Darkness Rose Poem by Naveed Akram

And now as darkness rose from the mildness of the day,
The daughter of Joy exclaimed a meaningful play of words;
It was forbidden to play at houses, for it was time for war,
Time reared itself up towards the collar, escaping with howls.
Ships were drawn up, sailing for the opposition,
Forgiving the enemy for its ruination and pain inside.
To be random and magnificent was an action of riding
The waves of the ocean, that had twenty courses of dark blue.
The rainbow had set in, the heavens threw their glare,
As gifted sailors resisted their deaths in the bright blue sea.
About their bodies was a life to train again,
A gift has been godly for their ownership.
