Affairs of the Night


Night seems more alive
For there's this 
Violent affair of the peace.
Cries the sky
In the heavenly wars 
behind the clouds
Pink with blood.
Yet , in the bloodied massacre
Night drinks life
As the armour of the lies
Comes undone.
I lay awake ,
Each night for my 
demon pays me a visit
I owe him a talk
So does he to me. 
As a saint he enters 
In pain 
For being thrown out of heaven.
Night is alive , 
And guilty of theft ,
A callous artist of dreams. 
The conflicts of my choices
Stay in my room ,
As the Demon gratified me 
How an Angel couldn't.
May I not derive
Power from death 
And dearth of empathy
But don't I seek
Sucking the life out 
To store them in a vial 
with spirits
And be the judge of their sins.
Who am I they ask
Who am I , I ask too.
But all I ascertain 
That I'm the connoisseur
Of the night
Sustaining more life
Than the human kind.
The red oil in my heart 
Spills each night
And I manifest my court 
I sit on the throne of glass.
I am the perjure here
I am the king
And I am the jury.
And with all the unfair means 
In my court , the starlight wins
Against the sun.
I see dark in these lights
And pity those who feel dead.
I see light in the dark here 
And smirk with my purposes
And spread the word 
How night is alive , 
Night is peace.
Nights are for the theft 
An artist would do,
For the urgency
To appease the sonneteer 
And for the chanteuse 
To let the sky fall for her.
In the hours of the dark
When the moon skylarks 
And they succumb
To the sleep of placidity
Oblivious to the carnival
Of decay in the sky.
The carnival with the war
And the war goes on 
Behind the clouds.
The angels cry 
and so does the demon
The satan pays the visits
And the starlight 
Doesn't cease to amaze me.
In the violence of the night
Peace stays in silence
The war goes on within me
And night keeps me alive.

I seem to have a cold heart.

I didn't miss much on love,
I suppose. 
Walking home with my friends
Who gossiped of break ups
And patch-ups
I wondered how broken heart
Eased all over again. 
Was that little touch enough
To fall for the same mess
Didn't the hurt suffice them
Their snippets seemed so gory
Maybe I've a cold heart. 
Yes , I do have a cold heart.
So cold 
That the fire of love subsumes itself
And vanishes. 
I might not have missed much on love , though
The girls told tales so fancy 
How love was to them 
Like jazz music in the library
Or the olives in your margarita.
They said love was like whiskey
On the rooftop under the starry sky.
But what I heard was how
Love was the emptiness in the room
Where I could hear the creaky wooden floor
And scare myself. 
If love was anything to me , 
It was a sweet death
No matter how sweet but was death. 
And I didn't want to die 
In this phenomenon of goosechase.
Oh my , did I not want to dance tonight 
Or did I just had a cold heart
