Agonising Night

An evening sun

Mesmerizing in its ability

My eyes refuse to turn

Trying is an act of futility

There is a warm gentle breeze

Makes me feel cozy and secure

My bones detest the cold night's freeze

Now long will this magnificent instant endure

I wish this moment remains

Eternal in its glory

With the mind cleansed from its stress stains

Hallucinating an implausible story

Hard as it is, I admit

Perched high on this mountain

Readying myself to submit

To the impending night's ghastly pain.

With an eerie silence the disconcerting blanket envelops

Making it arduous to have hopes

Unnerving is the menagerie of howls and shrieks

Broken only by the resplendent morning streaks.
