Dawn of Night
When is darkness companion -
Oh sparkling twilight's
Last presence of the sun,
Yielding to the progress of time;
She creepeth down the still water -
Gazing a mile along the shadows,
So deep we drink of purity -
When is all centricity:
Self-, Christ-, You-
Of winds prevailing, how we pray:
Let them set the sails -
Love and lovers banter,
She expresses adulation;
Ah, that soul of metaphors -
When is darkness warmth, warm
As comfort that she's known -
Wraps her in the settling blackness;
Rapture in the dawning night.

I am back! Sorry for the extended absence. New for you, my fellow poets - hot of the keys! Enjoy!
Kelly, First of all, I love the oxymoron of the title, and the title is what catches the attention, no?
So deep we drink of purity -
When is all centricity
and the change of font underscores your ensuing line.
"self-Christ-you"
Damn. I love that last line:
"Rapture in the dawning night"
The form is sooooo different--the message so mercurial............I got lost in the words. (that means I drank it all in)
Quick silver................................................
You are my hero Ms. Letty :-) Thank you
As BoGoWo would say:
We're all in it together.
God bless.
With Love from Letty
And I forgot to acknowledge the return of mine and Cav's favorite word, 'mercurial'! Thanks Ms. Letty! I am certain Cav is elated to see it!
Damn you Cav!

Elated indeed, and I can only echo Letty's comments. I loved the piece. I especially like the new spelling of our favorite word in your response there. It made me think of "murk cure e-all".
Putting left hand on keyboard; holding up right hand.
I swear I did NOT know that was a pet word of yours and Cav's, Kelly.
Mercury rising. Hmmmm. Maybe I meant mecurachrome.
I'm a Virgo, and my business is named Cinnabar, it's my duty to know about all things mercurial.
and I'm a scorpio and my business is running a house and my Mom put mecurachrome on a bunch of my scratched knees.
What fun you all are. Unfortunately, I have stuff to do.
Later.

Heh heh, and you never forgot, did you...scorpio... :wink: Later Letty, keep well. :wink:
I am an aquarius. I hear there is water in the shaded parts of Mercury!
Damn you Cav!
There is water in all that is mutable, and all things are mutable.
As an aside, I just couldn't resist:

Anime! Make it stop ! UNCLE!!!!!!!
u r bad 4 my sanity :-)
One more thing, it only hit me later that I had switched the appropriate 'E' with a 'U'. Thanks for pointing that out, Cavmeister.
Damn you :-)
And thank YOU Vex - overlooked ya - sorry!
I truly enjoyed your poem KAV
Well, what a pleasant surprise! Thank you for your kind words, colorbook :-)
Ms Letty, did you receive your copy of the book yet?
Not yet, honey. Believe me, you will be the first to know when I do. That's what happens when you make a PFC out of the US Postal Service.
