'Midnight numbness'
While my night begins creeping over a quilt,
a lurking shadow slithering from the darkest corner,
the cravings keep the subsidiary sleep!

where are the kisses sold we are getting old?

as drowsy as the eyelids of a sage
submitting to dark without love i mark,
from tomorrow i'll reign, from tomorrow is my power!

every shred of the room is as dark as my soul,
as black as coal,

reveries of my fate unwillingly follow,
no truce they allow the shaking heartbeats,
fill up the missing rhymes of my poem,

how long is my defeat, how long can i loose!

a snooze and the chattering footsteps through snow,
evoke the righteousness out of it,

a heart with me, a heart-misfit,

a worshiper is armored with unmatched faith,
that cuts through the dark heaps of snow,

if i could know the depth of his love,
i'd be unworried, i'd be asleep by now.
