Nightfall
The day ended with the promise
Of a dark and daunting night
Trees whispered their secrets
Through the day's fading light
Which, when heralded
By the lazy falling of leaves
Is ensued by Darkness
A seductive pattern it weaves
Its ebony arms entwine around me
And envelope me from within
So helplessly mesmerised
Like never before have I been
The last thing I see are the stars aglimmer
In the dainty newborn dusk
Just as the nightwind breathes into my ear
And I smell its woody musk
As I close my eyes then
To let it wrap my body tight
I am allured deep into the depths
Of the silvery moonlight
I reach out my hands
Trying to capture the sensual chills
Yet they elude my grasp
Enticing me more and more still
Feeling as if in some hypnotic dream
Hoping I'd never wake up
I 'm reeled further into the arms
Of the drowsy dark
Unable to withstand any longer
I lose all vestige of thought
As I let myself drown in the intensity
To fall into it and get caught
Just, then, the breeze dies down
The whole world seems to pause
The arms of dark making love to me,
Weaving around my soul,
Is the cause.
