The hours of the night
pass my window like theives,
who come to prance outside
to laugh and amuse themselves with me.

They stare into my solice
attempting to shackel my mind,
so they can have what lays
my sacred completion I keep inside.

Another price that I must pay
to stand witness of hours pain,
as paper and pen shall meet
and the hours shall have what they seek.

And penned so perfectly my friend.  You have said much with few words.

Michael, in this poem you've given time (the "hours") a dark and ulterior motive...an interesting perspective. I enjoyed it!

Michael-Tis true...within the pen and paper comes the passing of time
As we all sit and write looking for that perfect verse of rhyme
Your words have said it... truer words were
never spoken
Please accept my smile I give you...though
it is only a small token

WONDERFUL WORDS MICHAEL.......
