Dusk to Midnight

Dusk 

In a while the sun will set 
Sinking behind the jungle of concrete 
Leaving nothing behind but empty meaningless darkness 
And i will have nothing to look at 
Nothing to gaze at anymore 
No empty skies, no rustling leaves 
No falling rains, no signs of life 
Those free flights of thoughts 
Shall now be caged in these four walls 
Where there's no difference between day and night 
Good and bad 
Right and wrong

Midnight 

The late days, the late nights 
My thoughts are all i got 
And they know it 
Here i stand at their mercy 
Juggling personalities 
Shuttling between moods 
In a span of minutes 
I observe a new day arrive 
And depart for another 
Without a grain of difference in life 

There's a lot i should be doing 
A lot more i want to 
A lot less i eventually will 
I know not what stops me 

How i yearn to break free 
Run out of the cage and never be back 
Take up a journey Unexplored 
And run as far as my feet care to support
Immersing myself in life 
Watching the break of dawn end a beautiful starlit night 
Watching the skies change colors 
Grey, blue, black and those in between 
The wind rustling the lush green leaves, the lush fields 
Brushing past my skin 
The bunch of kids playing and quarelling 
And making up again 
Standing on the highway inhaling the fragrance of wet soil right after the rain 
Walking unabated, free of worldly concerns 
Of expectations, of forced responsibilities

How i yearn to break free 
These shackles of duties, of things that should be done 
And yet all i wish, is to feel alive again 

Saying this i retire to bed 
Right here inside my cage 
Three hours post midnight 
Looking over a productive tomorrow 
Starting post noon 
Have a good night earthlings 
I should probably be going
