Best Hopenight Poems
When the day comes calling
I desperately try to reach out…
…To my dreams
That have troubled me the night prior
…And also to the night
That has given them a lap to sleep on
…To the sleep
That although never came yesterday
Promises me some rest tonight.
So that when the day calls again tomorrow
I have tucked in my restless dreams, night, sleep and all
In one small crease under the pillow!!
Hair caressing my face
as if a lovers’ touch
glare jolting iris
A lighthouse forever
broadcasting the warning
debris flying above
vortex vibrant glory
rubbish has its beauty
Steady
watching and waiting
a galleon
its cargo
of great worth
Westerly gale
howling
against a hunters moon
behemoth of the ocean
crashing against the shore
ghost voices on the wind
lost ships
living in the gale
forever screaming
rope be cast
heave ho
night after night
waiting for a ship
A westerly wind
carrying fulfillment
A precious cargo ….
A dream that
one day a ship
might just come in ….
it is night time, I see your face in the stars I feel your gentalness with the swaying of the leaves Its night time cold and dark, but the moon warms my heart with the thought that we will be together again soon.
Alas this morning brought such unforeseen sorrow
Break of dawn the light before the morrow
Call of the lark as skies change from black to blue
Dusk settled after midnight as I left you
Encounters painful in the cold light of day
Forgiving the actions of the night and foolish play
Grieve not for the games of the weak of heart
Harken to the promise of the Lark
Intentions often tend to pale against the truth
Just as I tried and failed not to lie to you
Kiss of the rose with thorns to cut and bleed
Let loose the venom pulsing inside on which hate feeds
Master the night and the morning will hold no fear
Nor regrets to settle ever closer near
Offer unto the stars, the moon, the skyline too
Promises if this day could start anew
Question the cosmic design of which were drawn
Rise unto the heavens from whence new life was born
Surpass the expectations made of you
Temptation but the tears of morning dew
Undress before the mirror and reveal
Victorious the inner child now kneels
Welcome home sweet consciousness of mine
Xmas such a beautiful loving time
Yuletide brings the need for all to meet
Zealously my new beginning I rush to greet.
it is night time, I see your face in the stars I feel your gentalness with the swaying of the leaves Its night time cold and dark, but the moon warms my heart with the thought that we will be together again soon.
A night of smiles who shsll i tell
a night of experience who shal see
a night of bliss who shall believe
shall i tell ono or no one
i am in a hold who shall set me free,who shall pour me out
believe me
there shall be a believe some day in a belief
which is only endeuring
which is only believing
for those who believe
who trusts
who understands
there i just one he said on e he said
only trust and it shall set you loose
A Tattoo of Stars
My shadow from the door
Of the bar room night
Cold as the pavement
In neon light
Silhouettes of a smoke man
Blows clouds through the dark
And I’m thinking
Of someone else’s wishing
Turns the night to a tattoo of stars
Winking in the softness
Of shadowling palms
Swaying to an old song
With the memories of a juke box
I turn my collar to the cold
Friday night is lingering
Another place is calling
Vodka and karaoke singers
In the heat of Mediterranean summers
All left and gone
The streets sing on their own
And I’m thinking
Of someone else’s wishing
Echoed back my footsteps
And the dogs are barking
Wandering down windy alleys
The sea a glinting full moon on the rise
Drops its silver for the haunting
Of a night of tattooed stars
And I’m thinking
Of someone else’s eyes
Hands delve deep to the warming pockets
But the brace of breathing air
Helps to steady the smile
She’s somewhere in the wind there
I can almost feel her cheek
Pressed against the straying breeze
Friday night is lingering latent in its heat
I never new how being alone
Could taste so sweet
And somewhere she is sleeping
With her arms around me
And she’s dreaming
She’s dreaming
Of someone else’s wishing
