The Night by Tinka Boukes Saturday, March 04, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

~The Night~ Slayer of the day's turning Darkness as to distrust Soul mate with the shadows Summoned to an endless journey; In search of a tourney Armed with its ghostly mail Chained with un-chivalric spirit Not a rider but a woeful stalker pained; Blackened armor, gripped long spear With broadsword as to decimate Brightened days - dauntless task Death to fading light - altar piece; Ancient night artistically ordained Paints the landscape - imaginary lines Views of meadows and flowers disarrayed Its work appears like an aged sage�s face; Through the heaven�s womb The night smothers the day It whispers boastful fears Eyes to wonder, tongues not to praise.
