STALE NIGHT 

At the wee hour

Of a stale night 

When darkness 

Buried the stars

Beyond silent silk

That my soul sail

Burrowed and lay

At the palm of love.

Undulating like ripples

I oscillate along the tide

Of a beautiful beginning 

To the path of unknown

Like the moon in the sky

I basked in the lone night 

Musing like a bereaved owl.

The fang of love sting me

Ocean of emotion drown me

The arc of darkness eluded me 

But the soul of night embrace me.
