Oh! The night blooming cerus beholds the beauty of night Under the moonlit sky ; it shines with all its might On the raucous deserts ,Above the sandy dunes After a thunder storm ,It sings me all its tunes A Queen of the Night ! A Miracle of the Desert! A Bride of the night! She awaits for a night , Only once in a year For its Shining Knight to come She waited every night just so she could bloom So the the spring would come ;and end her endless gloom She waits for the Moon Her one and only Groom She blooms once a year She blooms for only one night From when the sun sets to the sun's rise She reveals her nocturnal beauty By spreading her white pearls By the time she unfurls ; She is the goddess of the night The delicate white petals ,shining under the moon Glimmering under its beauty ,She becomes the Night's velvet With her shimmering silk, And bright white petals Her fragerance and aroma fills the night's air Luring the moths and creatures to kiss its delicate nectar Its a sight to behold Its a night to be claimed But one who claims the night is none other than the moon The one who rules the night The one who fights the darkness So the princess of the night glows her empheral beauty So that on one night; the moon would shimmer the tides And claim this beauty to only shine for him So when the night is gone When the Moon no longer shines The sun spreads its light and aparts the lovers of night The night blooming cerus ,now shrivels under the sun She returns to the shadows because the sun made her burn Just so that one day Her Moon would come and glow To claim her as her own The Queen of the Night And The King of the tides Shall dance only one night Under the night's veil, Under the twilight, Under the star's dust, Under the evenstide, The night blooming cerus blooms for the moon And the moon shines for her Tis' is a promise bade Forever for him and her .. ___tsuki no ume~
