fanciful yet intentional verses about night


vampyr

the life I live these days
as one

no sleep at night
but rather after dawn

insomnia

stress from above

the hours at night are clear
and
frankly
I want them

so no pointy things around me
please

I’m still so tired all the time
I’m sure I’d pierce some part of me
with those


at 11:11

a time for me and God
a time
that
God approves

a small thing between us
two
something the world shouldn’t
mind
or try to
take away

maybe you have your times
throughout the day
that
read specially to you and the one
protecting
all
our intimacies


evening drive

the rain is romantic

I can go by houses lighted for night

pretend the yellow lines are clear

drive past the occasional
driveway
sometimes pretending one
or another
could
be mine
