Sleepless

What do I seek in the darkness

Under the starry firmament,

Wakeful for nights endless,

When into bossomy imaginings other are lent

                           

What do I adore in the aching

Of loneliness bequeathed from ages,

Pending with the very breath,

Which inside me rages

What baits me into its fold,

Veiled as it is imperceptible

Awaiting my notice it lurks bold,

Utterly vague yet throbbing n' formidable

What wanes alongside the moon

That I forget the question too soon

Before I know the cause of it all

It picks on my restless soul

Feeding for eons on my vanity

Now like a silent climax

Like a torrid necessity

I keep at it bereft of sanity
