The Night Before (1999)

 
 
 
With the rustling leaves
Of autumn's dawn
The dusk comes sweeping by;
The night thereafter
Follows with a charming overture-
The curtains swing right open
As tender lips
Of dew and mint,
Besiege my sentiments
Under a cloak of rustic light,
Whose warm-red glow
Lit desire-
Smoke follows...
Heralds the coming mist
Of dreams-
Yet waiting to be born.
Under the swift envelope
Of mystery-
Erupted fire
Whose flame forged
Twin bodies...
Under a canopy of desire
Until the clock struck 12,
And the mist gave way
To uncertainty
As the sleeping beauty
Rose to sleep
Atop a truant
Gust.
