Untitled

Midnight beckons
with perfect complacency
knowing it is hours away
from daylight
Together we heed the call
with mist in our breaths
as lost songs gather strength
in the thin air of denial
Right or wrong losing meaning
with every passing note
as you engulf me
in such silvery darkness
it borders on illegitimate light
I close my eyes, clench my teeth,
lest my soul fly away. . .
