Whos Night
Who,s Night ?
It is, night ! dark as pitch black
I am, Swimming in night sweat
Towards an unreachable morning shore
whispering pillows bring hours of fear
and a cage of scrabbling arms reaching
grip my runaway,thumping heart beats
fleeing me, left prone alone shaking but still
my flickering shut eyes see through strangely
the bizarreness of its veiled cloak it hides all
Night is elusive, in its wraps, its bitter taste
But, is always conquered by morning light
If the dawn does not appear, i am lost,
realising the heavy lid is screwed down.
