Best Nighttime Poems

NIGHTTIME DREAMER
I closed my eyes to catch the wind,
Murmur its way through the green of the field
Hoping somehow in it I'd hear,
You sigh sweetly as you oft do
For your heart on a sleeve you always wore
Even when life taught you to know better.

I hoped to...

Nighttime Paradox

Hideous tornadoes have moved on this night, 
Storm clouds still flashing in the east,
Fireflies flickering, sparkling, skimming devastation
As if they claim the title of stars,
Mocking skies where barely seen in heavens play.
Tears fall for neighbors’ losses;
Tears fall for gratitude for being spared this dark...

The footfalls are audible in the hall.
I can hear scraping against the wall.
During that time, I was lying in bed.
The obscurity engulfs me in dread.

A screech can be...

I embraced the silent space,
In a moment caressed.
Rhythm from the saxophone  a gift,
to the fluidity of her movement.

Perfection gave life's breath,
to melted candles and sensual eyes.
When beauty came to a pause,
so my eyes could feast on her alone...

Through the louvered window
The moonlight slips in furtively
Barring her flawless suntanned skin
Musky fragrance pervades the air
Stirring the mind with anticipation
Mellow sensual intoxication.

God will complete His work,
He never will forsake;
angels are keeping guard
along each path I take.
I trust His guiding hand;
He will not let me fall.
His sovereign grace is reigning over all.

His grace sufficient is,
His mercy overflows;
each footstep that I take
my God already knows.
Though sorrows overtake
wounding on...

in flight my thoughts
dreaming, I wander to view
she, whom has captured
to see her my heart flutters
on arriving my eyes see

chatting we now walk
soon amidst our wanderings
hungered moments flow
hotel door now closed, we're close
eight thousand miles diminished...

in a warm summer evening

Envy devoured me as I witness the wind,
Caressing her milky complexion,
Gently blowing the hair off those defined rosy skin,
Revealing Stargates into Heaven,

Within the depths, finding warmth pouts and sultry smiles,
The smell of home flooded my memories,
Every touch and movements pausing the dials,
A stellar conquest of...

who excites her sleeping sighs

AFT-PLAY  - Nighttime Musing


Listening -
soft murmur of her breath
gently moving silken strands
draped across her face,

Nuzzling -
beauty’s aromatic aftermath

adrift -
on a sea of dreams.

Such close relationship with death we keep,
As we embrace the nothingness of sleep.
Not careful enough for a fall so steep -
One moment awake, the next fast asleep.

A Goddess of forgotten time therein,
Who donned a crown of stars upon her head,
Constellations engraved on midnight skin,
The land...
