Starless Poems - Poems about Starless

Starless Nights

Abandonment is
Vietnam veterans 
greeting card.

A door stepped baby.

Windowless 
city structures 
after resident's 
suburbanized.

And me 
a Christmas tree
after you undecorate.

Starless Promise

How can I try for the stars,
When I can't even afford to keep it bright?
How can I chase the moon through iron bars,
When dawn denies me even candlelight?

I dream of rings, of veils, of vows once said,
Yet pockets echo where gold ought to gleam.
The future sleeps on floors I’ve barely tread,
My hands still building scaffolds

On a starless night, when the moon cannot find its mirror

On a starless night, when the moon cannot find its mirror,
A wandering soul wonders why we are so alone,
Not in the silence of a home, but in the constant noise of misunderstanding,
When words collide in the air and fail to settle,
Like snowflakes that melt before they touch the ground.
Humanity, a sea of souls searching, losing,

Starless

They called her Cookie at Animal Welfare, she had a white body with one black ear and a black spot on her upper butt. She had a friendly face and was 
pretty girl. Could not divide up the cute beagles they looked very close, having
two dogs only allowed three in town. Beautiful blue puppy they

On a starless night, when the sky retreated like an old cloak

On a starless night, when the sky retreated like an old cloak,
I found myself floating on the river of melancholy,
memories intertwined in the fabric of a dream,
a fabric woven by unseen hands,
where the steps of those who climb the mountains of success
are steps of shadows, shadows dancing at the fire of illusions,
hiding their faces under

starless nights

no night light needed 
even the moon shuts her eyes 
to enjoy darkness

starless nights

ocean and sky blend together 
painting the canvas with waves 
and clouds forgetting stars

Starless Sea

The moon could
devour 
a sea full of stars
forever

Starless Night

Moon missing the stars tonight
                 Left alone in darkest night
             In the air that wears with fright
        Shape molded like

Starless Night

darkness descends on
                             mountains, fireflies glitter, glow
                    

Starless Skies

in the absence of stars
i am reminded
of my aloneness

as i stand 
on the edge 
of my dreams

it's in the silence
of these darkest nights
that i hear your whispers
falling softly around me

i curl myself
within the comfort
found within thoughts

as i drift
to sleep
once more 


(trying to get my muse off the virus... with better thoughts)

Starless Night

i walk alone
the echo of footsteps
tapping back
to the beat of rain
as it falls pooled
with my tears

no stars 
to catch my wishes
this darkened night
just flashes of light
beyond the hills
that tremble
with the roar
of thunder

i stop
at garden's edge
a lavender rose
beneath the bramble
struggles, petals closed
it hangs in the bleakness
as alone as i

no stars to wish upon
i walk, rose in

Empty Stall, Quiet Barn, Starless Night, Buried Horse

I'm here tonight
to stand in the ache.
The ache of hollow,
the empty of the not 
simply empty; rather,
the empty of the
recently full.

The silent ache of
missingness, of quiet.
Before the ghosts have
risen, before the
memorial stones are 
set.  Before the cards arrive.
Before the flowers
are vased to wilt.

I'm here tonight
to stand in the ache.
Of what so recently had
been.
Of who

Starless Night

hope
misplaced,

dark day dawns
tick-tock,  tick-tock
date confirmed by lot

thirteenth day of twelfth month

revenge builds its own gallows
three-day night of anguished fasting
queen's hope rests upon her monarch's orb

Jews' annihilation - signed but not sealed

Starless Sky

you look upon the sky and seen a starless sky. 
why does it feel so lonely within one room? 
why does everything have to end in some point?
the moon looks lonely, as you sit. 
you think to yourself. .
i am a moon in a starless sky..
where is my shinning star?
where...
where am i to be found?
