Vale on vale, the diamanté night
winked out to the infinity 
of perpetual heaven.

He saw himself over the sea, tearing
stars from the sky with his imaginary eyes,
and felt the dread weight

of another incredible ending.
There was Dawn, over there, pleading
with Late Evening,

just to be acknowledged 
but only little lights appeared 
to gladden the sad of his smile.

Open your mind, dear Night,
to the invisible miserable, waiting
and watching the very same heavens

but from the opposite view
and bestow a glad kiss 
as impatient, she stifles her choir

with vaporous blankets to pacify 
hearts at each end
of these romantic tragedies,

the characters, covetous, devious, 
inevitably crying and loving the drama
of terminal vanity, as we die dreaming.

Great poem, Bee! Oh like so much the idea of perpetual heaven and dying dreaming.
This is leading me to: "perpetual heaven dreaming". Hmm, very touchy, Bee!

Thanks so much, tibi. That's really nice.

Intriguing poem, Bee

I like the idea of day and night as rivals, I've often thought about writing a piece on that theme myself, but never got around to it, but you have done a good job of it here.

A fan of Romanticism and the personification makes this gentle piece floaty light.  A softer side of Bee, too! Hope ok Bee, I've been in BabyLand just surviving.

Getting soft in my old age! I loved babyland - hard work, but you don't get to return when you all too quickly come out the other side and wish you could. 

Enjoy!

And thanks for for reading.
