~ I AM NIGHT ~
It is in the subtle margins
Of my tortured soul
Where I sometimes find
That I
Am night...
I am a string of pearls
Swaying,
On a hot dancer,
Sweating
In the night sky,
Spinning slowly
Into celestial recesses
And wrapping myself around
All things.
I am night ...
With a mutating appetite for light
I am night,
Deep, in a black hole of emptiness
I am night,
Like a drunken, broken, man
I am night,
I brood in the light
And smile in the darkness
I am the veil,
I am night...
I am the sickness unexpected
The will, redirected
The floundering drowner
I am night,
I am the only way home
Eyes closed and alone,
I,
Am night...
I am the raven come calling
The dead bird
In the hallway,
The ambiguous regret,
The forgotten sunset
I am night,
I am the tears never cried
Pure love petrified,
I am,
Night...
I am a funeral procession,
The pallid pallbearers
That come marching
At sunset,
I am the coldness
That slides in
On death,
The final breath,
I,
Am night...

Tony beautifully written and with the odd shade of Dylan Thomas woven in for good and great measure. Loved it and that pic adds to rich atmosphere conveyed throughout.
