Short Midnights Poems

Turn off  the dark nights,
To catch him up,
The Colombo thief,
Coming in the midnights,
Stealing our life!...

sunsets colour in his eyes
midnights cold in his path
his touch burns flesh
his stare cripples men
the world has fallen 
the grass is gone 
and kisses missed...

 sneaking away
just for one night
to be free from all the
chaos
and be surrounded by
midnight talks
midnight kisses
and the stars
that could not shine
half as brightly
as your soul ...

Midnight came like doomed fates
And your eyes refused to see 
into your self
What coulda been 
So broken was the flesh
Not even a scream ever dared thunder forth
from perfect lips
too busy in a war of kisses...

mid darkness blackest 
view embossed in brilliant depth
hued covenant light
~
caged environment
ruptures midnights fall surreal
dark bright light conceals

Carbonated popsicle prose
Oh it glows with fun
Sudsy taste bud delighted
Splashing wonder wheel
Frizzles on the fountain tongue

A message to the stomach it sends
Fuzzy feelings and warm midnights
A toasty surprise in the storm
Keep it close my friend...

woven into midnights braid
sunsets goodnight kiss charade
bowing low for curtain call
draped in heavens endless shawl
warmth exhaled in cooling rise
silent wings of butterflies
woven into midnights braid

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

Inside wrists of sweet perfume 
Middle notes of love's exhume 
Bollard neon lights ablaze 
Dreamy lovers lost in haze...

Thundering down Olympus
Treads Ares 
The battle master
Ashen 
Piceous clad
Against midnights cloak
Returning human spirit
To the heavens
For upon drowning
Within his crimson gaze
Do we understand
That in faith
Lies divinity



Note: In Greek mythology Ares is the God of War....

Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lamppost glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover’s Park

Soft oily rainbows slowly flowed
Beneath our feet as movement slowed
For naught but nature could intrude
Into this lover’s interlude...

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

Only starting or just begun 
Synchronous melding joined as one 
Rhythmic breathing no thought for pause 
Merged together, effect and cause...

I think it was because you noticed the things that weren’t very important.

My favorite movie, the brand of cigarettes I smoked.

You were observant

You made me feel as if the sun would rise again the next day, light would come, the warmth would spread across my face..

And that would be okay....

This black night, cast asleep
i've walked into midnights dream
Animal calls and talking trees
the sidewalk smiles with crooked teeth
A tired moon yawns while giants lay
A star littered sky is set ablaze
The soft wind wanders
like the astronomer
as it keeps me company
in a bright world sundered...

If in my work the big boss starts a fray,
	I shall not look the other way.
	In short, henceforth I’ll act as duty calls
	No matter where the big axe falls.
And for screams, midnights won't be extended,
	Relax now, overtime hours are ended!

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

Under an umbrella, they took shelter
As umbrellas went helter-skelter
Love laced their ambience
With this, there's no pretence

Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover’s Park

The fluid rhythms, realm of rain
Where lamplight’s stream did gild the lane
Wet leaves dripped dreams from tinseled trees
And pulses flowed like rolling seas...

Praying now or burning books
Its the same mistake, with 
different looks.
A drop of blood on a white sand 
beach,
Glistening ruby red down her 
cheeks.
Waves crash in to take the 
pain,
Only bringing midnights rain.
With showers of silver that roll 
off the clouds,
a future is lost, in the graying 
sounds...

It Happened On A Rainy Night

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

With ravenous beauty so wise
That love painted was no surprise
They with melded hearts therein chose
A mellow moon's glorious pose...

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night

‘Twas the splendour of their sweet kiss
That led to years of intense bliss
Gentle rainfall and lamppost glow
Enhanced the stellar, long ago...

Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover’s Park

The morning rose with glistening light
The rain dampened fire flamed its last firelight
Tender smiles opened eyes glowing as lovers do
As embers of passion lifted and flew...

you wore the flickering room
like a robe, its shadows fitting
to your skin like mist
we were the wolf 
and his lover the moon
we were claws and soft flesh
graveyards and midnights
and no matter how loud
outside witches were screaming
we made our own noises
danced our own waltzes 
to the howls and the hand's 
candlelight...
