Belongs the Night (Jamaica Winds)
To each, the night
belongs...
to taste.
To feel,
to touch
one
loose embrace.
To each, the night
belongs...
a Sea.
Blue depths obscure
one
with to be.
To each, the night
belongs...
to roam.
Unbound mirage
too
tiredless home.
To each, the night
belongs...
inside.
A laden heart,
shepherds
pride.
To each, the night
belongs...
to cry.
To laugh to feel
one
shadow, why?
To each, the night
belongs...
to dream.
Oblivious,
untethered
stream.
To each, the night
belongs...
to die.
A willow's breath
last
virgin sigh.
To each, the night
belongs...
to grasp.
A hopeful tear,
to
last....
to last.
