Midnight Poems - Poems about Midnight

Long after midnight in late December woke one night in total fright as where I was did not remember but more importantly couldn't see the forest for the trees and did not recall myself at all or who exactly was this me but when I could it would feel so good as then I'd be out of the woods so instead of groping blind did quite the obvious...

“The darkened sky stole my tears” and left me to face the threat of cancer with deep doubts. Fear overwhelmed me, my tears absentee, dreading the shadows of my whereabouts. Not hiding my bald head maybe was dumb; my plague, the curse of chemo, I abhorred. Then I read the beginning of wisdom is found in the fear (reverence) of...

You ride through shadows, chasing dawn, But you never saw the storm you spawned. I’m not the girl you left behind-- I walk the dark with purpose, spine. Your wheels may spin on borrowed fate, But I was born to navigate. I don't chase ghosts or beg for grace; I set my fire and claim my place. The night knows me--I wear its...

Midnight Star Radiant night Darkness takes flight Candles with a low dim light Star’s glow bright Oceans crash on the rocks Moonlight on the docks Your reflections tread across the water Stand by you forever Take me under Black sky watches over A second chance Together at last You are Midnight Star It’s burns from...

This poem is an English translation of one of the beautiful Bengali poem of PS poet Malabika Ray. Midnight chimes unveil in cascade, glances of your shimmering face engulfing me in a transient dream... As if you never went away! As if I didn't wake up to see you're gone! As if I no longer felt the shatters of pain...

Generation, slide like land? Fall into the sea? Toil, tamarind! Much is planned! So then, file my plea! Weather, looking bad of late. Volcanic my hate! Cross the world or just the strait? Better set the date! Thunder, roll above us all! Floodwaters to rise! Fate and Fortune, fill the hall! He who seeks the prize: Here is one last riddle! Nothing is to last? Play, O second fiddle? Goblin,...

ABYSS Abyss, a Place of Redemption solace space curling then unfurling here we sail drowsy dark seas no boats or oars, unaccompanied converse with walrus and whales black shimmers silent, we brook it Abyss, a cloak of protection as alchemy distills gross, grime, goo a thousand fingers unseen sew broken pieces of Life, loosen patronising hooks Angels of ...

Traveling through these thoughts of mine. Thinking of all the things I’ve left behind. Wondering what may come in future time. Hoping for the pain to subside. As were put through to take the test. Doing only what we think is best. Trying to be better than all the rest. Finding comfort within our nest. Yet in our struggles, we bring ourselves pain. Trying...

midnight dancer the ballerina turned round and round upon her pointed toes to the gentle sound of the music box before the lid was closed i followed from a distance watching as she gathered cigarette butts and paper napkins the haze of yellowed streetlights reflected onto her teeth when she smiled through shattered memories her black wool coat was more than she needed and less than she wanted when the...

The city exhales steam like a tired beast, its breath pooling in alleyways where no one walks anymore. Cold, wet cobblestones gleam like the backs of forgotten coins, each one holding a secret you must step lightly not to disturb. Streetlamps blink like they’re remembering how to dream— orange halos shivering on the slick asphalt, casting shadows with no one to belong to. Shop windows sleep behind grimy...

Have to keep the door closed (after that midnight treat) The coyote or wolf far off (too close) Can’t remember the plot (salsa has tightened its grip) upon awakening (not at all sure of that) the widening of the dark I open the door slowly to the shadows (a strange light and likeness) The wild animal is scarier enclosed, inhibited (it tears at my throat, claws my innards - from...

First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...
