on the horizon of a fairytale

Nighttime Poet…


He never sleeps…wandering empty halls
through the night having awakened while
reaching in a dream, reaching for a heart
hovering in a fog just beyond his grasp

The silence, screaming words in poetic
verse, echoes throughout him. Haunted by
the resounding hollow of the beating of
his own heart, he purges his soul.

With scalpel like pen, he reveals the
workings of his passions, delicately
dismembering yearnings for romance, falling
to the seduction of yet another sleepless
night of echoes.

This is wonderful!  One suggestion:  you wrote "wondering the halls"--did you mean "wandering the halls"?

Fabulous write.  I loved it.  It fit into my insomnia  

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
