Midnight Son

Oh, those days of a Midnight Son
Of wild abandon
Love on the run

When sunset goals invade the brain
And hijack thoughts
A one-way train

For life begins at 12 am
At clubs and bars
No rules to stem

In rendezvous, in tryst of love
Where lusts prevail
Affairs thereof

Alas, a Midnight Son grows old
Yet, memories stand
In thoughts paroled

As a once midnight daughter this drew me in and I recognized bits of my younger self in your stanzas. Your poem was like a visit to the past, an enjoyable one because time only kept the good parts. That may just be my watch. Well done. Blessings ... CayCay

It is funny how the years change us when we think they never will, like enjoying long hair music. A lovely nostalgic piece Mike! : )
