Kill the Night
The knots twist down my bleached hair
 Making a cascade of tattered waves
 Whispering wind in the cool, damp air
 Persuades me to escape to the caves
 
 A storm is brewing in the darkened sky
 Clouds black with madness and fury
 Tears leak with the night's great cry
 The sun's pushed by the moon in a hurry
 
 She looks old and lonely tonight
 With wrinkles imprinting her white face
 Her emotions show sense of horror and fright
 As she cries and the mystic clouds chase
 
 I look down at my withered, drawn hand
 The flesh torn and bleeding from use
 A weird fog settles across peculiar land
 My cold eyes worry now from solemn youth
 
 When it becomes the shadows lurk out
 Waiting for their perfect moment, strike a pounce
 Hugging me, while luminous stars shout
 I keep hidden until the pastel colors announce
 
 Light is coming from the calming sea
 As the sun fights his way up to the moon
 He challenges her with superior authority
 Victory comes with it's own tune
 
 I creep out of my bunker unaware
 Of the delight of a passing tempest
 The celestial sphere has gained new affair
 With intensity of blue's kiss, blessed
 
 I smile again in the warmth of his rays
 Laughing at the shivers they send
 I look up and hold his flaming gaze
 He let my scared eyes work their mend
 
 No longer do I feel panicked as I'd been
 Of becoming the moon's new soul
 As I believe in his illumination again 
 Twilight cannot burn somber as coal
 
 I am secure, she shall not get me
 For I pose able-hearted and brave
 Since sun taught me to grin and blissfully be
 I stand on nightmare's horrid grave
