The Edge of Midnite

-- A poetic glimpse into the metaphysical world of ' The twilight Zone '





The edge of midnite,
   not quite day or night,
   not quite death or life ---
What realms do I wander your curtained halls?

No mere mortal can shed the rust from your bones ---
   and solve thy mystery;
   a thing that should not be,
   nestled between life and dreams,
   so brief it whimpers in the dark and is gone....

Yet, you are there, and return,
   something faceless;
   no dance nor melody could live to breathe one breath;

You will live a thousand years more ----
   tell me ---- darkling lord:

What shall bring your death?

You do dark as well as any other my friend. Very strong, and dark with underlying currents . Super 7 ..

Thanks Arthur, wasn't easy writing; I don't typically tackle 'dark writes' but I'm a 'painter' who uses all the shades if I can from time to time, Mystery of itself always has dark shades, hence the unknown. Glad you enjoyed! Keith;-)
