Just past midnight I lay awake without slumber My stomach rumbles My heart sputters I no longer am young yet I’m wired like a drum Just past the witching hour I wonder what spell has been spun upon my tired old heart is it love or lack of I feel it though, the desire is there Just past the middle of night I lay awake dreamless and think of yesterdays I wonder what it was all for if I can’t call out or utter one sound The quiet is so very loud Just past my peek I see it all downhill now and yet I’m incorrigibly romantic even with a galloping heart beat I don’t fear death but desertion I fear not living without passion Just past midnight Copyright © CJ Clark

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu
