night – C & K

Complicated

a shell by day
a man of flesh and blood
by candlelight

against the world by day
arriving home
in love with life by night

a love arrives
for your vespertine heart
endless night

The winter night comes.
Pastel persimmon and pink,
with fiery orange.
The sky turns to violet,
indigo and the darkness.

Walking amongst the old guardians,
the ancient ones who know all of our secrets.

Within the trees, we search for the old place,
where the water runs clear and blue.

Whispering trees tell each other their stories,
we find the lake in the starless night.

Wishing for a miracle or a sign from the gods,
the path of the Moonglade is truth.

Moon rays
move from
brittle light,
so bright,
to teal,
to black.

Illuminating the
clear night,
so bright,
full of light,
tonight.

Flickering sea colours
Soft phosphorescent flickering, sea colours rise into the night.

Illuminous coral colours
Heavy, subdued, luminous waves of sea colours wash across the city.

Melting sea colours
Light meets dark between the city and the night.

sky twilight colours
unknown feelings start to come
colours change again
there will be no more warm sun
for the moonlit night has come

watching the last colours
grey, mauve, dirty white
distant layers of lost coral

disconnected in the dark
the tip of my nose feels cold
a quiet feeling at five pm

the coral layers are no more
between twilight and the night
my whole nose is cold now

Night turns to day,
Day turns to night.
Night and Day become
meaningless states of being.

Insomnia takes hold,
a cursed Monday child;
the moon loves them so.

Writing in the cold and quiet
night where dreams once lived.
Where have our dreams gone?
Dreams have taken over the Day.

Deconstructed horrors, terrible acts,
death and torture, our daily drugs.

Gorging on nightmares throughout the day,
wishing for dreams to stay in the night-
Far away.

Assist the night

Stay up until the light

Reading tonight
