Stole the Night
capture the night
a cradle of rest
breached only
by your crescent
moon
raped the day
spreads its light
the robber never
caught in the middle
of her
seasons please my
mood , entice my
appetite for your
honey , nectar of
life
pale and darkened
by fever of a plague
in the san dimas epidemic
parked
left to my own understanding
i forgot to take the dog out
filled hurting and constipated
thought she was just nervous
explosion
don't leave me in my time
for the existence if me is drawn
dug in deep this lush soil of
night and of day , no dismay
dead ,rest
for your silence stole the night
celebrate the quiet in you
flying in the cool breeze
high above the air , cold
left the nightmares and song
for they went looking for you
are they going to capture you
steal your innocents and dreams
all alone now except for your
memories , feathers fill the room
in your death we will live
what is left of this life without you
a shadow of doubt
a shadow of a shadow
a figure in the night
left all alone
and a stare
a glare
we need to feel the heartbeat of life
so you cried from the heavens
washed time from our faces
screaming thunder from the silence
now we close our eyes forever
nothing remains the same again
because your silence stole the night
