Midnight Son

Oh, those days of a Midnight Son
Of wild abandon
Love on the run

When sunset goals invade the brain
And hijack thoughts
A one-way train

For life begins at 12 am
At clubs and bars
No rules to stem

In rendezvous, in tryst of love
Where lusts prevail
Affairs thereof

Alas, a Midnight Son grows old
Yet, memories stand
In thoughts paroled

CayCay Jennings Date: 1/13/2018 9:56:00 AM As a once midnight daughter this drew me in and I recognized bits of my younger self in your stanzas. Your poem was like a visit to the past, an enjoyable one because time only kept the good parts. That may just be my watch. Well done. Blessings ...

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 1/7/2018 7:56:00 AM It is funny how the years change us when we think they never will, like enjoying long hair music. A lovely nostalgic piece Mike! : ) Login to Reply CayCay Jennings Date: 1/13/2018 9:57:00 AM Connie - did you really just call rock n roll, long hair music? Really?
