The Music of the Night
Disclaimer- I do not own Ronin Warriors or any of its characters. The song "The Music of the Night" is not mine. It belongs to the people who wrote "The Phantom of the Opera".
Nighttime sharpens heightens each sensation.
Darkness wakes, and stirs imagination.
Cale silently crept into Kayura's room. Being careful not to wake her. As he entered the room, the door creaked. Cale froze. She stirred, but did not awaken. Cale breathed a sigh of relief and made his way to her bedside.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write.
For I compose the music of the night.
Cale gazed down at his love, taking in every detail. She's so beautiful. he thought as he watched Kayura sleep.
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender.
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving,
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight.
Dare you trust the music of the night?
Kayura opened her eyes and looked right at him. "Cale?" She sounded frightened. "Shh, yes, it's me." He sat down on the bed and drew her into an embrace. "You are so beautiful when you sleep." He said. Kayura sighed, "My dreams are frightening." Cale rocked her back and forth. "It's alright, I have you."
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth,
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be.
Cale began to hum softly as he continued to rock his love to sleep. The fact that he could sing was a secret that he kept carefully. Kayura sighed in contentment. Is this really Cale? she thought. She began to melt into the notes he was humming.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Fear it, feel it secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight.
The darkness of the music of the night.
Cale reached up and started to stroke her hair. He continued to hum his mysterious song. It sounds like the song of a lost angel. Kayura thought as she began to drift off.
Close your eyes, start a journey in a strange, new world.
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before.
Close your eyes and let music set you free.
Only then can you belong to me.
Kayura opened her eyes and turned to face him. He smiled at her. Oh, Cale, how I wish it could be like this forever. she thought. "Cale I…" he put a finger on her lips, then kissed her softly.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication.
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation.
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write.
The power of the music of the night.
The kiss deepened, both of them wishing that the moment would last forever. They parted, looking into each other's eyes. Cale drew her close once again.
You alone can make my song take flight.
She felt him slip something onto her finger. "Marry me?" he whispered. Kayura smiled and felt tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Oh, Cale…Yes, I will marry you."
Help me make the music of the night.
