Analysis of Princess of the night



Advent, passing drapery
To the veiling days

Traverse within the dusk
Amidst twilight’s threshold hushes

But, for mere moments…
Then the hastening

Twinkling sparkles
Thus, commence jealousy influx

And heavenly bodies falling
For simple glimpses of your face

Where nights with moonlit crown halos
Unfold before you…

Bestowing buttress sounds
The royal eves, subjects to your grace

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
