In silent night's shade
all tidal carry vanish
lost in black oceans...

Listen to poem:

The moon was high, the wind did cry
As shadows danced in flight,
She wandered far beneath the sky
On that cold autumn night....

cryptic cicada
nocturne of tymbals thrumming
cicatrix in brain

dead silence of night
my last breath in abeyance
for cicada song...

Goblins and ghouls, we are.
Behind the paint,
Beneath the scars.
We tread the night, 
Nocturne calls.
So fright the stars, we must.
For an ode to monsters,
A worthy trust....

Placid night
Surrounding me
Let me feel
The warm wind blow
Caressing me;
I want to feel
To remember
Like in a dream
The sweet breathing
Of Ornella
While kisses me.

The rhapsody
   Sonata of the heavens
      In the woodwinds of dusk
         Are the cherubic voices
Underneath a harvest moon
   The songs of passion
      Sweetly painting
         The nocturne...

Between tulips
A pink snake
And
A metaphor

Blue lies
A furrowed brow
And 
A promise

Beloved
A red romance
And
A sacrifice

Broken fears
A final nocturne
And
A silence
...

in stillness of dusk
tawny owl is heard hooting ~
a forest nocturne

Drunk at
midnight, playing with 
    moon squibs.

       *

    Hearing-	
a nocturne,the spirit soars,
    when you are drowned.	

       *

    A galaxy 
invites me for a night vigil.
    Some elixir will rain.

*nocturne eye flicker*
*bite lip*
*rip asunder*

Malediction of a tragedy fused elegy,
mirror of red rum and visage of chaos.

The truth is a labyrinth of mirrors,
I am the reflection that stares back,
real you tryst behind quicksilver....

1:  A bad dream will protrude in the new light
And the first conscious breathe will lapse,
Until the warm air of morning kills the night.

The dark images now simmer but not burn.
And the chaser and the tormentor must wait,
Until the moon composes the next nocturne....

Rain fill this grave
soften bones that have been so brave;
your heart will hear my chord so simple
bloom an echo sweet and gentle;
to grow as life between the grass
guiding the sun and moon to pass;
listen for my voice is soft and light
a lingering nocturne in the night....

Idle nests linger
Fledgling feathers learn to fly
Angry winds scowl


The old bell shivers
Its tone muted in the cold
A fox perks its ears


A lost mitten weeps 
What am I going to be
A field mouse moves in


An icy moon
A symphony of shadows
Nature’s nocturne
...

On this chilled Winter night
nightingales sing an idyllic song,
their nocturne floats upon the wind.
Wolves join with a haunting chorus
as the moon reaches its zenith…
a melancholy moment for me.

At night-times like this
I use to put my finger on
the artery of silence
and listen to the cracks 
between words and the unspoken,
for the blood drops are its pauses
speaking in the tongue 
of slumbering stones,
keep on chanting 
a song with a beck:
"live on love, live on love."...

An altering life
a differing hell
Where the dancefloor is burning
Where the guests are unwell

Where the dancer's eyes burn
seared to the core
But not a single sound echoes
From on the dancefloor

Far from our world
another does burn
The slow scorching dance
The ballroom nocturne...

Heavenly

A day is done.
Nocturne has come.
Heavenly night so caressing and quiet,
can hide pain in the shadows 
and sing dreams till dawn
believing nothing’s wrong
while the star-studded sky sleeps,
cloaking the lonely ones who weep on
graceful tear stained pillows

Mystical Music

magic melody
musical movement meters
measure memories


Notes

nocturne novel
new notations not noticed
no noises nothing

Opus

overpowering
open oracle outcry
odorously odd
