Nocturnal Poems

NOCTURNAL NATURE

Pensively promended I, as impetuous as a poet
To accumulate few jocund inkling on dusk

For sure, not as a bard
But,as a novice to nature

Stalked I, bare-footed anigh lake
Jabbed some spines beneath my foot

Yon reconnoitred I, do any luminuous light clandestined in water?
Else, any celestial gem floats  in lake?

Nay! it's the waxing moon in the sky
That

TOUCH OF NOCTURNAL VELVET

A cascade, shimmering, of rivulets that undulate,
Metaphor thalassic, richly blending at the pate.
Each silhouette of vitality, speaking with gentle weight,
On shoulders resting, an adornment, delicate.

Where inky depths meet sun-kissed golden thread,
Fair skin and russet lips, a harmony well-bred.
On sloping lids, where emerald hues are spread,
Completing thus, a visage subtly, richly said.

Every filament, a void of

Premium MemberNocturnal Owl


An old owl
Wise and content
Sits motionless
On a crooked tree
Bent

Gathering wisdom
Searching low
Setting sail upon the wind
Soaring below

A shadowed silhouette 
Mysterious 
And free
Greets the silent night
In a nocturnal dream

Harsh clamor gives way to bright ethereal sounds
Night's gothic shadows shift to warm golden bliss
A sense of a pending sweet tryst abounds
As love clings to love in this nocturnal kiss

Premium MemberNocturnal Life

Trees slowly dance in the warm gentle wind.
Sighing, the breath of the sun bids goodnight again.

Promises of change echo in nature's heraldic beauty.
Gia calms the restless life to rest as it sleeps comfortably.

Longing shadows of the night stir an ancient whispering song.
Night’s life awakens with a magical call knowing it belongs.

Dead life is slowly claimed

Premium MemberIn the deep mystery of the night, when the nocturnal light becomes a taciturn witness

In the deep mystery of the night, when the nocturnal light becomes a taciturn witness,
I feel that our nature pushes us to swing between extremes,
The stronger the inner fire, the greater the leap.
Perhaps it is so human to do this, as we are created to move and change.
Because, as far as I know, stagnation means

Premium Memberwhat common house pet is nocturnal

What common house pet is nocturnal?
My king cobra? You guess.
Is that a COMMON house pet?
It is common at my house.

Maybe my cat? Another pet-owner ventures to guess.
In truth both dogs and cats are natural nocturnal beings.
However, dog has learned to adapt to his master’s schedule.
Choosing to sleep when he sleeps.

Cat prowls off doing her own

Premium MemberRhythms of the Night

The rhythms of the night
Sounds of a dark symphony
A mysterious cacophony
Sends chill up and down the spine
Shadows chase the light of a full moon
Across meadow and forest green
No stranger to nocturnal life
Where life plays it’s game of opportune

The voices of the night 
Many and strange they may be
As the majestic screech owl in flight
And the

Premium MemberBeneath the stretched-out, nocturnal firmament, thoughts overwhelm my being

Beneath the stretched-out, nocturnal firmament, thoughts overwhelm my being,
Questions unassuaged by answers, echo of the void,
About forests of the future, trees with waiting roots,
About children from untold dreams, with smiles that cannot be found.
Those books with pages lamenting for the ink's caress,
How they remain closed in the drawers of oblivion, begun and never finished,
Phantoms of

NOCTURNAL PAIN

Oh, I never intended to bring forth sorrow,
Never meant to inflict a pang, a borrow.
A single moment, a glimpse of delight,
Yearned to witness you in laughter's light.
In the hues of nocturnal pain, a symphony so grand,
Nocturnal pain, nocturnal pain like nature's own command.
A sole desire, to see you with joy's refrain,
Laughing, dancing in the purple
