Night Poems | Examples of Night Poetry

So many years ago... Yet I remember well. The night we all prayed... God let us know... Then on each His Spirit fell. The certainty that He loves me... The presence of His love. The Holy Spirit He set free... In power from above. In a dozen men that night who prayed... In a circle holding hands. Each of us confused... dismayed... Ever since...

In the depths of a night where dreams intertwine with shadows of desires, Hope sings like a siren's echo, calling souls to sail into the open sea, They told me to hold tightly to the thin thread of hope, like an anchor in a storm, "Hold on a little longer," they said, turning words into incantations, A response to...

As my words "cascade" off my tongue, onto the "myriad" of blank pages. Each letter will slowly "slither," slither into a "serpentine" of sentences. As I stop to read, will the pages "lilt" to me? With tired eyes I see a "nebula" bright night, as I look out my huge window at the "lunar" light....

Saphire eyes lit by Luna's beams, look on me with love, it seems. My heart feels the love you bring, come my dear, our love shall sing. Shadows of love upon a wall, as our temples rise and fall. Sighs escape into the night, come my love, our hearts take flight. Stay close and never leave my side, in love's embrace we both abide. I...

A cascade of swirls curled in the sky. Enveloping a host of ghostly nebula galaxies, glowing like a myriad of phosphorous flares, sent aloft to glisten in starry, starry eyes. The moon was off the scene somewhere, humming to itself, the haunting mantra lilt of a lunar lullaby, only it knows can put a smile, on its pocked blotched face. When the...

Dedicated to my dearest youngest sister, Happy Birthday Lucy (May 31) Age of novice years, a glow of purity along with a smile of innocence, born with a tiny frame yet exuded an ultimate presence. A light like no other, tremendous capability, but how so? In a sky of darkness, you are a tiny dot of bright light surrounded by ones of a larger proportion that casts a shadow...

The city sleeps, a myriad of hushed dreams, but above the quiet rooftops, a different kind of life unfolds. The streetlights, distant stars, cast long, serpentine shadows down empty lanes. A breeze, a lilt of forgotten music, whispers through the highest leaves. Somewhere beyond the familiar haze, the lunar glow fights through, a pale witness to the night's slow turning. I imagine currents of light, a cascade...

Under the bleak sky of a hopeless night, where stars hide their brilliance, two lost souls wander unknown paths, seeking their light in the abyss of silence, each unbearable day unfolds like a canvas of shadow and silence, time rolls on and the wheels of destiny crush dreams under their silent weight. Bones break under the burden of merciless...
