Night's Allure

Thoughts drifting into night's allure pace up and down, as day retreats. A dark cloak of blackness saturates slumbering towns and desolate streets. Halcyon of ambient moon enshroud hypnosis on drooping drowsy eyelids. A sullen soul in shadow of it's splatter odyssey of sorrow skates and skids. Modulated in weight of volatile voices that quarrel caged in raucous clamour, waves of night usher beauty of dreams An ocher sky of stars glitter in glamour. Far from the melee of neon billboards footsteps of stars in horoscope unsure. Time waits for a black sea to turn blue with thoughts drifting into night's allure.
