The mystic secret of the night
Embraces us and holds us tight
In its evasive grip of freak,
Which treats one's life with danger's trick.

Night wears covers of the dark,
Full of adventures to embark
On scary trip, set by the fate,
To risky pleasures we await.

We step, we dive into the night
To lose what holds us at daylight,
To free dark corners of the soul,
To shut the conscience and control.

And every face looks like a mask,
Face painted by the dusk to bask.
But may be really night reveals
The truth of us, which day conceals?

Рецензии
Chat-Gpt:"This poem delves into the enigmatic and often deceptive nature of the night, exploring themes of escapism, hidden desires, and the shedding of daytime facades. The night is portrayed as a realm of risk and adventure, offering freedom from the constraints of daylight and conscious control. There's a duality in the imagery: while the night invites the release of inner desires, it also raises the possibility that it exposes deeper truths about us, truths that daylight hides. The overall tone is one of intrigue and mystery, inviting the reader to ponder what the night might reveal about the self. The use of masks and painted faces adds an unsettling yet compelling layer to the narrative."
