Music Of The Night

Nighttime sharpens
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and
wakes imagination
Silently the senses
abandon their defences
Slowly gently
night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it sense it
tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light
and listen to
the music of the night
Close your eyes
and surrender to your
darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts
of the life
you knew before
Close your eyes
let your spirit
start to soar
And you'll live
as you've never
lived before
Softly deftly,
music shall surround you
Feel it hear it
closing in around you
Open up your mind
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight
the darkness of
the music of the night
Let your mind
start a journey through a
strange new world
Leave all thoughts
of the world
you knew before
Let your soul
Take you where you
long to be
Only then
can you belong
to me
Floating falling
sweet intoxication
Touch me trust me
savour each sensation
Let the dream begin
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write
the power of the music of the night

Little Story

the girl chopped off her hair one day
it was blond and straight and silky
but she cut it short and
permed it and
dyed it dog-crap brown
the girl got brown contacts one day
to cover her brilliant blue eyes
she also got glasses
with thick lenses
the girl had reverse liposuction done one day
she also ate a lot of fattening food and
never exercised and
had surgery to shorten her long skinny legs
the beautiful girl uglified herself one day
just for the heck of it
to see what living like the other kind was like
so she could have even more mixed pity and contempt for them
but wait a second
this is the real world
like THAT would ever happen in reality
