IN THE LAP OF THE NIGHT

the night conspires
to create silence
it could use the breeze
to excite young lovers
it could use the stars
to get praised in love
yet, they get trapped
in its apparent truth,
live their love in dark,
dark of the night itself,
dark of its lies' web
crafted through legacy
to seek false glory...
the night aspires to
rule the world of love
maneuvering the young
to sing for its beauty
to sleep under stars
in the lap of the night!
