Night Poems | Examples of Night Poetry

My terror grows with each passing night, As slow, steady darkness steals away sight. Footsteps and whispers add to my fright — Is there an end to such desperate plight? How long, too long, till dawn’s early light! I clutch my candle in trembling hand, And watch the shadows dance to understand What I envision as its light expands Through the room and...

Ballad for Ruby and the Dice" Angie, she whispered through cigarette haze, The ghost of a name from my wilder days. Under my thumb, I thought hearts would stay, But wild winds never learn how to obey. Paint it black, I told the sky that night, When Ruby Tuesday danced out of sight. She wore her sorrow like lipstick red, And left my...

To drink you in like a spring of light, in the mystery of the night unfolding Into thousands of silver threads, woven by stars on the sky like a silk canvas. Your body, a cathedral of desires, beneath my trembling fingers, Is a map of constellations, where our dreams catch and unite. Your serene gaze, a crystal lake in...

In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom, and silence reigns in my shadowed room, my pillow waits, serene, composed, awaiting my sleepy head to doze. Beneath my head it yields its form, to cradle my crown from day’s storm, and offer a sweet night’s repose, yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows? She seems so sweet, pretends to care, yet every night disturbs...

A wild unpredictable stormy night Harsh wind squeals through window panes Random deafening claps of thunder Lightning illuminates the night sky again Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles Mother nature is enraged tonight Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile Inside the walls of the old stone cottage A sacred wood fire blazes bright Radiating great warmth and infinite...

Wrapped in the solitude of one blessed night the moon-eyed moon wanders lightly and alone inside a vast and deep, darkly expansive sky Dark cores of light glide through a dormant ether, as butterfly shadows play softly against a dense canopy of leaves. A still figure appears as if by chance, underneath the cadence of the light, swaying like wavering puppets on a string she...

A Night of '89 Footsteps at midnight the knock no one dared answer. Dogs howled in silence. Charred Bodies on the road, eyes still open to the sky. The crows never ask. Posters on the wall by morning, the faces fade. Smoke curls from tire pyres . Mother lights a lamp. Her son's shoes still by the door. She dares not whisper. Gunfire in the dusk, then a scream...

The sweet breeze making the tree limbs sway brings the scent of pine tonight. Drunken, two bunnies gracefully play in the gentle glow of the firefly night. The painted sky begins to fade and the stars are becoming bright. The sky is now dark blue suede, in the gentle glow of the firefly night. The...

Secrets cling to the shadows, the light Softly glowing, flowing against a soft night While the melancholy dreams breathe, stirred By the distant thunder, the storm’s heard Revealing the silence, the story so inviting Soundless images of hope I keep writing! ...

I’m in an open field, beneath the heavens and the stars. I pour out my heart in song, while the river of my grief flows with turbulence and turmoil. I look up at the sky; in the stars, I see hope. In the moving clouds, I perceive a passage, an...

The night wanders the darkness, always looking for a sign. The stars offer her no warmth, staring at her nakedness. Seeking the full moons' advice, it spoke of the silent night. How there was a ray of hope. When sparrows call their bright lord, rising in the eastern sky... betrothed to the morning sun~ ...

Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night, We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path, But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same, It softens, deepens, learns to...

Skies sparkled with snow diamonds drifting through the magic that surrounded the effervescent darkness. The tulle breath of the forest spirited the moonglow in a spritely capricious demeanor and addressed me as … it spoke … of the curious sounds seeping from the lavender mist. Moon and stars joined to illustrate a tale of strength behind the human laws of moral...

Rainbow in the Night: When you see those smiling, and living in the surround, It leaves you frightened, and feeling like a sad clown, It leaves your thoughts dancing, dancing in the lights, High above those you know, and you don't want to give them any delight. Those who lived so fake and pushed you away, There is not...
