Ode to the Silence of the Night

[MarkusSinclair]

The muffled silent melody
screams out at night, you I adore
your absence, it is hell for me
It leaves me wanting more and more

your eerie tones of brass and bass
echo and echo in my heart
my loving temptress hide your face
I alone understand your art.

Lo' what cacophony is this
that interrupts my mistress' song?
be still my love, take hold of bliss
Peace, Wait, this won't take long.

a crow had in the other room
across the hall began to squawk
a noise not even called a tune
begrudgingly began my walk

The door creaked open with sigh
"can you hurry" It seemed to say
"Night wants to sing, she wants to die"
Gesturing with wooden arm "Obey!"

"Of course, of course. I will oblige
though not for you I do this deed
but for my mistress" I replied
I stepped in on my shadow's lead.

A monster, I did see it now
beneath the sheets it heaved and moaned
though full of fright I wiped my brow
Now callous as if struck and stoned

It snarled and spat almost in spite.
Its hatred for my love now known
And slipping through the darkest night
I struck, I struck it to the bone

With knife now drawn and sheathed inside
The bewildered thing gave a scream
In blood soaked sheets it promptly died
And I walked out as in a dream

The muffled silent melody
screams out at night, you I adore
your absence, it is hell for me
It leaves me wanting more and more
