Dusking Plays

The sky seduced the sun

To lie down upon its bed

As the moon shone in its majesty

And humbled the earth in its tread.

The trees danced to the rhythm

Of the winds

That giggled and pranced

To the dusking plays of the night.

Lush came the clouds and

Behind them hid

The stars that blushed against the glances

Of the universe that beheld them

In their sanctity.

The howling and the shrieking

Of the beasts

That fulfil the caverns of hollow eternity-

Sear like butter through my welcome veins

Like alcohol; it clouds my brain.

As I await the hours of the twilight

To witness the most enchanting part of the day-

As the horizon accepts the night in its light

And enacts its dusking plays.
