Night owl

Night owl 

When the sunset 
hits the trees
my energy rises,
as does my breath,
almost in tandem.

My ears unpop 
after 12o clock,
much like a reverse pumpkin 
out of a fairytale.

The silence is decompressing.
My body relaxes 
and I feel hale.

I crave those moments I have to myself.
That cold night air is intoxicating.
As is the neighbourhood sleeping.
I am alone.

Let sleep take its time to catch me.
I need an hour of reprieve.
The only sound, the sound of you
and I breathing rhythmically.

I can stay, forever, 
just like this
and never get bored.
And never feel unloved. Ever.
