Carpe Noctem [Tongan translation]
Carpe Noctem [Tongan translation]
There is no future, there is no more past
No roots nor fruits, but momentary flowers,
Lie still, only lie still and night will last
Silent and dark, not for a space of hours,
But everlastingly. Let me forget
All but your perfume, every night but this.
The shame, the fruitless weeping, the regret.
Only lie still: this faint and quiet bliss
Shall flower upon the brink of sleep and spread
Till there is nothing left but you and I
Clasped in a timeless silence. But like one
Who, doomed to die, at morning will be dead,
I know, though night seem dateless, that the sky
must brighten soon before tomorrow's sun.
