The Exquisite Darkness
The Exquisite Darkness
Down the sun went when the hour arrived
Across the horizon; sprinkling cries
Triggered waves on the bed beneath
Till the surface scattered the moonlight
A million little stars did shine
Twinkling conversations, seemingly clandestine
With a large sphere in between, all white
Complementing the resplendent design
Gases disembodied with each star's fall
Wishes rested upon the shoulders of the ball
Saw the most alluring scene before melting
A little hopeful smile on the face of a doll
Explosives inherited the space above
Vivid nebulas reproduced assorted curves
And filled t
he voids with divine hues
Till the black hole got on their nerves
Galaxies narrated the entangled stories
Of sparkling formations and lethal theories
Each glistening dot connected to the other
And the constellations announced their glory
In the middle, the moon brightened
The stars dazzled, the sky enlightened
The fields and the waters rejuvenated
Whilst the graveyard guard got frightened
My eyes turned weary and the night got colder
I got off the roof and glanced beside my shoulder
The night sky had a charm of its own
And I, perhaps, got the eyes of the beholder
