The silence of the evening
falls and increscent darkness
begins encroaching.
A pleasantly overpowering fragrance
fills the air
perfusing the senses.
The Night Queen with a flair
unmistakable, tiptoes
into our souls, at first gently, then
with full vigour she
with her aroma weighs in.
Languidly we let ourselves be
beguiled by her wafting phial.
What is about her
that she chooses the nocturnal
hours to come into her own?
Is it so as not to be abashed
by daylight or not to be outdone
by other scented contenders?
We cannot fully apprehend
her ways as her enigma lingers
all around.
