Ruby Nights

Ruby Nights

The dusking starlight
Hides fading screams
But bares the troubles
Of confused dreams

These ruby nights
With burning sorrows
Suffused by smoke
Which chokes desire

In spinning darkness
With endless echoes
Of unwanted chatter
Craving silent rest

These ruby nights
With burning sorrows
Suffused by smoke
Which chokes desire

Tormented murmers
Delay the fears
Won't ease the doubt
Of scattered reason

These ruby nights
With burning sorrows
Suffused by smoke
Which chokes desire

No pleasing touch
In the deadly cut
Unfinished torture
Of mortal flesh

These ruby nights
With burning sorrows
Suffused by smoke
Which chokes desire

Restless movements
Conceal the agony
Or anguished memories
And solitary denial

These ruby nights
With burning sorrows
Suffused by smoke
Which chokes desire
