Ease of Eve

Calm the night comes

She covers me so, delicate

soft, within quilted throw

do we take what it knows

call it knowledge, form a prose

these that tickle dance fancy

 

well...

 

They the night call owned

I breathe deeply serene

several swathed settled secrets

 

Bring the ease and eaves to sentries

while Wilde walks to heaven

with child's eyes, singing

never truer, has smiles adorned

the blank, making faceless

a thing of remain, gifts

is what we call this, lifted

into spirit, with energy in glisten

 

A night grows darker, still

but alight inside, candled

upon the sill, as I  gaze

out my window, happily

to see, faces upon tomorrows

friends upon the eve

in eaves of our existence

we gather as we leave

creating paintings

 

 

Others breathe

Beautiful. I love the last line, as well as the title "Ease of Eve", because of the larger metaphor I see at work here. You personify the night with such effervescent ease that I feel swayed and satiated by your words. It's almost a lullaby feeling, with a little more depth and a slight feeling of losing control. Well penned.
