Sleepless Night
Once upon a crime at
moonlight
when the shadows stole
across the sky,
I felt your whispers broke
into my night
and roused me in a
twinkling of an eye.
I sat at the shores of ages
past...so fresh;
the nude sand breath softly
on my skin,
I was lost in the memories
of a manic-mesh:
a fragrant fire that still
burns deep within.
I gaze to find that sparkling
star
with which I crafted your
name above,
all I found was the
scourching scar
you left on the skin of our
priceless dove.
I can still hear your loudest
wishes,
in those nights we
drowned so deep
in a pool of pleasure, now
filled with ashes; I see
invisible tears of nights I
couldn't sleep.
