Best Nightime Poems

Listening to New 
   Age music 
and relaxing late at night 
Mellow sounds 
   remind me 
that the time has 
come to 
        put 
       away

The time has come now 
For night to spread its dark cloak
Peace in the shadows...

My eyes wander, where window gazing, finds the crescent moon 
rifting the darkness, and against it's light
a magnolia branch is stenciled, black and keen

Three stars are tangled in the topmost bough...
And because deep loveliness is there, I turn to you...


The profile on the pillow is...

After  a day of mixed hopes and disappointments 
I lay down upon my old mattress
and watch 
    the television station where thy play new age music
    and offer poignant quotes
      sometimes they have...

It was her scent.
Soul, instantly rent.
Craving I could not resist.
A mix. Showered, skin sun kissed.
I stood with hand extended.
Engender nerve to be mended.
She pulled to embrace.
Gentle kiss brushing face.
No other, since.
Skin to skin that intense.
Lustier, bustier, smart and coy.
I believe I'll turn to wake my...

moving into the night, i saw such a great sight
lifting my head to plee, what has been done to me
before i knew it, i was being held
by men of night, i couldn't yell
and just so quickly the grip breaks free, to see a gun pointing...

i’m tired of being nice
of smiling and shaking hands
and clapping people on  the back
my patience is wearing thin

i’m sitting at the kitchen table
lightening a another cigarette
my second pack today
watching the moon
fall below the hedge
and the stars making promises
they can’t keep

the silence is not my...

Night provides its own answer 
to our dilemma
Our dreams are a puzzle 
which we must piece together 
We can dance the dance of joy 
If we succeed in our work 
From the dreamworld 
come answers 
From the dream world 
come the truths we need 
to...

Listening to 
  New Age music 
relaxing late at night
Mellow sounds 
   remind me 
that the time has come 
to 
put 
my 
thoughts 
on paper 
Realizing that 
  once 
  you 
   are 
   published

There are some days when night crawls in
and I fine myself afraid
and alone;
darkness gives way to darkness
when I open my eyes.
The light has left your eyes
so what is leading me home now?
What is home?
Shadowy tendrils grip my wrist
burning along the scars
ghost pains.
I tremble, shake, trying...

Without
the sun to shine
some slowly lose their will.
Some, however, thrive in darkness.
I do....

I wonder if
You hear my thoughts
I love you
With a thousand noughts 

Invisible
Like a gentle breeze
Of affirmation 
Rustles trees

I wonder if
Within your dreams
Affection flows
As living streams

Of hope and joy
Into your mind
As eyelids flutter
Undefined

I wonder if
As night revolves
You hug me
And all fear dissolves 

For as you dwell
In...

Erasing your fingertips. 

  

Painting over your love. 

  

The bruises no longer hurt, but the memories do. 

  

Picked me up at 2, dropped me home at 11. Of course, I’m only useful in the evening. At night you don’t want...
