As Evening Falls Poem by John Paul Ang

As evening falls,
I can hear the voice of sleep as she calls.
Inviting me once more to slumber,
To give another dream for me to remember.
Before | close my weary eyes,
I take a quick glimpse at the stars in the skies.
I marvel at the beauty of the darkness above,
glittering with star lights that I love.

I had already said my goodbyes to the sun
And my greetings to the moon as she shun.
Illuminating heaven's blissful dark veil,
Hoping that her light would never ever fail.

As my eyelids draws to a close,
The freezing west wind blows.
Giving me a comforting grave chill,
All in accordance to my sturdy will.

Then at last, my world is drenched in darkness,
My tired body succumbs to a fleeting numbness.
I can now feel no sorrow nor pain.
In my new world, I can't even feel the frozen rain.

In this land of infinite dreams,
all my fantasies are filled to their brims.
If only I could exist in this place forever,
If only I could be in this utopia not as a dreamer..
In this place, I cant help but only to be amazed,
Everything I can ever hope for is here,
..but I know that soon they will all disappear..

As sun again rises from the east,
Bringing an end to this temporary bliss.
Waking me up from my solemn sleep,
With all the memories of my dreams to keep.

I shall again wait for another night,
Wait for another break from the burdens of life
To escape from this tedious reality,
Towards my lucid fantasy.

..because that's the only place where I can be with you.
Where we share a love so sinfully true.
A love absolutely sacred and divine,
Essence of agape, where you are forever mine.
