'o Stormy Nights

'O Stormy Nights From the left I sat in the corner Above which the moon shimmered frightfully near Brought forth and summoned here The young moon's radiant voice Painted pictures of intricately layered laments Over the decaying bones of the dead This brought to my attention The sinner's stone clutched in my hands Shattering my doomed façade For as the voices grew stronger A white fire seeped into the crevasses of my chest Quickly burning away innocence But from the charred remains Was born a pheonix with elogant red wings Wrapped around an icy blue stone With eyes as gorgeous as sapphire They spotlighted my heart for the world to see Bringing forth my spirit With a windswept gaze I watched As the ghost reflection of myself mounted the pheonix Leaping out into the open night It was a spiritual dance of fire and rain Mixing together with a resounding crash of thunder But left me clearly untouched From the ruby red back I watched the lands From twilight sprinkled cities to open fields fall away The speed of flight refreshing and revitalizing Yet from the flight I was thrust Speeding ever faster toward inky blackness Until scarlet stars burst before my eyes And awoke I did sitting in the corner Looking out my window to see the storming night Summoned from my dreams
