"Nocturne" - Metapoem




Slowly, gently, unbidden
Comes the night;
Rolling in -
A second skin -
Fiery murmur in the vein.

Blackened inkwell through the skin
Once blood borne;
Spilling forth -
Newborn birth -
Forthwith thoughts mutely speak.

Shrouded ghosts across the page
Come to life;
Poetry -
Symmetry -
Testify to heartfelt truth.

Eccentric nemesis
Breathes a sigh;
Dismissive -
Permissive -
Insomniac Nyx does fly.
