Night Visitor

It whispers to the soul,

While  asleep at night;

A lie? A warning?

Hollywood in head,

Boulder on chest, 

Naive hopes at 9,

That 11 will bring any rest

It riots between neurons, 

While asleep at night;

A disease? A disorder?

Snuff out serotonin smiles;

Gas to cortisol flames;

Microscopic wildfires,

Igniting burning shame.

It hovers and stares, 

While asleep at night;

A devil? A demon? 

Blood chums waters,

Circling soul-shark;

Swallowing whole the light;

With its lust for the dark;

Awakened by the whisper, 

Awash in panic -

So far from the sun,

In the company of a ghost,

Call

In the company of none;

Mantra

In the company of no one;

Prayer

In the company of know One;

Conversation

In the company of Known One.
