The Meeting

'twas a lonely starless night
The North wind crooned a haunting melody
Far from life's common delights
Two strangers met on the dark sea

If sparkling stars were source of joy
'twas a night of sweet misery
Floating aimlessly like anchorless buoys
Two strangers met on the dark sea

As the northern wind chilled the soul
And the half moon evoked ancient memories
As Lilith roamed the water cold
Two strangers met on the dark sea

Though the stars gave no lights
Though the strange dark sea
And the ghostly wind despite
You and I met finally.
