Night Affair Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

Sweet nocturnal experience
occurring in night daylight
Stealthily panic-romancing victims
Embarrassing them all
To a point of no return
In day break daylight.

Conscious of the embarrassment
The victims lay resolved
Against the circular cycle
of deceptive embarrassment
From the nocturnal tormentor
In the guise of friends or foes
Luring albeit lynching victims
To the sweet but sad action.

As the captives snapped on to sleep
Quickly, as the photographer's camera flash
The negatives developed and printed out
Continued awake in a new daylight
In familiar and unfamiliar scenes alike
carrying their normal day break duties
As usual, faced with the vagaries of life
And answerable to natures clarion call.

Resolved never ever, they went only to conventional places
off loading their loaded bladder decently
As ethical as convention allowed
And the day's activities continued
Till a stir on mats messed and a pool for fools sensed
As rays of light flickered in
heralding yet another daybreak daylight.
