The Call of the Fray
Inspired by the poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight" by Dylan Thomas and the following quote by William Shakespeare:
“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
-
Romeo and Juliet
The Call Of The Fray
Beware the insidious light of day,
As slumber plummets from a darkened height.
Cast with great might the morn’s sunrise away.
Only in dreams are you safe from the fray,
Turn to these arms of caress and delight.
Beware the insidious light of day.
One gentle kiss upon lips will delay
Incessant pleas of dawn’s meddling invite.
Cast with great might the morn’s sunrise away.
Entwined, we dance in love’s infinite sway
On intimate sheets of a tender night.
Beware the insidious light of day.
Silhouettes merging in twilight’s array,
Enslaved again by your magical sight.
Cast with great might the morn’s sunrise away.
Keep still, beloved, if I am to stay,
Or this bouquet will fade with mournful plight.
Beware the insidious light of day,
Cast with great might the morn’s sunrise away.
