The Night New York Slept
It was one solemn, long night, Tenebrous with the astuteness of perfidy, And multiple hours before the break of an Impatient dawn. Lampposts froze through the pergola of winter. Limp from exposure to unprintable tales of orgies, And their lights, hidden by icicles of pelted snow, They fell face-down on the wayward paths of Central Park. Manhattan was hung on the tattered frescoes...

Premium Member In the mystery of the endless night, when stars extinguish one by one
In the mystery of the endless night, when stars extinguish one by one, Shadows gently dance on the vast plain of my weary soul, And echoes of old longings rise, waking me from deep slumber, In search of a lost meaning among constellations of strange thoughts. On forgotten paths, my steps wander through forests of memories, Where trees whisper ancient...

Premium Member In the depths of night, when silence intertwines with the eternal dream
In the depths of night, when silence intertwines with the eternal dream, A dance of shadows is born beneath the sky full of fragile stars. Let my love be a hidden treasure in the heart of silence, In the sanctuary of the soul, a place where only desires breathe. In this invisible universe, I call you with whispers of...

Lots to write~ the subject, Night! Night reveals and covers… illuminates, and draws shades. Some insist on dark for intimacy… while I prefer to navigate by stars. ...

Premium Member Moonlight Lit on Pond at Night
The moon glows like a pearl on a dark pond. Ripples fracture its reflection beyond. Shadowy edges become a mysterious scene. With its face becoming alive to gleam, a demand that you read its lips and smile, to the omens it brings with gusto and guile. The moon above has a fixed stare, stony-faced! Reflected in the pond, it's wildly debased, Crying...

Premium Member In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret
In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret, I wove my fears with threads of stars, into a labyrinth of the soul. I withdrew when the light began to shine, when dreams took flight, Fleeing from the fear as old as time, an ancestral echo whispering constantly. Silent steps on unknown paths, I navigated through...

Premium Member In the silence of the night, words flow like a river of deep longing
In the silence of the night, words flow like a river of deep longing, She said it's just a poem, left on the windowsill to tremble in the wind, The ink is wet, uncried tears, a silent call, Her vulnerability, like a secret that cannot be told. I felt the chill when the sun set behind her, Her silhouette bare...

Premium Member In the dead of night, under celestial vaults of deep silence
In the dead of night, under celestial vaults of deep silence, The shadow of my soul intertwines with longing, In a dance of stars, spirals of time and dreaming, I hear my heart beating in rhythms of cosmic nostalgia. Through the dark forests of the mind, I wander aimlessly, On unseen paths, seeking meanings hidden beneath veils, In a world of...

Night Sweats
Lay there sinking, thinking under the surface of sodden anxieties. Recall you darkly the flickering hours, the tinctured years, as sweat-stained sheets leech. This room may be your last gasp, but you can’t tell, time distorts death as it does life. Come morning, the body (if it is still fitfully aware), may be rinsed by an untried light, an embalmed mind unwrapped as muggy dreams are moped...

THAT NIGHT
"My eyes were never shut that night, As I pulled my soul in the concept of Magnetic field, I looked through the reality of poets, It can be anyone- an engineer, an artist or a man with a broken heart, since hearts are meant to broke so a soul can join them in pieces again, Though Love and Sorrow."...

Premium Member In the Silence of Night
As the last of the day’s clouds disappeared, The moon, like a guard, boldly appears. Shining her soft glow over everything in a single sweep. Tired souls miss it all, for in the silence of the night, tired souls crave sleep. Flickering and dancing like fireflies, thoughts unfurl, Some into nightmares and some into dreams, Tired souls become entangled in a...
