I Wish It Was You

I hold my pillow close as the darkness settles in,

Shadows engorge those tiny fears I have hidden away,

The wind whistles to me, a sound so spooky,

The periodic steps of the clock echoing on the path of my imagination,

The darkest thoughts rising, pushing past the sleep,

Emanating from the deepest trench of memory,

I look up to the wall above, a reel of emotions passing by,

I smile, I shake my head, I sigh in relief,

I grumble a word or two, inaudible to my mouth as well,

I feel the silence growing, I feel the void widening,

I feel the pain, the loneliness, the sorrow, all in full glory,

I close my eyes to shut out the circus around,

I only feel myself, all alone, the pillow my companion,

As the night consumes me, I wish again it were you who I was holding.

A Brother Of The Night's Watch

I lay awake in the darkness,

Battling while the world sleeps,

Peace it is for them,

But for me, nothing,

As I fight, the urge to doze off,

As it consumes me, whole,

Yes it does, this war of thoughts,

As I wait with my sword,

Pen though I must say,

Mightier it is, and sharper too,

With the words raining down,

I’m just a silhouette,

An outline in the shadows,

I’m a part of the Black,

Waiting my turn, to rage forward,

And to engage the enemy,

Till I am taken down,

To rise again with the sun,

To be reborn the next morn,

With the new son, and new dreams,

New wishes, new thoughts,

But I shall remain truly a brother,

A brother of the night’s watch.

Nightmare..

Gorgeous princess to viper,

Love moment disrupted by sniper,

Sweat trickles, eyes open.

Bat

Upturned he is found,

Locates with ultrasound,

Takes a low swoop to gorge.

Prey

At the stroke of midnight, he hobbled in on his wooden leg. A shadow in the mist with malice in his eyes, and a void in his heart.

She slithered over the harbor, hidden in the background. Towards her love, nay a ripple in the silence.

She kissed him from behind, and down he fell.
