Nighttime
The world turns dark when night falls
Lights switched off - my body rests
But what of that fickle mind?
Like a wild horse - it wants to gallop free
The buckles and straps are loose
I decide to let my mind roam free
To explore the deepest of fantasies
The wishes, experiences, dreams and whatnot
Feelings that no one has ever seen
Feelings that no one has ever tried to decipher
Love, hatred, hope, fear and disillusioned sadness
Wreath my heart with withered flowers
Every memory like a kiss blows over me
Some are sad-some are happy
And I'm still wide awake-staring at the dark
Wondering about tomorrow's shimmering daylight
Nighttime - its kind enough to let me be myself
Soon enough, my eyelids are heavy
And I'm swooning as if I'm on a drug
I lose it all and let myself drift..................
