Blackened Night

I loved you in the dark
I loved you in the light
I loved the whole of you
All through the blackened night

Dying Day

The sun set
Causing the day to die
And as the day lay dying, dead
The hope I had nurtured
Died in my heart
As well

White lights
Burning bright
Lighting the darkness
Denying the night

Every night when I close my eyes
Exhausted at having stayed awake
Way past bedtime to write Daily Post

I only have to blink and I’m awake
Morning has arrived and sun greets anew
Where on earth did night escape to?

It rushed by like a train on steam
No patience for passengers
Especially none for ones like me

Who would take advantage
Of night’s midnight hours
To cram in minutes if I may

So please slow down
Dear Night I plead
Allow me to have my way with you

An extra hour or two
Would really, so deliciously
Make one very happy, productive me!

Neon light knifing
Above, slicing the night sky
Into separate halves
