Nocturne Poems - Poems about Nocturne

Nocturne of Wounds
A pallid night, a void's umbral reign, Emptiness, a phantom, claimed the lane. A dirge of noir, a melancholic strain, Echoes, sepulchral, whispered in the rain. The phantasmal memory, a haunting pain, The keloid scars, where shadows still remain. A thunderous hush, a silence stark and deep, The vise of anguish, where dark tendrils creep. A preternatural dread, secrets to keep, The cerulean sky,...

Time won’t stop until I drop In my bed again Meet me at the staircase top Lend a helping hand I can’t stay for long, you know Time is running fast I just came to say hello Lost for words, at last In this place there's lack of space Sitting on the bed I can’t see your smiling face Snow falls in my head Melting down far...

Premium Member A Nocturne In Verse
In twilight's silhouette I rock my mind to sleep An effort to release me to a slumber so deep The mystique of dreams unfolds in the night A canvas peacefully painted in the faint moonlight Far-reaching sensations in a hypnotic trance Settle into serenity after light’s last glance Counting grains of white sand as time in retreat Next to sweeping fields...

Premium Member Harlem Nocturne
In the heart of Harlem's nocturnal embrace, where the moon's silver threads interlace. Streetlamps hum a jazz-filled tune, underneath the city's ebony dune. Brownstone whispers, history untold, in the rhythm of the Harlem night's hold. A symphony of footsteps on cobblestone, each echo a tale, each shadow, a home. Saxophone solos from an open window, melodies that the city's heart knows. Dancing notes in the...

Premium Member Summers Ending Nocturne
Over the pond’s lilies’ leaves, morning dew settles glistening sleeves — a covering to compliment the green, a translucent, hint-of-blue ~ from a quivering mist hanging, hushing everything, so all the doing of sunrise dances must in-stasis remain… ~ or transfer by essence to the understanding intuiting within — to find birds preen, not taking wing; and trees upswing drying branches, delighted...

Nocturne
She spoke of her love for him to say how she wished him to be her husband "Nocturne" the romantic word. Spoke sweetly against his lips her kisses made him see those days ahead a love affair to speak of through the ages. When the music shilvered the timbers and the percussions moved to the rhythmn the need of harmony entasngles them to embrace as kisses sweetened their lips. the need to love. a sweet...

Premium Member Glimmering Nocturne
Orb of light in night flight, specter aglow in onyx gown, upon shimmering, icy-laden trees, branches encapsulated winter’s freeze. Indigo blanket ringed in haze of the moon’s controlling gaze. As the hares do romp and play, amid the snow-capped winter days, to dine on twigs and frozen buds and unto dens full bellies run, to huddle down as days be done; ‘neath ground of grass and...

Nocturne Megahertz
The Poetry Channel when open, its wavelength sharp and clear Searching for me as it calls for my voice, in moments dark but dear The Poetry Channel if distant, remote, streaming above my thoughts Transmitting in silence, antenna to blame, whose frequency I’ve sought The Poetry Channel with static tuned out, its bandwidth framed in gold Quiet by day, amplifying at night —to broadcast...

Premium Member A Nocturne For Our Medical Heroes
A NOCTURNE FOR OUR MEDICAL HEROES Literature is filled With narratives of Individual and collective Acts of heroism. The shining armor Of righteous knights, The Robin Hoods’ Of world history, Bandolier draped chests, Fighting a heartless World that preys Upon the powerless Trapped in poverty. We search the horizon For visions of soldiers Bravely raising a flag On an embattled hill. We seek for leadership In an absentee government, To find only a vapid vacuum Of...

I fall asleep in a world of wintry awe! This is magical peace, I do proclaim. This is my moment of ulimate serenity, A duo,bound~ such a loving...
