Nocturnal Regime
With a heavy heart,
and a restless dream.
Waking up in time
Of the nocturnal regime.
Looking for a way,
To end my plight.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
When no one dares,
To speak-out aloud.
And the cemetery has,
The only crowd.
When the moon sheds,
The only light.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
Every sound,
So loud and clear.
And whispering shadows
Call you near.
When the dogs rule,
Howl and fight.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
Walking aimlessly,
To unknown places.
Or searching my haunts,
To find past traces.
Sensed by creatures,
But still out of sight.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
Lusting and longing,
For a woman’s touch.
But too late for that,
I knew as much.
Born of this earth,
with the ether we reunite.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
With no food or drink.
That’ll quench my thirst.
Nor any soft bed,
That’ll rest the cursed.
To search a way,
A fluttering flame may ignite.
I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.
Returning now,
to my abode.
Cursing the curse,
That on me bestowed.
Some sins were such,
the lord never forgave.
And thus at dawn,
I re-enter my grave.
What i missed the most,
Was his glorious light,
When I stepped out slowly,
One fine night.

Images I could see
appearing before my eyes.
dawn, i could grasp by hand
and let go of.
walked, I in the lawn of your poem
and had my heels and heart
cured of the brisk pace
they had fallen prey to.
Thanks
