I try to drift into the dust of sleep
but my weak mind starts to play tricks on me
aware that as darkness wraps around me
glimmers of nightmarish dreams taunt at me

Night looms ahead like an eternity
I feel the darkness throbbing upon me
a sorcerer casting a net on me
holding me fascinated by its spell.

Despair clutches me in mental freefall
sucking refuse into a well of black
my breath dissipates into the shadows
unraveling deep emotional threads

I crave for the moon on a cloudless sky
the pink flush of dawn poised over the sea.

No one should ever spend the nights you write of alone, though from great pain and great fear comes my kind of poetry.

It makes one feel...and think.

Splendid.

There is sunshine just around the corner, jjote. I know that is an old phrase, but it is one which harbors much truth.

Good to read you again jjote,
"I crave for the moon on a cloudless sky
the pink flush of dawn poised over the sea."
felt that myself a time or two..
metaphors that linger..
