In the depth of night, we gathered as one,
With eyes akin to a tiger, fierce and undone
The night itself, a canvas, poetry unbound,
Diction, akin to skyscrapers, soar as sound.
The moon and stars danced in verse.
A cosmos in every window spells obverse.
We gazed in awe at the grandeur we wove.
A suburb of the lexicon, a testament to love
Some of us were clad in cold-weather gear.
Others have palms and hearts full of cheer.
But, in a stupor, we all wore thrilled cloaks.
Words painted universes with each stroke.
Where are you, poets of the seas and air?
A word may soar hills and dive with no care.
I'll cherish them close to my delicate heart.
Endure in the city of words; never depart.
In the depth of the night, we saw your light.
A beacon of verity, blazing ever so bright.
Together, we gathered, souls entwined high.
Bound by the power of words, we decry.
You, poets of oceans, of the untamed,
Verses are akin to waves, ever unchained.
In the quiet night, we still hear your voice.
Echoing through the depth, giving us choice.
I'll dwell in your spoken city of dreams.
Here stories are told, and the heart gleams.
I decry peace and comfort in your poetry.
A wonderful escape, yet a haven of flattery
As long as I breathe, words I'll embrace,
In this heavenly glamor, a timeless space
In the depth of night, we gathered as one.
I was enthralled by the mysteries you spun.
You captivated us with your ferocious gaze.
At the same moment, everything was ablaze.
Our poetry reached skyscraper-like highs.
Seeking to reach for the stars in dark skies.
