[QUOTE="Bhryn, post: 2859732, member: 36462"] [b]The Night[/b] Good evening, Good night. Flag the candles down For the evening. Stars are out already and Twinkling bright, luminous But cold. The evening is a velvet blanket Of richest sable And cast upon the dinner table Of Gods are dreams Of mice and mortal men. In slumber rolled Beds of soft sheets and Softer down. You made the bed So lie in it And call up the memories That tell you I Will no longer share it. I have left your town And taken with me The love I could have brightened Your life with. You took what you wanted of me But heeded not my warning: When I am gone, Said I, There will be no other. There will be no laughter Or sweet mornings Where fractured sun strikes Your tired eyes And I pull you with me Into waking From dreams to dreams And longer after. So I went and pulled the shade Down. I cut off the daytime so Tonight you can look From your window At the heavy moon And distant stars; And wonder how I am Where I am And at how you miss me so. But I have closed the curtain On that window in our life And locked you With the senseless night Outside. Bhryn xxxx [/QUOTE]
