May Night Poem by Daniel Brick

May Night

Rating: 5.0


Already this night is a poem.
Heavy clouds overtake blue metaphors.
They convince the sky
its crystal heart must bleed.

Rain searches for its analogies.
Dark water
mixes with dark earth
and through the air

swirls their wet black smell.
Night looks at herself
in the black mirror
bordered by a million stars.

In a jade palace
the Princess of Night
watches her lover smile
in a cloud of stars.

daniel, this poem charms me with many of its phrases: Already this night is a poem. Heavy clouds overtake blue metaphors. They convince the sky its crystal heart must bleed. Rain searches for its analogies. Night looks at herself in the black mirror bordered by a million stars. In a jade palace the Princess of Night watches her lover smile in a cloud of stars. you see i've copied almost the entire poem! however, i confess i find a firm grasp of the things described eludes me. but still... charming. glen
