The Night..

With freezing enormity
With harrowing darkness..
Cold, whey faced,
deep down I dwell

Some call me a phase..
some call me a fact!
some sleep through me..
some stay intact.

You adore the dusky elegance
you adore the saffron hue
Then I strike you with fright
as a bolt from the blue

Beyond my saffron disguise,
beyond your guileless faith..
deep down lies
a creepy dark wraith

beyond every dusk,
safe, calm and quiet...
like a shrewd demon,
there stands the night..
