When Night is Falling

Open,
Open your eyes,
the night is deep
its silence is howling-
a dark,
angry wolf foraging
in the woods

it is smelled of citrus
sweet and fresh-
a titillating aroma

Open,
Open your eyes
the night is engulfing
it is peppered with quartz
a glint of joy
blossoming

it has the starkest smile-
a badge of twinge
of woes,

of an unhappy
soul
hiding behind
the cloak
of
a dismal hope

but if you
try to kiss
the frost

close your eyes
this time
think
of an ocean
under a starry night
and a starfish hugging the shore

you hear
the waves
slapping the borderline
and the
solace
of the night

thumping
in the somber
tune
of
its own
heartbeat.

Note:
This will be my final poem for 2008 filed under ergo propter hoc.
It's sad but it's me...

Bye for now.

hiding behind the cloak of a dismal hope,

When night is falling;
I appreciate the night
while dreaming of the day that you compose another poem.

It's sad, but it still is nice...I liked the this line, "thumping in the somber tune of its own hearbeat."
