Best After Hours Poems

AFTER HOURS
Dudes in duds broken down brims 
cocked and bent creases in trousers 
when thugs were gents 
People with attitude women too 
demeanor and outfits like 
Ebony's front pages
Dudes in duds broken down brims 
Money on backs eyes watching 
the eye's of watchers 
Entrances and...

Midnight  boom town  streets have this allure
imagining an uncanny venture
eavesdrop veil surround but dark as coal
how I love my after hours stroll

Secret worlds unfold their impish plot
mesmerised entanglement a tiered whatnot
black crush velvet  sky we must extol 
how I love my after...

After Hours

After hours-  
After the final checkout- 
After the library's final close-
Forever is too long- for a poets repose-
 Go ye there, Emily- 
In this line -And not that one- 
Not with regular mortals-
Inclined to caskets or crypts to die-
Yet abscond ye there- 
Through...

girl from Ipanema
soft and sweet
coming out of the speakers
wee hours of the morning
girl sitting beside me
on the bed
crying
she always cries to this song
ergo, that’s why I play it
still crying she takes my hand
places it where she likes it
takes the other one
places it where I like...

The monkeys called together all
Of the animals in the zoo.
There are tigers, giraffes, lions,
Lizards, zebras and rhinos too.

They have an enormous party
After the people have gone home.
This happens every single night
When the animals are on their own.

The tigers love chocolate ice cream,
Lizards always play with...

my favorite time

just sitting and watching you

prepare for your day

a routine that's never old

outfit on , unwrapped for night...

After hours, Maud, ginger cat,
Goes through O in fence:
No nonsense. 

Goes to roundabout, 
And sits there on still car.
Becomes calm...

Tail around, 
She does not study her environment.
She is like a totem as she waits for silver dawn.

midnight at the oasis
a short stroll
on cool dewy grass...

The night the wind...blew
The sky turned grey from blue
As birds felt free fond of a feeling
Their feathers often knew

To such a night I give a smile
Flowers dance for a while
Before the moon illuminates
The sun descends in style

The soil combs it's grassy hair
A chlorophylic perm is...

Deftly you travel,
Be it ice or air,
Through atmospheric panels,
And liquid guard rails,
Days with no beginning,
Seasons with no end,
From the moment you began skating,
To the second I turned my head,
Own eyes lock indefinitely,
You leave your arms outstretched,
While mine entwine instinctively, 
My callousness leaves you disheartened,
So you...

after the show or play
come this way
there's places

where they hump
and bump
all thur mdnight hours
 you get a funky
lover showers
LETS PARTY AFTER HOURS...

When the sun makes the hills its grave

And the moon comes out to play

I sit and reflect on what happened that day

That week

Or even that year

Then the clouds sweep me up 

And wipe my tears

I jump on the sky

And swing from the stars 

I pull...

party's over
when you're sober
can't walk home to-night

keep on stumbling
stomach's rumbling
better stop to get a bite

but what can i say
i wish you'd stay
and cry on this shoulder to-night

but we were young and
restless wanderers and
couldn't be out in the light...

It is now eventide at the museum,
Myriad masterworks line the walls, 
Elated crowds no longer pressing,
In rapt thrall of beauty and color!
Art awaits once more being beheld,
On a night of porcelain moonlight.

Deep in the night

I lay awake, alone-

Thinking of your touch as light-

Tempted to pick up my phone


Craving you by my side

To keep me warm;

Wrapped in your hide:

Sheltered during the storm


Your hands are cold 

But lips are hot against mine;

Chin hair on my cheeks that you...
