At Just Around Twilight Cody Siegel 22

At just around twilight

At just around twilight The dreams I dreamt were flooded with fireflies and tangos Gazing into your eyes and knowing I was at rest But my wild thoughts, as I consciously lie Capture these dreams

For all but about fortnite The spell by night witches was steeped with songbirds and their melodies Hearing your chime and seeing I was home Yet the wildings spewing around their hissing cauldron Strangle my illusions of love

By merely civil dusk The sorceress I sought was plagued by her sirens and her sibilance Feeling the pulsating touch of your soft neck and nevermore clearing your trace Still, the venom spewing through my veins and into my skull Chomp these dreams to bits

When the clock struck silent The phantom I mused was haunted by an enchantress and her handmaids Hearing your soft sonorous sound and reaching that moment of gratification Yet the midnight spirits stirring in my head Refuse to grow weary

Long before dawnlight The hallucinations I slept to oh so soundly were covered with nymphs and moonbeams Touching your fragile essence and never releasing Though the night fairies torture my erratic mind, as I contemplate our awoken love And abuse the power of the passive

Before the somber sky awoke The castle on the cloud I flew to was besieged with young Graces and their noble heirs Praising your righteous purity and feeling glorified Yet the yearning mirage was riddled with chanting vestals caroling in my ear And dictate my gleeful grail

Earlier than forenoon The brimstone temple I begged upon filled a jungle of golden tigers and silver monkeys Meeting your sacred roots and worshiping your godly frame Still, the snakes encroaching upon my tomb Playfully slither between my bones
