Nights Poems - Poems about Nights

I recount the nights of faint, distant glows — the dimmed party lights of summer — of silenced streaks of fleeing light, tassels of clouds adorned in fleeting whites, on the broad balcony of the west, when the incidents on the large vestibule of the sun sum up their lives and times on seasons’ palimpsests. The wild party closes by the stretch...

Charles and my predawn jog was a sweat-athon and as the sun rose, a heat-dome brightness tattooed crisp shadows in every corner. Any lingering coolness was burned off - evaporated. It was 94°f, 3 hours later, when I walked to campus - why don’t we use parasols anymore? Drag on, radiant afternoon heat, please. That was...

Under the dome of nights shining like a sea of falling stars, The fruits of summer pour out their fragrant burden in a waltz of dreams, The aroma of encounters with you, my love, like an elixir of hidden gods, Intoxicates my senses and carries me on wings of time and longing. Your body, a sanctuary of summer, sculpted...

You and I have been friends for many moons You and I have played together countless afternoons Not to mention many mornings and many nights. Since today is your birthday, I want to send you: kaleidoscopic lights Multiple dancing rainbows of heaven, exotic flowers And warm hugs and I’ll blow fresh new kisses from afar to your ears. I called you...

Slept throughout the day, Feels like I’ve slept through my life. Wide awake I lay— It’s just that kind of night. I've become a spectator of my own life, Not a wink, even though I’ve turned off the light. Switching postures, counting sheep, Tried every last bit— I guess...

Dawn crosses itself through my latenight dreams The bruised fingers of the skies, me awakening. Where light was spotted before the start This gray uncoils from my fist, squeezed with my heart. Now the breakdown of once shut eyes strain Dawn is called true daybreak — With another outward far off shine She's only ghost according to clockwork time Morning on glass...

City Nights Bright lights City Nights Neon glow Walk alone Pondering sound Soprano noise all around Vast array Emerge uncertainty Walk among the night dwellers A coffee shop around the corner Small social life Time out to breathe Divided in time Take it easy beneath In the city, trains passing by Old friends just...

You, guiding light of my nights filled with silent and unclear thoughts, How can I lay on paper your living essence that ignites my heart and mind? When did you become the muse of my dreams from the shadow of slowly passing time? I am awestruck by this light that grows within me like a profound revelation. You were...

Late-night talks have always been the best. The love I have for you is priceless. I don’t want anyone but you; you have to be mine. I need those late-night conversations. I want to feel reconnected with you and ensure that this love will last forever. I need to know if this love is permanent....

was the whiskey and the jazz playing On too many black nights with too Many lonely women and not a poem Between them How many times can you run From the shadow of the voices that Surround you Beating like drums in the darkness Tasting more of your flesh each time Not leaving enough for a man to breathe No way for a man to...
