Oh what an angelical sight

Scantily clad vision in white

Oh blessed nocturnal delight

Nocturnal heart walks with wine.
Moon-lit soul succumbs to "red".
Pure cherry lip-stick kisses.
Sweet love-tainted taste.

scum-covered pond hums ere sleep

Thick Head

The thick head,
and the dead soul,
speak same language;
that humans do not understand.
they walk same streets,
and both are nocturnal.

Night’s restless rodent,

                                    I just nod off all day long.

                                           I am nocturnal.

O Poor Me

a nocturnal art escapist.
dreamer of dreams.
the sad clown.

tragedy belongs to all.
anecdote, to some.
antidote. to none.
cry a sad tear clown,
cry.

Star’s nocturnal flow,

                                  Star’s thrust gusting spellwork,

A nocturnal wolfhound in Crater Lake
has his fun when no one’s awake
Every night he prowls
greeting raccoons and owls
Then sleeps until lunch with no break

Premium Member Frost

Nocturnal temps brought heavy frost,
An artist's masterpiece in appearance;
But presently this ocular effect is lost,
For Sunrise always prevents adherence.

Hoot owl
Distinct owl voice
Echoes favorably
Nocturnal and mysterious
So unexpectedly forest friendly
Hidden away, a dark shadow
Unique who sound

An owl does not need to see its prey
He can hear a mouse six miles away
He dives through the night air with talons down
Nocturnal eater, the best hunter in town

Moon mounts up high, 
passion bird sings soft. 
Stringed love and pain tunes tie
in heart’s nocturnal niche. 
Darkness echoes thrill
through silver sky.

Premium Member Nocturnal Apparitions

candles weave a hologram create an apparition in an empty dark dark empty room the night going gone gone like a ghost

Fireflies

Luminous creatures, 
Nocturnal beings take their flight,
They move randomly,
Light hover around the space,
Bushes and lawns their fun fare.

Premium Member Nanoseconds of Dusk

Nominal names carved on our tree.
Bird’s world etched in nocturnal bliss.
Naivety in nanoseconds of dusk.
Bee’s nascent love - an innocent kiss.

Nightlife

As the moon wafts a brilliant smile
Stars wink in reaction for miles
Gently night tucks in

Darkness settles in with silence
Nocturnal beings residence
Till sunrise ascends

Premium Member Whistling Crescendo



From the hued thicket of dawn 
flies the musical bird
in the sunburst sky, 
on the rhythm of its own song,
the whistling crescendo
of the nocturnal nightingale.

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
