my sleepless eyes ...

night has a way of capturing
everything
but my sleepless eyes

find a certain harmony
in knowing
rain still makes
a soothing fall
even though you don't
see drops
through night's void

songs of birds
so heavy in early morn
runs fast away from
night's hunger
but twilight pangs
for every note

morning glories
bloom every dawn
but hide their faces
knowing night's
dark charm and
thieving ways

please, night of tonight
come like the kidnapper
take hostage of
my sleepless eyes

beg, night keep your pact
with morning's sun
return them to me
when you are done

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.
