Night (2012)

Night

Night conquered day in a day-long combat,
I fell victim to a peaceful respite,

Moonlight flickered its pride in flashes;
fireflies drew spirals that lit my lashes,

Laptop flaunted its luminous screen,
struggling to convey “I’m still on”

Yes, I am a lover of night,
the nature-made feminist, who lured sun to her bosom,

and enslaved him with an everlasting spell,

She gives me a poet’s hand and a player’s heart…
