My Dark Nights

At the distant verge of horizon Slowly submerging is weary Sun With reddened face Bidding grudging adieus To his day long drudging Brooding over mandatory next come I stood there staring at Him I wanted to say “don’t depart” In an automatic reflex I lifted my right hand aloft! Nay! He didn’t stop! I wept! As feared reemerging are my Horror-ogres, with creepy insurgence A dirge from distant mountain range Barged inside my fragile core With harrowing clangor Oozing out acid-reminiscences From burrows of my bruised past Started corroding once more My already well-abraded heart The dark thickets of moonless night Are thickening my tiresome thoughts I wriggle on my bed like a sloughing serpent In an insomniac discomfort getting ready For deadly duels with my night spirits My only hope! A quick crack of dawn! To restart my histrionics and harlequinade amongst my people; and dazzle one more day Making fun and pleasing everyone With my feigned charm and exuberance Dreading inside the night at imminence
