Untamed Nights

In the arms of the sleepless night

I unearth solace, an eternal delight!

*

resting on the velvety green carpet

the midnight dews kiss my breast

in the whistling of the fragrant winter breeze

Am losing my senses, oh time, please freeze.

*

the nocturnal birds sing that old melancholic hymn

and once again I lose my battle to the bygone time

the gleeful night embrace the luminous orb

basking in her shimmering light I admire her, unperturbed.

*

silhouette of the ruddy blossoms shine in my welled eyes

how can this turbulent spirit sleep ignoring the heart’s cries

the placid lake stealthily touch the damp slope

someplace deep in her bottom, she clutches to that forlorn hope.

*

tucked beneath the warm quilt when the world sleeps

shedding her withered petals, this lovelorn heart peeps

she has now befriended the solitary, tranquil night

that flutters to nothingness with the early rays of daylight.

*

So, every time, I unearth solace, an eternal delight

in the arms of my amigo, the sleepless night!💚
