SILENT NIGHTS
Dark, eerie, silent nights
longing for the moon
to bathe in its light
Occasional chirping crickets
and vampire bats sucking blood,
blocking the southern sky
break the monotonous silence
It makes me wonder,
how long could it get
before I could see you again…
just mere thoughts of it
I can not simply endure
Dark, eerie, silent nights
are the only solace
for this poet’s lonely soul
They keep me company
while confined to my thoughts,
until I bare them all…
Sometimes silent nights
are killing the loudness
of my voice that no one hears
You have no idea how it feels
when the world around
seems to crumble and fall
How many more silent nights
will it take before
you finally realize
that this crazy world
is not mine to keep?

Yes almost the agony thoughts can bring! They almost do keep you company in your own world still & quiet at night! I read this during afternoon but i felt like a dark poetic relatable cloud covered me.

Sometimes silent nights can either be good or bad depending on your mood. That's the best time for me to get creative regardless of my mood.
Thank you mate!

Thanks for your wonderful comment Glynis. Most of us gets creative when the night is peaceful and calm. That's when good writes are born.

"Dark eerie silent nights

...the silence in lonely nights, creates the most beautiful ink. ;) Xo

Sometimes silence provides the inspiration for us to write something worthy and beautiful, yet there were times that too much silence could be a distraction taking our minds nowhere.
Thanks Rain for the lovely comment!
