Best Starlight Poems

Starlight

As sunset fades from pink to violet
And twilight skies show trees in silhouette
Our heaven's open vault of diamonds shine
In awestruck twinkling glimmers so divine.

Reflections from these stars upon the sea
Share a peaceful grace with humanity.
Moon with its companion Venus, not far
Displays bright light but neither...

Beyond the sun's celestial dominion, 
past purple shimmers of twilight,
I delve far beyond moonlight's golden glow 
into the darkness of pilloried memories,
continually searching for answers but fail to find
those that keep my heart fettered in chains.

Within my restless sleep reveries trespass,
flowing through saturnine channels of...

We all seem to think of flowers, only in the sun.
Did you realize at night, it is time they dance in floral fun?

After the busy insects, got their tasty food for the day,
The flowers can relax in the most unique, enchanting way.

They recall with nostalgia,...

By Starlight 

How proud stands the willow
in silhouette of twilight skies.
The willow never weeps alone, 
tears of joy stream down cheeks
at the footbridge where she 
touched the water, where
Moonbeams dance
In the land beneath falling stars, 
In the land of purple thunder as 
Lightning strikes in...

Many mirrors have been broken some by me and some by you 
When the stars of heaven appear, we'll know what to do 
Yesterday's reflection is a changeling my friend  
So let's hang on to tomorrow, with hope that never ends  
When the...

Look up to see a dome of black velvet
lavishly set with crystals of starlight.
And watch time confetti infinity;
unveiling trillions of lights to the night.

Mars and Jupiter share a reddish tinge
as Venus and Mercury pierce Night's haze.
And though Neptune and Uranus are faint, 
Saturn's elegance evokes...

The Sweetest Starlight
 
You are the sweetest starlight shining across the ocean so pure
Moonlighting and enchanting my dreams with warmth aglow,
Touching gently my heart and soul with your beauty and wonder;
If we were together—I would hold you so gently in my arms and I
Would forever...

The beauty of a galaxy 
Is heavenly
A tapestry of dreams in speckled light
Beneath a lilac tree
You made love to me
More tenderly than truly at first sight

My ecstasy is suddenly
A raging sea
A misery so deep it will not die
In this, my fantasy
Of love, eternally
Your memory is...

I see your starlight shining.
With each smile, you light up more.
The night skies can’t resist you,
for your face they so adore.

I see your starlight shining.
Your eyes, like stars above,
are gracing me with sparkles
of your abounding love.

I see your starlight shining,
and others see it too.
Shine, my...

My eyes were on the ground today,
My heart kicked into dust.
My soul felt full of tears today,
My spirit crumbling rust.

And so I dragged the dog and me,
Into blackness on the hill.
And left the village bright and busy,
For the darkness, soft and still.

Up the rise my...

night time’s starlight moon
curdles the whey of longing
clouds mask heart’s desire
trembling arms reach out to you
train whistles haunt the captives...

when he spoke
words broke like glass between his teeth
14 minutes past 8PM 7 weeks after the red river
in his brain ran almost dry
he the acidic and sullen shadow of his youth
turned to me
(one side of his face a landslide of flesh
frozen into freefall 
thus i...

You taste as if twilight were—
lavender swirling like smoke from the earth
licorice lingering with the full moon’s soft pull
a sweetness both dark and divine.

Your skin sparkles with starlight
electric and soft as moth wings.
We sip the pink sky
lemonade lakes cascade through our fingers
time unspools between our...

Shining, shimmering
Laughing across the heavens
Reflecting all the wonder
Found inside the breathless
Whisper of a caress, a kiss
Pleasure that is beyond compare
Joy that lives in the heart who heeds
The song of the stars, rhythmic
Pounding out a tempo, graceful
Beautiful ballad of hope, inspiration
Embracing the night, gentle lights
Singing in...
