The Night's Enchantment
How refreshing is this sweet summer night
Crickets sing of the folly of man
While wolves howl of his elusive grip on power
Somewhere, in the darkness, a fire burns,
Propelled and kept aflame by a loner,
A loner, who like me, deems of existence
At night as being too magical to waste it on sleeping!
Into the darkness I dive, hoping to find the ladder
Reaching up to the moon so that,
I do get to admire the unseen beauty of Earth!
Pray, into the darkness I creep, while subtly,
It overpowers me, and I find myself crawling on all fours
Laden with shiny black fur, with teeth gnarling at nothing
And with a heart yearning for the one who made me thus!
Into the darkness I charge, guided by some inhuman guide
Till I reach the top of a cliff, and find him there,
Waiting for me and musing, like me, of the moon's ladder!
Why, the night's taste is delicious, more so, when laden
It is with surreal love, why, wish I to remain as I am
Overpowered by the might of supernatural loving
Wishing I to embrace eternity in such a way
Enmeshed in a labyrinthine relationship, from which
I shall never escape!
Why, like it usually does, the dawn shows itself to reveal to me,
The human world, devoid of the Night's enchantment!
