The night is crawling down <br /> <br />like a veil of silk upon your shoulders; <br /> <br />it slips until it reaches the heels, <br /> <br />and then quickly breaks asunder.. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beneath the concrete, I do hear <br /> <br />the bitter cries of frozen leaves <br /> <br />they were once green, and now.. <br /> <br />they're dead; painted in the <br /> <br />colours of a cosmic crimson red! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I see the stars fading from the sky <br /> <br />as the darkness is getting blurred, <br /> <br />the light is plunged into unknown- <br /> <br />universe of dying mortal souls! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In solitude, a tiny beam of light <br /> <br />is still dancing in the lantern; <br /> <br />the course of brittle dreams seems <br /> <br />to bleed on poetic ravish reveries, <br /> <br />melting in autumn's gloomy stream. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />My beloved, in the grasp of dawn, <br /> <br /> I'd gladly take your loving hand, <br /> <br />again, to kiss this world 'good-bye' <br /> <br />as our sparkle dies into the lantern!<br /><br />Whispers Of Night<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eventide-stanzas/
