[Poetry] “Tonight, I shall stay awake”

Tonight, I shall stay awake

to preserve you, secure you.

Won’t let u vanish, fade

at the inception of dawn.

My thoughts, my ideas;

you are too precious, too dear.

The thunder seems to be loud tonight,

yet you roar louder, peacefully inside.

The storm is furious, notoriously venal

yet you are an irenic revolution.

Flashing like flickering fireflies,

within my senses, in all my beliefs.

I am weedy, fearful and faint, but

my thoughts, my ideas

valiant, like the honour of the victorious;

Tonight, I shall stay awake

to preserve you, secure you.
