Dark Nights

Darkness lurks at the edge of shine
Stearing over shadows of gloom
Obscurity comes to carouse
Luring with intoxicating smells
Blindness, screams begin to quell
Children of the night
Come out to play
Curious reflections, have seen better days
Feeling safe in the umbra infused
Away from the pain
Unburdened by meaningless plights
Casting away afflictions bane
Adeptly addicted to elixers
Numbing long mundane days
Higher with self influence
Exposed inside, exterior unscathed
