Rising With the Sun

Let the sunlight peak within the cracks and emerge
From the deep, dark shadows of the dusk from
The night before. Darling, let it force and urge
You out of bed as you face the day. Let it numb
The sleep that would not arrive as you lay tossing
And turning in your messy bed. The dry drought
Is forgotten. It is a new bridge you will be crossing
Over and into another day. Let us forget about
Mistakes and errors you already made because
The bright sun will erase them all just like that.
It serves as a reminder to enjoy every pause
And lingering moment when the sun is not flat.

ARISE AT SUNSET

Arise Master
The sun has set
Time to take flight
To search for lovers
Making love in the night

Suck the neck of Romeo
And the throat of Juliet
Fortified with passion
Lusty blood is the best
Love with no regrets
Is the sweetest vintage red

But make haste to return
When morning birds begin their song
Signaling the coming of the dawn
For if dark has replaced the light
Before you're tucked in tight
Your immortality ends

And you'll know true death
Like all other
Thousand year old humans

wonder about a sunny day

I was wondering on my way
 
If we’d have a sunny day.
 
It is not too much to ask
 
It is so free to go and bask.
 
Some would prefer to stay inside
 
Others see the sun their bride.
 
Some can see the sun at home
 
Behind the screen sat on a throne.
 
I prefer to have both ways
 
Watching you and the sun rays.
 
They are one bright and matching thing
 
Shelter the rays under your wing.

balls of fire

what is it to be

a creature of the night

to cower in the desperate cries of
the multitude
 
stars fill the skies in the dark
because they're the ones afraid

they don't have the balls to shed truth

to stand alone

takes conviction

and the willingness to get close
so close you hurt them, a little

one among millions just means
daddy forgot to wrap up that

night

brings out the hordes
for drunken conquests
witnessed by

Big & Little
the three bears
North
and the usual suspects

fuck that

I wanna be a true sun

take care of my mother

enlighten my children

not many have the balls for that

Gimme The Night  

I can’t remember the last time I saw a sunrise
I witness them every morning but I don’t see them
Blinds down, curtains closed like patterned coffin lids
I flit in and out of sleep, the pains are intermittent
But strong enough to repeatedly wake me up
I need medication but it is too early to indulge
I drift in and out until mid-morning. Seems excessive
I wake every morning with the mother of all hangovers
Mornings just make me feel like shit. Medication time
Lunch time and the medication begins to kick in
Afternoons come and go mostly they are uneventful
Evening rolls in as I roll out now ready to face whatever
Sunset is my favourite time it’s a switch thrown
A lever pulled it’s like I’ve been kick started lively
Darkness is everything
I own the night and
The night owns me
Nocturnal slavery
Euphoric insomnia
My levels of activity race ahead, all of a sudden I am busy
Levels of inspiration and creativity come to a rolling boil
Poems much like this one, ideas for poems like this one
Use different mediums, computer, paper eraser and pencil
Everything is mood driven and the driver is the sunset
The vehicle is darkness where I perform at my level best
You can have the sunrise
You can have the morning
I need to have the sunset
The darkness that follows
That is my time
Gimme the night
Disco music plays
Gimme the night
