Nights Elegy.

Akira Dawn

A nocturne growl,
Wrapped in red,
Trying to sleep,
No dreams prowl.
And I hate her,
And she hates you,
And you hate me,
But I deter.
Sleep isn’t Blissed,
Wisdom is nefarious,
A grey blotched sky,
A man unkissed.
Socks cling tight,
Songs haunt the ceiling,
Nails eat your heart,
Sleep soon I might.
