Long Nights
by LateNiteFantasy©
Night descending, quiet, thief of light,
Shadow stealer, black, beyond control.
Bleak, bare boned, robber of the sun.
Sprinkled stars accent your starkness.
A full moon illuminates the green
Glowing eyes of cats, that stroll
Nonchalantly through your doorways,
Allies, and back streets, bordered by tenement
Ruins, with empty eyed windows staring,
Caring not for the light or dark, only
Passing strangers that seek shelter
In the arches out of the rain,
Falling from dark clouds, descending
Into the long night.
