That Sweet Black Night
That sweet black night,
Blessed by that shining moon,
Her eyes,
Tearing into my soul,
Oh night,
A bitter bitch,
To tear,
To rip,
To spray my blood,
On that rock!
I was alone,
Barren darkened room,
This was life,
Spinning,
Walls spinning,
The lights flicker,
Bright,
Dark,
Bitter misery lying on the floor,
Nurses, doctors,
Gathered around,
Am I dying?
I am.
I know it.
Jesus, I know it,
Bitterness releases,
Oh gentle sweet,
Release.
I am alive,
Maybe,
Clear.
Heartbeat.
I have one.
About this poem
I am just sitting listening to music and felt the need to write. First one is just a wandering through my mind, looking for the keys to find sweet life.
