There comes a final  hush
from the days crazy rush
this  deafening silence falls
amongst these  hardened walls

The day is done I guess?
I suppose it gave it's best
for others they seem content
Not me,  I am not yet spent!

My world comes alive at night
colors of rainbows in my sight
soon they vividly dance in my head
reflections of what the day has said

The last words when you fled
before going to your steel bed
boring as they may  
you had your final say
I was left without a flame
As usual, I was to blame

fairies dance around
in my eyes  they abound
I am not ready you see
to go to that dream fantasy

I am still full of fire
steaming  words of desire
they leap off of my heart
my world they impart
unto the page they flow
my night is now aglow!

Alone with   the words I write
why can't they make me feel
happy and free from fright?
warmth is  what I crave
while awake tonight

I am still stirring at this late hour
maybe I need a cold shower!
the ones I truly want are in bed
maybe I should be there instead?

Why can't I go to sleep
rest in slumber so deep
I feel the restless stir coming on
I think it just might last til the dawn!

Excellent flow pattern here.  I felt as if you were talking just to me.  A very good read.

how well I can relate to the midnight musings.
Great poem, well done!

I'm with Kethry on this one, and I'll add that isn't it strange how you can handle 'things' during the sunlight hours but at night, that is when the heart and soul yearn, dream and fantasize often leaving you sleepless...  Great stuff hon
