Stifling Nights


Through clouded windows she sees light

Lite breeze rolls through the night

Night falls on the pavement

Paves the way for the soul

Soulful music through the air

His airs stifling with knowledge

Knowing full, the moons darkness

Dark knight screams, save

Save the soul, suppress the image

Imagine the visually, eccentric illuminate of the mind

Minding the details of the battered and bruised

Brewing the sweet, sweet tea to forget

Forgot the time, don’t flinch yet

Yesterday hoping for the new day

Today seeking the tomorrow

Tomorrow living for the day

The yesterday that will never return

Return never to the sorrowful light

Light the way for the prevailing night

Knight waits, in earnest and honest STOP!

Stop the wait, it creates the hate

Hate the wait, hate the knight, hate the soulful air

Air out the wait, make the move to modify

Modify the self to stand, to breath, to see the light past the clouded windows

Winds are real, step forward and feel

Feelings forgotten in the night, awaken in the day light
