The Devil's Nightly Quest CaREVISED OCTOBER 16, 2019
New Jersey’s cloven-hoofed devil
makes his way to the jetty
beneath the blanket of twinkling stars, anguish unabated
his appetency growing stronger each day
her song rose like mist upon salty tide
creating an irresistible allure
perhaps a mermaid so fair
can be the auspicious boon he...

Unrequited Love and Sad Nightly CallsUnrequited Love And Sad Nightly Calls
Wherein solitude, shades long day's travails
my desire for your true love yet remains.
Nights arrive, I battle through living Hells
death knocking loud with heartbreaking pains!
O' that your deep sorrows, you had not found,
into your private island had not fled.
Now, I am...

My Nightly VisitorsAs summer begins,
frequent visitors woo me;
Mosquitoes in stripes~
Stealing kisses on my cheeks,
Leaving kiss marks left and right.

Nightly Vigilsilence
across the table
sat with him
dressed in black
in the death of night
while his world slept
they waited there
refusing to slip quietly
in the hush of night

The Nightly ShadowThe shadow in the night beckons.
I slowly rise from my warm and cosy bed
Only to follow the urge that drives me mad
Into spectral half-fledged woodland,
That spreads beyond my lonely tower.
Without volition, I approach slowly
A great, gaunt gate that towered
Over a ghostly path among the...

Visiting Nightly Luna of DreamsEvening enchantress, she carefully selects
The most exquisite place in the sky to repose.
A marvel is our Luna, inspiring
Silver poetry, tides, and young forbidden love.
Delicately pretending to not watch
At the same time, missing nothing
Stirring imaginations, inspiring music and song.
Tempting the super controlled to be more...

Nightly Whisper/ Nächtliches Geflüster/ Susurro De NocheTrough nightly whisper
A pale moon hides behind clouds
With dancing shadows
A far murmur from the woods
Soothing gurgle from the creek
-----------------------------------------
Nächtliches Flüstern
Ein fahler Mond hinter Wolken
Mit tanzenden Schatten
Ein fernes Murmeln vom Wald
Ein sanftes Gluckern vom Bach
-----------------------------------------
Susurro Nocturno
Pálida luna detrás nubes
Sombras bailando
Murmullo lejano del bosque...

Addiction - a Nightly RitualAlthough even in childhood, the nightmares sometimes came
They grew far worse when Dan died, and I shouldered the blame
He followed me when I chose to swim across a lake
In the middle he cried out, “This swim I cannot make!”
Engaged for just one day, wedding plans...

Resumption of Daily Nightly Constitutional Lap1Resumption of daily/nightly constitutional
I accompany my dark shadow...
(many hours before edge of night,
where twilight zone evokes night gallery),
and resumed walking a circuit
around perimeter of parking lot
today, a breezy temperate
twenty fifth of April two thousand
and twenty two, and perhaps
if regularly habituate myself
to said stroll physical endeavors

Nightly Routine( NIGHTLY ROUTINE )
I look up to the stars above,
and I wish for your love.
I close my eyes so hard and tight,
and pray to God with al my might.
This is my nightly routine,
I ask for the boy within my dream.
I hope someday it will come...

Nightly FiddleFollowing your endless wander
A cold comfort embraced me
As you dove into the unknown
I could only follow your vague figure
Chasing someone, something I don't understand
As I caught up to you and turned your face
Your enigmatic face still fragile as ice
Fixated at the empty space ahead of...

A Nightly Massacre
The night is reeking with despair,
No moon, or stars at which to stare,
Shadows roam about unseen,
Pale imprints of souls once living,
Everywhere there's a deathly still,
Hungry horrors await their kill,
The town nearby is thick with dread,
For these threats are immune to lead,
Soon screams and cries come...

Dramatic Verse
SolaceLike the moon pours its light
Over a forest, in silence
Echoing the music of solace
Graceful like the sigh, inspiration
Healing darkness, nocturnal
Blessings venturing beyond the moon
Stars in glimpses of hopeful shimmering
Promising to make wishes come true with their laughter,
Blessing the heart, the soul – with
Knowing that...
