"THE NIGHT" WRITTEN AND READ BY IFEANYI EMMANUEL AT LOUDTHOTZ POETRY OPEN READING SEASON 10 EPISODE 05 OCEAN

THE NIGHT

1. The night; bewitched with horror.

Of Eyes flooded with pellets of sorrows

Of flesh carved in bleeding letters

And souls frozen from the dreaded silence's breath. 

The gloomy skies spell my grief, muttering;

'T oday 

E yes shall cry

A nd men shall

R emember their departed 

S ouls.

Deep in the ocean of love lies burning candles.

Fade not, oh fade not.

For silent voices are loudest in secret chambers.

And loves dont die,  they sail.

Lingering  beyond to the abyss of nothingness.

For if there be a uniting hope

Then this tears will be my covenant to you.

The night; besotted with hope.

Of lips savoring the spice of reasons

Of breath clamoring the visage of hope

And sighs heaving the aspiration of a new dawn.

The silvery skies yearn my joy, urging;

'S prinkles of hearts

U nlocking wisdom to 

R espire the 

V irtues within and 

I ntrisical 

V im for being still, an

E xtant.'

Above the surge of ocean waves hangs threads of hope.

Live long, Oh live long.

For tearful divans are tranquil in stygian despair

And hopes dont fail, they die,

Slipping into the eye of turbulent vicissitudes.

For if there is a promise of love

Then this resolve will be my covenant to you.
