I've Been Waiting All My Life For This...

Seize the Day

Sunlight invades our sheets,
restrained by iron lines
of shadows allying
window panes.

Sleep is a casualty.
Brightness confronts us, violating our eyes,
teasing us while concealing its cold clip.
We surrender beneath the blanketed compound,
darkness compromising morning vows.

We are obscurity’s hostages,
Standing up to the radiation
Detained in each other,
appeased.
