MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
...written on 2005-03-07, @ 4:20 p.m.
Nighttime sharpens,
Heightens each sensation.
Darkness, stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses.
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away from cold,
Unfeeling light.
And Listen to the Music of the Night.
Close your eyes,
And surrender to your Darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before.
Close your eyes,
Let your spirit start to soar,
And you'll live as you've never lived before.
Softly, Deftly,
Music shall caress you.
Hear it, Feel it,
Secretly posses you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight,
The darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind
Start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...
Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication,
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation.
Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write,
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night...
- The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber
