The promise of the night

[twisted]

The promise of the night


Peak over the clouds, rays and hues,
thru the morning breeze
the ripple of the rivers and seas

simulated azure, devoid of cloud white
overwhelmingly blue
burns just a shade too bright..

..For my eyes, my ears
happy birds filling with chirp
yet, I still leer..

..at the reflecting rivers, reflecting seas
,bathing grass blades..
I do miss the shade

Angry childs drifting tears, fake cheers
I prick up my ears
to the drone of the twilight..

..making way for her to come
her musical hum, my hearts strum
and the promise of the night

I welcome her, draping dark cloth
, covering me with glory and grace
not with after taste of the day

I lie content,
neither asleep nor awake
basking in the love we make

think of what you get done when you are at office

And I would hate anybody rich as in lit to review this cos those critical bastard can be merciless and to be true, this is a work of an amateur

Unbelievably and undeniably brilliant. I enjoyed it and was beautifully written.
One comment if I may.

Just felt bit rough comparing with other smoothing words you have used. May be something like “Aura”

I did want to keep it simple from the start lol must have gotten carried away in the process.

you'd love ernest dawson's cinarae (if you haven't already read it)

I had not read it before, I just did and fell instantly in love with it thanks a bunch

Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine
There fell thy shadow, Cynara! Thy breath was shed

"I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion." a universal excuse

Anyway you'd love to read about why he wrote this poem too

I've been faithful, in my own way? that never works though.

I read that poem 3 times already and first it looked like the guy is cheating, but I think it's about trying to let go of a past that is stronger than present and the future with no success beautiful shit though.

have to read reviews to get the real meaning I suppose..

so why'd he write it?

to borrow from the poet himself "i have forgot much twisted, gone with the years"
he loved a girl who was much younger, and was declined. he took up drinking and wasted himself.
just like you said he saw cinarae(his crush, not the real name) in every woman he slept with, but couldnt get over it.
"trying to let go of a past that is stronger than present and the future with no success" you nailed it.

looks to me like he partied hard unrequited love has through out centuries paved the way for some serious work of art

Thanks, I'm going to dig this guys poems.

This poem of mine has no similar meaning though
