So long, blinking in the quietness,
wandering for time without count,
gaps appear in the night to remind
you are there still, waiting to walk in.
Curious light peers through the chinks
and I race to block the holes one by one.
Close out the light, block the dreams,
tomorrow is not where you belong
stay in yesterday with the pain and joys.
Pedestals in my mind suit you best
sweet angel of mercy and sorrow!
Dreams are supposed to bring hope,
don't visit any on me, please!
Shut out the sun and moon's glow
Sepulcheral solemnity suits me fine.
Ghostly rhythms in my heart for light
is enough to hold me against the cold.
Bring down the shades over my eyes
but not because I love the dark!
Do it to show kindness to one
addicted to your Incandescence.
