La Notte Eterna

Here am I – motionless - lost

As my eyes sting with emotion

Aching deeply within – silenced

In love with eternal night am I

As my loving sun has gone astray

I search for hope – a clue in mind

A mere word betwixt moon – stars

Knowing we can see – hear in tune

So sweet – divine in nature – blissful

In the silence of the night I remain

Until the sun returns to my grace

Once again and falling into eternity

For now I shall stay in “Notte Eterna”

Known is every corner in this realm

The opposite so new – strange to me

To bask in the moonlight I perceive

Yet, the sun burns my flesh – hurting

Inside – out, for unbearable is silence

I have crossed into the night – anew

Day of light no longer passes swiftly by

The night beckons unto me – insistently

Calling out to me - in voiceless whispers

The mistress of the night by own will

Loving the beauty within the darkness

Until the fates once again draw light

Bringing back my one and only, keeper

Of the keys so to unlock sweet, divine

Mysteries within my soul, still unknown

To me and the world around my being

All I can say – is that my heart beckons

Bleeding for release – that is me – you

Eternally in the sweet melody of the night
