Within This Night
Musky smellevokes memories;
the eve of fall
as leaves spin
endless from heaven.
Cool breezes to ruffle
grass-fading away;
life turns to death
as morning to night.
Restless spirit
take flight.
Endless shadows
stretch far into
the debths of ole;
beware the toll-
for its hold.
Midnight markings
in which one sees-
the final task
leads thee forth.
Must I take this path,
you ask?
Foolish mortal-
bow to me.
Stars look down
on endless seas-
frightning me,
calling me.
Is this real or but a dream.
Can not know,
will not know.
Pull within,
escape this nightmare;
all to see
this weakness within me.
Can I bare this pain?
Sunset beckons,
silently-
beckons forth
this lonely soul.
Time to rest-
sleep and dream;
forget the past,
it is at rest.
My heart bleeds,
listen to its
thump..thump..thump...
