O Night...
O Night!
When light is
smoothly withdrawn,
the darkness
falls from your wings
When the bright
moon ascends
in a cluster of
light
You cling to the
sky as love clings to a life
A silence wraps
me
A blessing all
around me
O Night!
Out of your
silence comes
my beauty, my
grace
Comes the depth
of my eyes
Aura of my being
I close my eyes
and fall into
your lap
Into its
fathomless depth,
I rejuvenate
every moment
O Night!
Be my love
Cast me in your
core
Meet me in my
dreams
Let the endless
sky bow down before us ...
Now ...
Now ...
Everything around
appears motionless
I stand as a
statue in impenetrable darkness
Who knows how
long
I would burn
myself
Standing on the
altar of agony
I stare into
empty sky
With a broken
heart.
I dream of you
...
With eagerness in
your eyes
you are coming
back ...
I stand waiting
on this quiet shore now
My heart
desperately search for you
And soul desire
your sweet embrace
My anxiety for
your passionate touch
Of course knows
no bounds ...
From A Land Unknown...
Some turn black
Some turn white
Spread like a
carpet of shadows
in the midst of
the night
I look out of the
window
Memories come
crowding into me.
As I sit in dead
silence
And moments pass
by
Grains of sand
continue to sprinkle over hourglass of mine.
Moments bleed
into another
And night spins
web
of hideous
darkness
Someone whispers
to come back
Don’t know
if It is a call from a land unknown
I wait for
showering light of the dawn
Where dew drops
would sparkle
With rays of
embedded hope.
