Long Nighthawks Poems

I'd risen from my bed quite early, in the pale silent sunshine,
And I thought to have a day out, and not waste summer's prime.

The world still was sleeping, but the bluebirds sang a tune,
And blooms...

I was an illustrious, nuclear physicist, and I was studying the strong force,
Holding together building blocks of all atoms, as stars hold to their course.

That force joins roaming quarks, which neutrons and photons are made...

The beloved Queen of Hearts was a merry queen, who'd ever loved to bake;
Like confetti midnight stars, sparkling; or the yellow, noon sun, wide awake.

She baked myriad varieties of cookies, and delicious pies of different...

His campfire coffee is steaming hot, 
   there’s stew cooking in the pot, 
And his biscuits and cobbler we love a lot, 
   He’s our chuck wagon cookie. 
 
Master of...

You could see the lone figure in the pale, fading light,
Bedding down the doggies for a restful night.

He had been in the saddle since early morn',
Now feeling the aches of the drive that made him...

Ah, faith! Golly gosh, life in the city!
Hustle and bustle n' a big metro wander
Exhaustion, life, anger and pretty gritty
Misty, grimy lights loudly grab a beggar

The sidewalk shops like a cold surround
Hot action, big ole'...

Embryos sing saddle-sore sonatas, beneath 
the despot eaves of chromium skies, reflecting 
black light down upon the harbours where 
ambition claws the air and slowly dies; and 
nighthawks scream a siren song of sadness, for...

These woods once rich with leaves,
brushed kiss from the wind then stolen by thieves
now latent bow by snow.
Its touch glistening glow
melt tears, I think I know to watch allurement 
flow its caress weaves.

Sun makes its...

What twist of fate has befallen us?
When nighthawks no longer soar by day --
Ritualistic measures of time usurps moonlight
 
Where then shall I see upon my love’s face ~
A smile that would light the ancient...

Night’s shadow lours upon the world
And the streets are silent like the
Netherworld—without a single
Morning soul to be seen or heard.
But amidst the dimness is a lone
Lit nest serving toffee...

I wasn't completely sure who I just was, so 
I counted off three-chimes of the bell in the
clock tower.... I'm out late.... Nighthawks swoop
and Crickets hush their tensile ratchet, until I

I couldn't help you,
crying in your shadows,

I couldn't reach you,
walled in distant canyons,

        nighthawks soar in grey moonlight,
        eyeless blind to...

Betwixt an echo the night tide dawns

As the nighthawks crow hushed serenades

From behind many a veiled barricades

Swayed I am as wicked symphonies spawn


Unannounced temptation had visited

When a Syrian beauty caught my eye

From the base of...

Hopper and his hand
Showing us what
Coffee consumption
looks like, at 3am...
 
With a war waging on…
 
His stroke mastered the
Indemnity
Of the slurp,
The underlying principle
Of 24/7
 
Strangers screaming in silence
And soldiers savaged only hours
ahead
 
The lights of...

The sky canvas seems glittery.
Hiding a divine mystery
The red moon’s rays glow like ruby,
Sapphire stars shine so silvery.

Swift's shadows sing the sun's send-off.
Each shade shows nature's mastery.
Midst black-sheep clouds are a taut trough.
Sapphire stars shine...
