PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I trust the night

it soothes my battered heart

its darkness embraces the loneliness

until it is no longer felt

I shine under its watchful eye

but only here

escape from the harsher realities

becomes paramount

but is only possible as my protective

friend the night

approaches

dawn has her own uses

but the night supports my habit

the undying need to disappear sometimes

even if its only for a little while...........
