Silly, inane
Illusions, insane
Luckily refrain,
Emerge, restrained
Nocturnally feigned
Constantly gained
Enraging the flame

I especially loved the way it rhymed and the beat it had to it!
Did you mean to do what Cathy noted? Two poems for the price of one. Doubly well done, Gerard!
"Nocturnally feigned....enraging the flame." Love that visual of encroaching madness.
I like the rhyming as well. Also, I'm seeing a whole other poem just by using the first word of the first 6 lines, and all of the last. I like it!
Brilliant rhyming!!!❤️❤️💕
This feels like any night in my head. Well done on making such a rhyme-heavy feast, Gerard. Impressive entry!
oh my! The way they all rhyme....
