Sweet Dream of the Heart

Deep sleep had woken
the throb from the state of rest
in the dark of night.
He loved her with both eyes closed;
he saw no one when he rose.

In the dark of night all alone
Steps behind will chill to the bone
When hair stands on end
No need to pretend
The coroner calls that, "Frisson"

in search of a place none have seen.

Premium Member The Dark of Night Intensifies

The dark of night intensifies 
People’s frights

The dawn of light illuminates 
People’s sights

The twilight of vesper lights
Divides the wrong from the right

Beauty of Winter

Wintertime is on its way

much to my delight

soon snow will throw its blanket down

so that even in the dark of night

The roofs and trees are glistening white.

Bringing gladness to her aura 
From morning till the dark of night.

Premium Member Firefly

Fly, little lightning bug
Flurry in marsh and field
Flash your flame at twilight
Flirt in the dark of night
Find yourself a new mate
Fascinating glowworm
Flourish in great numbers

Wrapped Up

Scream out my name in the dark of night,
as winds of passion blow across.
Darkness becomes our blanket
so we wrap ourselves up,
allowing comfort
in sensual
moments of
our found
love.

Oh, little eyes turned up to skies as the dark of night descends;
where fireflies glow in disguise and starlight dreams extend;
such sweet surprise is a great prize as innocence transcends.

STERN



Bare that stern solemn face
When things seem to go right
Struggle to feel clear grace
In the deep dark of night

A Missouri Spring

In the dark of night,
jolted from my bed,
with a thousand thoughts,
racing through my head.

What a dreadful sound,
those loud sirens bring,
welcome to one more,
warm Missouri spring.

Neither Daybreak Nor Dawn

N-either daybreak nor dawn 
E-ndorses dark of night; 
C-old chill of the evening 
Y-ields to the morning light.

Premium Member Vanished

my mind wanders 
in the dark of night
the silence thick as glue
i had hopes of you
i had dreams of us
all that's in the past
vanished with the moon
and the ghost of you

Restless

I close my eyes and try to sleep
I hope it will be sound and deep
But here I am still wide awake
First dark of night and then daybreak
I've tried so hard to get some rest
So I can rise and do my very best
Form: Rhyme

Eyes That Blink

Eyes that blink and flash so bright
Can see whats there at dark of night
Eyes that catch life in a flash
A families love or waters splash
When all has changed or gone away
Leaves what will forever stay

Lighthouse

From lighthouse to lighthouse,
Guided by beacons of light,
Looking for warmth and comfort,
In the dark of night.
When all turns quiet,
You sail once again,
Leaving behind calm waters,
For those you cannot tame.

Hobbit Land

Pale shape
     Down path does run
Seeking something
     Not here found
Dark of night
     Hides the flight
Of the run
     In moon light
Seeking to find
     What is not here
Pale shape
     Down path does run

Premium Member Come My Love



Oh, come in the dark of night,
   come in the silence of a dream,
come with sweet kisses that delight,
   flow down to me on a moon beam,
      come my love to dry my tears,
for I have wept for years and years.
