My room's a little magical, at midnight
When I'm up, even after I've turned off the light
Everything seems indistinct, that in darkness is draped
I see just contours, that in so many silhouettes seem shaped
As my little mind then drifts, it dreamily plays
Weaving details in the shapes, coloring the greys
I slip slowly, to where reality, my mind gaily forgets
Into a world, that's more than just hazy silhouettes
And soon enough, they're alive, walking past me
Hey, wasn't that you that I did just see
I turn and follow you, onto the other side
Wondering if today, I'll have you beside
And then, half-asleep, I smile, in dreamy delight
As I realise, my room is after all, 'my' magical place, just past midnight!

(Though honestly, that was when the poem was written...began at 12 and finished at 12:20. Hence the play on midnight! :P )
This is wonderful poetry!! I enjoyed thoroughly...
Simply simple and enchating :) Write something like this again.
@Aarushi:> Hey! Long time! Glad you liked it...but as far as trying to recreate something similar is concerned, thats difficult! It wasn't a premeditated thing, was just me putting what was happening in words...ah well, lets hope something as magical does happen again!
Well whatever it is you were doing here buddy you made night seem so magical, I almost forgot how horrifying it can be and how scared I can get! :P
