Awake

Night-time.

Sleeplessness.

Steady breathing.

Hush.

Hush.

Whir.

Sigh.

Fantasize.

Dream.

Recall.

Lover's touch.

His sweet lips.

Warm hands.

Around you.

His gentle breath.

His sweet words.

Hush.

They might hear you.

Sleepy dawn.

Call to prayer.

Again.

A hush.

Sunrise.

Orange flames.

The sky is alight with blinding colour.

Stupid crows.

Gentle sparrows.

Alive. 

Eyes droop.

Lashes cage your eyes shut.

Again - the lover.

Lips on lips.

Hand in hand.

His weight upon you.

Stop!

Enough -

Sing the songs of daily praise.

Step back into routine.

Sweet tea.

Warm toast.

Looking at the deceased room.

Looking up.

Imagining.

Thinking.

Linking.

Wondering.

Pondering.

Questioning.

Answering.

Fantasizing.

Climaxing.

Release.

You ask: Why?

Madness unveiled.

Drudgery of the daily routine.

"41 dead"

"Strike: Today"

Daily life.

Distraction.

Distraction.

Stoic life.

Early morning bell.

Again - the lover.

Hush.

Gentle laughter,

Hush.

They're together.
