Into the night

female-mannequin-wearing-black-jacket
Where the light is
I want to blend in
my friend Al with me
I blend in Grey
for nowhere is home
for me
 
No air on the streets
the dirty streets are growling
until I breathe
no more, they shift
through venom
on my skin
 
And so, go forth
through absence
     
        Acid chair
        Acid as I sleep
no more
in dead silence, I stay
awake, smoking out
the thoughts;
 
while throats are smashing
I am deaf as I am
gone, steady
mortal with human pain
I loathe
 
Silent night comes
with silent weep here
and now like a thousand years
in a family home
with nothing familiar
 
I lay down and watch
time passing by
my face, my body
aging in deep Grey

Published by Vall.Grey poetry

I grew up and live in Athens, Greece. I started writing poetry in 2010, mostly as psychotherapy and after some time, I realized I really enjoy it. For me, poetry is another way to express my inner feelings or mental state, productively lifting some of the burdens I may have in my troubled mind/soul. My sources of inspiration are my dreams, my thoughts and certain feelings I’ve had in various stages in life. Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you like it.

        You’re very welcome. Your poetry is refreshing, while mine seems stale.

        Your poetry is beautiful too! Everyone has a different way to express themselves.

    I hear a great loneliness in this one, almost a self-inflicted loneliness, a blending with the shadows, but not quite accepting what the shadows bring.

      Yes, exactly… There was indeed loneliness when I wrote this poem, among other things, especially felt at nights. Into the nights, feelings are getting heavier… Thank you for your reply ❤

        There are fewer distractions at night, just the quiet and the world asleep. Thoughts do swell and dominate in the dark.
