Long ago the sun has gone <br />Leaving a lingering reflection red <br />In shame the moon hides her face <br />Behind the cloak of darkness, all the <br />Creatures are in happy slumber deep <br /> Only the stars and I am wide awake <br /> <br /> They all stitch words in your praise <br />In glory and pride they offer at your feet <br />The beautiful flowers full of a blanket <br />But I make lei of tears to hang upon your breast <br />You have stunning beauty spread all over I see <br />But I have glorious darkness and golden despair <br /> To offer you at this destitute night with glaring regret<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-destitute-night/
