Thread: O Beautiful Night

O Beautiful Night

O beautiful night!
The mist brushed against my cheek,
The moon piercing the darkness,
That alighted the figure before me,
Its shadow joined mine as we embraced.

O beautiful night!
His breath against my neck,
His lips against my skin,
His hand tangling in my hair,

O beautiful night!
That beautiful night in which I dream,
In which I long for,
Tears form in my eyes,

O beautiful night,
A gift yet a curse,
I ask thee, “Will thou darkness swallow me?...,
“What of my deathbed?”
A life that has no meaning?
No care if life? if death?

O beautiful night,
I taste thy breath,
I feel thy touch,
Thy white eye that sees me,
I am held within thy grasp; no escape,

O beautiful night,
That blade no longer held against me,
That serpent that seeped into my soul,
That bright angel!
I smile and embrace,
O sweet night, I love thee!
