Nights Poems

Nights like these

The rage prevails
On nights like these
When reason fails
And anger breeds

It matters not
The efforts made
The tension’s hot
Foundation laid

The venom spews 
From your mouth
You leave no clues
Of what went south

We all must guess
On what, the cause
To start this mess
And prime your claws

And even when
We challenge you
You twist a spin
Deny your blues

You’ll cease to claim
Where you’re at fault
Won’t

Fall How Are You Dressed

Your are dressed up in cool nights and days,
Showing pretty colors always.

Sleepless moonlit nights

Early to bed, early to rise,
makes you healthy, wealthy and wise.
Followed the age old saying,
Can't figure out why I am still awake on this moonlit night.

Under a moonlit starry sky spreading its silvery covers,
I might fall asleep instantly embedded in its soothing spell,
The train of thoughts going through my mind,
Might stop to appreciate the beauty

Cosmic Nights

The whole Cosmos delights in night dreaming,
Where Sun and Moon entwine in astral projection.
The Cosmos listens to the sky's calling,
Knowing we're part of this great connection.

The forest presents green variety,
For which Moonlight holds great reverence.
Each tree and leaf beckons true piety
As Sunlight shows its high benevolence.

Have you ever felt the Blue Moon's grace,
Or lain beneath

Cashmere Nights

We cuddle close in cashmere sheets,?
Trading secrets, life’s sweet feats.?
You bring the funds, I bring the charm,?
Together, babe, we do no harm. 

Before you, nights were quiet, gray,?
Now love and warmth have come to stay.?
We count the dollars, laugh, and sigh… ?
It’s your kiss that changed my life, and why

Nights draw in

We harvest all we can
to last us through winter
Glance at the majestic moon
and make a wish with her

Magical things happen
as her rays beam down
a soft side of night
cuddles us close

Dreams come in quietly 
holding us nearer
We stop to reflect
on things gone by

The nights get shorter
the air carries a chill 
which we wrap up against
Now's the

May I return when nights come

May I return when nights come 
And off the furious outside mind
And lit beams inside of some kinds 
 
They sparkle calmness as seeds  sprout 
And shine as the moonlit torches the soul 
I am sure of these moments of aliveness 
As bright as the crystallized world of unseen

ln a sudden mode, hilarious could

Those nights had in the sun

The city held its hand out to you and you felt like you’d become.
The flashing lights, drinking and dancing nights is where your adulthood had begun.

The wayward walk and drunken fights where no logic had ever won.
Pride or is it sorrow now fills your mind, to see what you’ve become.

The years fly by and your

Starless Nights

Abandonment is
Vietnam veterans 
greeting card.

A door stepped baby.

Windowless 
city structures 
after resident's 
suburbanized.

And me 
a Christmas tree
after you undecorate.

Caribana Nights In Toronto

Women dressed in bright skimpy costumes 
streets drumming to the beat of the heat 
A blur of eccentric colors expound the air 
as we embrace the culture, the vibe...

Resilience, freedom, pride, nothing to hide
as we celebrate with rhythmic sound & gaiety 
There is a whisper of moonlight in the air 
that tastes up everything in

Carnival Nights

And the music played.
So glad we stayed.

Lights flashing so bright,
As day turns to night.
On the roller coaster- wind in your hair,
Games to win a plush bear.

They let the Ferris wheel stop,
Right when we were at the top.
Such a great view.
Falling in love with you.

And the music played.
So glad we stayed.

The ghost train where all the

When the arms weave white nights

when the arms weave white nights,

caressing your eyelids,

only dreams know how to come out dry from the rain,

like butterflies,

spreading their wings to stop the drops,

and the dew, humble servant

washes your feet with clover honey

to grow wings, melt the wax on the altar, and

plant basil in your chest,

let us float like the wind on swaying water

…and

Carnival Nights

There was a chill in the air that night, as the taste of spun cotton candy and stale popcorn floated through the breeze. Lifeless clouds hung in the sky, moving swiftly past an ever-broken moon. Remnants of rain clung to weeping blades of grass, as a shattered heart cracked under a ribcage in disbelief. The

W S Rendra translation of 'Hai Ma' or 'Hi Mom'

My English translation of "Hai Ma" by W. S. Rendra, a son to his mother and soulmate.

HAI MA ("HI MOM")
by W. S. Rendra
translation by Michael R. Burch

for Zeelhan Zahraa

Mom,
It's not death that disheartens my heart
but a lifeless life, a life unlived
because life loses its power and nature.
There are nights when I walk these corridors
with nowhere

Harvest Moon Nights

Sweet summer is kissing goodbye, 
embracing the harvest moon nights,
summer birds bid adieu and fly,
sweet summer is kissing goodbye, 
earth’s bosom heavy with a sigh,
tears of maple glow in moonlight,
sweet summer is kissing goodbye, 
embracing the harvest moon nights.
