Nighttime Revelations - Soliloquium

Darkening, the dead of night

A distant shine of city lights

These barren halls echo empty

Sleep fails to come to my avail

Reanimate these tiring movements

An aimless masquerade

Limbs react reluctantly

Repeating events

Worn down roads

Familiar faces flock the pathways

An infernal design

Beneath the surface lingers

An idle sense of desperation

Procrastinations emerge

Days mold into one

Becomes a way of life

Machine like motions that fill the day

Sleep, a woeful concept

As nightmares plague the hours

Stare upon a ticking clock, a gloomy window

The silence of a sleeping world

Tomorrow’s turmoil infecting the night

A perpetual state of panic

These nighttime revelations

Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep

Ever present consternation

Thoughts of past and future dread

These nighttime revelations

Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep

Ever-present consternation

Avid companion of night

Vacant eyes in clouded hibernation

Collision course with a vibrant world

Vexatious storms beyond the daily pace

The affliction of the outcast

Pervasive nothingness

Erupting, eroding

I wield and I havoc

I stab and I scream

As daylight arrives

A continuing search

For the ineffable

Concept of escape
