Is it not beautful
the night horizon
covering days dowdy
blues and greens
with eternal gray

All breaths taken
as the sun sinks
into blackness
eaten by the night
by power its right

Darkness in us
Walks tall proud
In night fears
pull you into dreams
nightmares call

The bogieman stalks
Victims of belief
Night people balk
At creations grief
hold your tongue

The Action turns
to the suns return
the demons sink
back to the brink
and wait for the night to come again


  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

now this is the Walter, prince of darkness we all know..another great one...I see your feeling inspired today...I'm on to the next one.jm

 When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger...
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool.

Jackson Browne

i very much enjoyed the flow of this, and the story it told. i found many more meanings than the obvious. wether meant to be or not i read this more metaphorically than literally. great work walter.

Excellent verse Walter...with incredible imagery! I can see that I can learn much at this forum.
