Carpe Noctum : seize the nightOnce upon a dismal evening I spent a night without dreamingRestless under an ebony cloud, I cry out to the nightOh night, let me find in you the real meLet me embrace my heart by embracing yoursSlowly I awake from my daylight slumberAnd then I see you, the one I have search forAnd the rivers of my eyes slowly recedeOur tears merge into one, and so does our newfoundYet ironically long lost loveAlas, reality tears at the bond we share, yet we continue to gaze at each otherSwallowed by feelings that could turn day to nightLight into darkness, melancholy into passion….The voices of the night sing praises to our unionBut to everyone else there is only unconscious silenceWe embrace each other, completely oblivious to all elseWe are the beginning and the endFor we have found ourselves in each otherThus forming one soul of perfect loveBut suddenly we are separated by beams of lightAnd you disappear right before my eyesNow feeling more alone than ever, I cry outAnd suddenly it becomes clear…. You never were thereYet I feel the loss of something I never hadWhy am I still burned by love’s flame?So I curse the sky in frustration, spurning the sunAnd continue searching for you, so that the night will comeThe place where we can escape this miserable worldAnd be together forever more…….-KnowOne© William Crabbe 2000
