Carpe Noctum!

Carpe Noctum, let the darkness transfix you
In a raven reverie of charcoal so pure.
Eclipsed from the blinding light that will burn you,
Reach for the night with its blackened allure.
Stand in the shadows, become but a farce,
You’ll be safe from the pain and dejection you feel.
After awhile, the anguish will pass,
Trust in the darkness, your wounds it will heal.
Like ignorant moths we flock to the light,
That sets us ablaze and turns us to ash.
Smoulder in flames, you surrender the fight,
You are struck by the lightning: killed with a flash.
Seize the night, seize ebony bliss
Carpe Noctum: redeeming kiss.

- Nicole Breen, "Carpe Noctum"
