In the Dark Silent Night

In the dark silent night the loudest sound
is your soft voice absent from the landscape 
of being and the way you painted life, 
as if I could see stars from above bound
in light of your presence; why the reshape?
Reality becomes chaotic strife. 

Dark silent night is a desperate void
nurturing nightmares to feed the midwife,
mistress of monsters reaping the brainscape~
against such horror there is no toxoid,
no path-finding fife.
