On the Balcony of the Night
Standing on the balcony of the night
I watch the desolate street below
The rule of darkness is now set
Total tranquility and peace
No more shedding tears
No more loneliness to hold
Shivering as winter hands embrace my body
Turning around and entering sanctuary
Out of the shadows it shines
That blazing white orb of the night
Illuminating all that fall in its gaze
Slowly the light filters through
Revealing the place where I belong
Mounds of hard flesh wrapped in silk lay there
No sound or movement disturb this room
Other than life giving air rushing into the being
The ancient wishes once told
Have now been answered
No more shedding tears
No more loneliness to hold
The aura has been disturbed
Looking back on the bed
The gates of the soul calls out to me
The penetrating gaze calls me back
I slowly made my way to the bed
I began to lie down onto my hold
An arm made its way around me
No more shedding tears
No more loneliness to hold
This warmth allows me to enter the realm of Morpheus
To begin my waiting hope for the new dawn
