NIGHT'S CALL
LOOKING AROUND
TO SEE WHAT HE CAN
THE BEAUTY ABOUT
STRIKES THIS MAN
HIS VISION NEW WITH POWER
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS MAN
HIS CHANGE THIS VERY HOUR
BRINGING POWER TO COMMAND
THE NIGHT HOLDS A BEAUTY
HE'S NEVER SEEN
LOOKING AT HIS NEW FAMILY
AS IF SEEING THROUGH A DREAM
THE EMBRACE WAS SWEET
THE GIFT WAS GRAND
MARVELING AT THE TREAT
OF SUCH POWER IN HIS HANDS
THE NIGHT SO BRIGHT
WITH COLORS UNKNOWN
THE COLORS OF NIGHT
TO HIM ARE SHOWN
TIS HARD TO COMPREHEND
OF WHAT IS NOW FELT
THE POWER OF BRETHREN
TO WHICH HE'S BEEN DEALT
THE POWER OF KIN
THE BEAUTY OF LOVE
THE POWER OF HIM
HE'S NEVER THOUGHT OF
HE SEES HE BELONGS HERE
WITH THOSE NOW LIKE HE
THEIR POWER IS CLEAR
THEIR THOUGHTS A MYSTERY
BUT HE IS NOW ONE
WITH THOSE OF THE NIGHT
WHAT IS NOW DONE
IS HIS BY RIGHT
HIS KINDRED AROUND HIM
UPON THIS BEATIFUL EVE
HE IS NOW WITH THEM
LET THE MORTALS GRIEVE
FOR THE MORTALS, THEY SHUNNED HIM
UPON EVERY GLANCE
THE RIDICULE FROM THEM
GAVE HIM NO CHANCE
HE NEVER NEW FRIENDSHIP
OR A FAMILY'S LOVE
NEVER HAD COMPANIONSHIP
TIL SHE CAME FROM ABOVE
LIKE A GODDESS SHE CAME
UPON THIS DARK NIGHT
SHE SAID, "NEVER AGAIN
SHALL YOU SEE THE LIGHT"
"WHAT IS LIGHT TO ME?"
HE TOLD HER TRUE
"IT SHOWS ME NO BEAUTY,
NONE SUCH AS YOU"
THE LADY SHE SPINS
A JOY TO BE SEEN
SO SEDUCTIVELY GRINS
HER BEAUTY A DREAM
"TELL ME ONE THING
MY LITTLE CHILD OF LIGHT.
WHY SHOULD I BRING
YOU INTO THE NIGHT?"
A LOOK OF CONCERN
PASSED OVER HIS FACE
HER BEAUTY DID BURN,
HER FORM WAS SHEER GRACE
A FIRE IS STIRRED
WITH EACH TIME HE LOOKED
HIS HEART IS HEARD
HIS SOUL HAD BEEN HOOKED
"I HAVE NOTHING HERE,
MY BEAUTIFUL QUEEN,
I HAVE NOTHING DEAR,
OF NOTHING TO SING.
FOR ME THERE IS NO JOY
SUCH AS OTHERS I SEE.
LIFE IS NO TOY,
IT IS A PAIN TO ME.
NO ONE HAS EVER SHOWED ME
COMPASSION, OR GRACE.
WHEN I TALK TO SOME BEAUTY
THEY LAUGH IN MY FACE.
NONE CARE FOR ME
HERE IN THE LIGHT.
I SHALL NOT LET THEM SEE
THAT THEY CAUSE ME SUCH FRIGHT.
I TRULY DO NOT FIT
WITH THOSE I SEE HERE.
AND SO HERE I SIT
AS THEY LAUGH AND THEY JEER."
THEN FROM THE DARKNESS
FORMS SEEMED TO FLUTTER
WHEN HE LOOKED UPON THIS
HIS SOUL SEEMED TO SHUDDER
"THEY TRULY DON'T SEE,
MY LITTLE CHILD,
SO COME WITH ME."
HER SMILE WAS SO WILD
HE ROSE TO HER THEN
NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD
SHE CAME IN AND MET HIM
AS THE NIGHT BEGAN TO SWIRL
THE EMBRACE WAS PURE BLISS
AND WHEN IT WAS DONE
HE'D NOT KNOW JOY AS THIS
WHEN WITH THE LIGHT HE WAS ONE
WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE
DID SHE BRING HIM TO THE NIGHT
SHE LEFT NOT A TRACE
OF THE MAN USED TO LIGHT
WITH A MACABRE GRIN
AND TO THE DELIGHT OF ALL
HIS BRETHREN ABOUT HIM
HE DID CALL
WITH A WOLF'S CRY
AND INTO SUCH DID HE CHANGE
HE LOOKED AT THE SKY
THIS FEELING SO STRANGE
TAKING ONE LOOK BACK
HOWLING WITH DELIGHT
HE RAN WITH THIS PACK
FOREVER AWAY FROM THE LIGHT
TRULY AT PEACE NOW
WITH LOVE FINALLY FOUND
HE WANDERED WITH EASE NOW
AND MADE NOT A SOUND
AND SUCH WAS THE WAY
THAT ONE TURNED
AWAY FROM THE DAY
THAT HAD HIS SOUL BURNED
THE MICONCEPTIONS OF LIGHT
HE NO LONGER FACED
AS FOREVER INTO THE NIGHT
THIS COMPLETED MAN RACED
THIS IS SAID TO THEE
AS A REMINDER TO ALL
TO ALL THE BEAUTY
HEARD IN KNIGHT'S CALL
BACK...
Back to my main realm...
Back to my poetry listing...
