Spectral Dance Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Into a spectral dance
And glow
The bony skeletons
Of the hollow
Eyes
Move hither and
Thither so!


Why
I opt for the spectral dance
You must be
As I am
A lover of the night
Though not a hater of the day.


But when
You put up I prefer
Night to the light that's
Day
Though
For the Dawn I have my sway.


But night too wonderful
That is
Full of wonders
And I deem night
Too beautiful!


What more one needs
Than night and beauty
And subconscious too?
Put them in the scales:
And for yourself
See which scales fall
Or whether for you
It's the case
Of having just an equal all.


But for me yet
The scales towards night
Fall rather easy:
My verse shows
How in the night
My song glows.

And
In all this
Desire so
Into a spectral dance
And glow
The bony skeletons
Of the hollow
Eyes
Move hither and
Thither so!
