Naked in the Dark
The walls are breathing in the gloom –
Evening curtains throw uncertain shades
across the dream-invaded room
Subconscious howling at the moon
Your mind lies unprotected
waiting just for Morpheus to embark -
when you lie naked in the dark
You’re half asleep when they arrive –
Night soil ghosts with past-compost
you didn’t want to turn in broad daylight
Now chemistry is out of sight
Your mind lies unprotected
and your fantasy is a hungry shark -
when you lie naked in the dark
Nighttime is the right time
for phenomenal ShowTime
3-D Color movies for free
Daytime calls a straight mind
but while we’re having a playtime,
something’s there to pick up
your thoughts in a “dream-clock”
and store them till night is closing in
when you lie naked in the dark
You work your tail off in a dream
You’re both director/leading actor
in some psychedelic scenery -
A living painting of Dali
Your mind lies unprotected
when the spotlight’s on your watermark -
and you lie naked in the dark
