Florin Lacatus Poet Rhyme

Beauty Sleeps Beneath the Skin of Night

I walked where silence stitched the air
            and found my pulse still beating there
        inside the wound of God’s repair
    the dark was not an empty keep
but where His secrets sleep

                 the stars were eyes that had gone blind
             each blinking once, then left behind
         to light the sorrow of the mind
     I kissed their ashes, small and sweet
and felt them hum beneath my feet

                     a mother’s breath, a broken psalm
                her shadow wrapped around my calm
           her name the night’s forbidden balm
     I called her light, though she was in pain
and she forgave the rain

                I learned that beauty wears a bruise,
            that death is not a thing we lose
       but skin we shed when dreams refuse
   the dark became my borrowed grace
its touch, a warm embrace

                 so let me sink, and not ascend
             for every fall begins to mend
        and every ruin finds its end
    within the night’s devouring eye
the stars relearn to die.
