Darling night

Look darling night, I need to sleep
So won't you be so kind and snuggle up near my chest
entering my eyes
flow in an ink river
and let me see no light
a shroud on my thoughts
diminish my vision
let the images slowly fade
ones that permanently reside in my head
like a timed screensaver
that leisurely blots out a picture
into a blank screen
leaving a glowing imprint

Look darling night, won't you slowly creep in
into my cozy places
ones that stay unexplored
by fingers or mouths
and into my little caves
that live in lonely silence
share some of their doubts
tell them it's okay to be alone sometimes
that when they do a weeping dance
at the thought of a mere smile
it's alright to flood the gates
Or drown out the skies
