Gimme The Night   - - -for the Sunrise/sunset comp

 
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
