A/N** Heyy! Hi again. So this is also a poem which I had written when I was doubting myself. You will have to read between the lines. First off many might not know the meaning of Nyctophile, so here, noun- a lover of night. In fact this poem has a lot of metaphors. Even the title.
I have compared a Nyctophile to a brave person who is ready to face the night. Night- ( the challenges) and infact loves to face the challenges
While a person calls herself brave, she doubts herself
So, I will leave it to you now , that how you want to interpret the poem
Thank you :)**Am I the only one who calls herself a Nyctophile,
Me the one who hasn't even met the open night sky?
The one who hasn't even been under the roof of those stars?I like the dusk
I like it when the sun goes down.
But I don't think of myself as a pessimist
I just wait to see the moonThe moon might not be there everyday
Or perhaps be that bright too.
So what I love the most are the stars!Those twinkling jewels in the gloomy night sky
They remind me of hope
When I even forgot how to live
When all I could see was the dark.I have never left myself alone in that dark roof
Afraid of what it might beholdBut still I love it and await the night
I await it to proove myself
To erase all my doubts and burry my cawardice
To make place to give birth to a brave heartI would still doubt myself that whether I really am a Nyctophile
Perhaps yes,'Cause I would wait for the sun to go down,
So as to count more jewels of hope
And for the chance to play under the roof of those stars.A/N ** Oh well... I did that again, didn't I?😂**
XO
