Window
This room shouts hollow memories
into my void.
(heaven and hell,
I know them well)
The walls bleed a bit
and I scream a blue aura
from my nicotine-stained fingers.
This is something to remember.
Nights like these,
left alone with a silvery moon
outside my window.
Staring out over a jungle
of madness.
When I get the courage
to face the night.
The night,
with all its mystery,
stirs me into a subtle
and calmed frenzy.
I caterwaul a river of insanity.
Out the window
and at the moon.
She smiles and gives me
courage,
and I am not alone.
