Dark Nights

looming and dense

somethings simmering 

smell the stench?

the nights are getting darker

i know the stars 

appear dull and far

but the city lights

are immense and bright

and sporadically might

shine a little longer  

but it seems nights are getting darker

a black cat told me prowling one night

as she purred her sweet song

i heard her plead strong

go low underground 

in earth old and hard

there's light to be found 

loves calling card 

but for now lay low

love yourself and talk slow

listen to the flow

as the nights start getting darker

less shimmer around the world 

you'll hear screams of anguish 

from women boys and girls 

the veil is breaking

the people are angry  

give them less but less to lose

and a shadow to remove

as the nights start getting darker

if you see it don't sweat it

fortunes change, things rearrange

you could drown and regret it

cuz things are wavy

in the ruffled quilt of night 

but upstream there's a flight 

beaming across the sky

shining like the sun 

the angels freely fly

and you'll be left behind

if anger leaves you blind

the relentless need rest

let it pass through

find some pjs 

to slip into

after the darkest of the nights

you'll wake up brand new

to an endless dream:

love is everything

and you're in it, too
