BEFORE ENGULFED IN DARK - -

before the nightfall, in the nebulous 
light, I've seen you, in the 
grove of fragrant 
screw pine,
just -
emerging from wild passion, in my 
realization, you're nesting a 
dream of midnight, in
your screwy 
eyes,
some unseen fascination alluring -
with new definition, again 
life is getting a sigh 
of relief, again
poetry of 
love 
mingling into the wild fragrance of 
enigmatic hawthorn - -
