Darkness falls into endless sleep
Ego spawns, grows to overleap
This dark enemy gloats with glee
A silent death I shall be free
Demons expose the tools of use
With great happiness, self abuse
As if to be an open quay
A silent death I shall be free
Angst of worried despair and grief
There is no end nor no relief
Torture oozes from this emcee
A silent death I shall be free
To kill this ego deep inside
My focused mind becomes clear-eyed
Filled with peace, joy and so much glee
A vibrant life I shall be free
Context
Be like water - still, calm or move rapidly with momentum to bring fresh life.
Even the egotistic ocean of wild seas soon settles to be greeted by the warmth of the sun.

Form: Kyrielle
As the evening draws nigh and one wonders why
That, the joy of the game is the winning;
Do we really know! is it really so!
That the end of the day is the beginning ?
For, the dark is the time, even though it's a crime,
A transgression devoid of one's choosing
And, between me and you we see that it's true
The real joy of the game is the losing.
Yet, when we grow older our essays grow colder
As the cease of the day slowly nears
And, as sure as the sun, the win can't be won
So, the joy of the game disappears.
Now the sunlight has fled and we take to our bed
And enhance our muse with deceit
And the lapse of our sleep lets the past overleap
And we bathe in oblivion sweet'
