Tales Of The Night Poem by KOFI AGYARE NTIRI

How I wish night never falls
To retire to my bed
for a restless sleep
Packed with moments of doom
with my eyes unable to close
To get a respite
From a tiring day

Uneasiness sets in
Like someone thrown into hell fire
Once nightfall comes packing
Uninvited
into the beautiful space of day
Causing me to revisit
my disappointment, plight and sorrows
of the day
With no peace
As crickets chirp
To add onto my woes

Nightfall comes with nightmares
of regrettable omens
The time lingers on
Not wanting to move
for the day to come
And save me from a voodooed night
Full of ominous nightmare
That haunts my being
Amidst the lingering time
Not wanting to move
To allow the day
Correct the anomalies of the night
For calmness and hope to be restored


How I wish night never falls
That I may have a full day
Where dreams are nurtured
And brought to a world of fruition
That I may have no moment
Of sombre, darkness, and mystery
How I wish night never falls
