An Angel In The Night Poem by Eferebo Chibuzor

In my dream was a beautiful woman,
Resplendent like the effulgence of the yellow mellow moon smiling on the horizon.

The night was gross-dark and foggy;
Drab and lonely, shrank my ribs.
But my desire as coal flamed into the wild unknown!

In my dream was this beautiful woman,
She lay by the bedside unclad
And her countenance like angels descending.
Wild desire sprang in me
Like sparks of awoken thunderbolts!

If I'd never touch you tonight,
Shall I not restless be?
If to behold an angel I find myself no more,
In heaven I'd find us in the aisleway.

Like Bible's Jacob,
Shall I hold your thighs
And gently thrust a rod of Moses in your nectar'd oasis!

And when I taste of your fruit of love,
I shall never hung again.
Or sip of your orange walls,
I shall never thirst again!

Oh this lovely night with an angel,
Wilt thou break into day soon?
Tis morning!
Oh I rise from my dream.
