The Night That Never Comes Poem by Olabode Famuyiwa

The Night That Never Comes

Rating: 4.3


There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls, -
my soul totally assuaged as good feelings wash towards the shore.

The waves of the beach gently touches my feet and makes me feel like a foal, -
with a quiet beating heart, a safe-haven I conjure.



A poisonous zephyr, pierced through my veins and harks to her doleful gramophone tune, -
resisting the melancholic sound, my peaceful stage crunched.

I tardily raised my gaze beyond the forth stretched flowing Neptune, -
even with the bright bedazzling moon, a black tear plunged.




My hard earned composure swiftly set the sail like an incautious pirate, -
her thoughts never left me, it lingered, new emotions plod.

Its another full moon, the rite has ceased to help me elate, -
I'm just a down and out lover surfing through the soppy clod.




Like a determined voyager, i hope to navigate through the storms
And patiently wait on a new moon and the night that never comes
