleep is a requisite. A full day tomorrow… must be refreshed.
Cannot be slave to inane inconveniences.
Won’t let clear nuisances get in the way.
But demons have other ideas and intentions.
They skulk in the background ready to pounce
At the first sign of slumber
Dredging up images,
Horrors, unthinkable, pulled from the past.
So long ago in a faraway place
Nightmares
that time can never erase
One
moment there, bright smiling face, then Gone in an instant without a trace.
Oh, God, how long must this wicked night last?
