Night begins to break Day meets it's fate The world begins to sleep Stars start to shine Crickets sing away Restless I've become  Thoughts bombard my brain Thoughts of then Thoughts of now  Thoughts of what's next No questions nor answers Merely depiction of life's journey Many days have come and gone Many days to come many to go A journey a quest a war a battle Where it ends nobody truly knows As for now I'll enjoy what...

A Night Tone She never comes where I am, I miss her if she does. In the darkness the clouds race. The moon makes for shadow. She never comes where I am, Would want her if I could. The winds cold, my hearts bare. And the night sets the tone. She never comes where I am, And I’ve searched most my life. She’s out there, she’s calling. I want to bring her home. She never comes where I am, Sitting alone, in the darkness, As col...

I hear your whispers,   One silent cold night. I find it hard to decipher, What you are whispering about.   The stars are scattered through out the sky Brimming light that is coming from the moonlight. I composed myself for your near arrival, You, my love, are truly ethereal.   Take me along with you, For right now I am feeling blue. I want to feel every inch of you, For me to know if you are really true.   Take me along...

The winding vines tighten around the heart fluttering, bird-like and fit to burst. Heady hours flicker like Kodachrome through the projector in my head. Over and over the film slides, sticking on those little moments, shared smiles, discreet glances, the ponderings of a mad man over the weight of the mug, the value of words, and a warm touch. Intricacies burn holes into my mind the color of your eyes, the chilling space i...

The skies are star-bright to the symphonies and I hurt. I ache, I've smeared my heart on the ground gladly that the world might see its streaks and judge them art. I hardly know what they are anymore. I touch, I feel, I feel like screaming, but is it enough? Is it ever enough? Things burn. I burn. I am ashes, the grit in my mouth a stain I cannot ignore. I love, beyond myself and my means. I wrap my heart around things ti...

It is time for bed Time to sleep once more I am not as scared to close my eyes As I was before Still I turn the lights down low No darkness for me Not anymore It is the price for caring and The things I have seen The hurt of others And their cries of pain  But in his arms So tightly and protective around me I can finally close my eyes  He keeps the dreams at bay As I close my eyes I am not scared to sleep I trust him to b...

In his hand I saw the gunBlack and shiny brightIt was a pistol, very smallIt gleamed from the street light The gun was pretty as it shonePretty, black and coldI heard as words were said to meAnd did as I was told I never saw his face at allThe gun drew in all lightI turned and heard a metal clickThen silence, in the night.

Arrange this night around me Its shadows and its lights Turn it into something Of which poets often write Add stars and gentle breezes That shimmer and that play And just a touch of magic To sweetly end the day.

You brush my hair  With gentle strokesSmoothed over by your handYou lift the locks up from my neckDivide it in three strandsThen braid it loosely down my backA dark and shiny plaitYou kiss my shoulder tenderlyAs we anticipateI turn around to see your faceThe words can be unsaidYou take my handAs if to danceAnd lead me to the bed.

Purple clouds hang against a burgeoning blue Brightening scene backdrops black trees on the horizon Darkness again giving way to light brand new Spirits of night... spell soon will be broken Flickering stars once more bidding their final adieu Chilly night air biting at my cheeks Smokey haze rises from the neighbours' flue Fresh melodies shortly will float through the sky Pink quickly replaces purple against the blue Prom...

Night once more giving way. Brightening sky promises a new day. Stiff breezes blow clouds across the moon. Tree branches bend, dance and swoon. Playing melodies as they swoosh and sway. Silence broken by early birds at play. Singing praise with each chirp and note. Songs each has learned and know by rote. Sounds of morning taking over from night. Soon sunshine will be shining bright. Beautiful sailor's sky now on display....

where is he?my friend, my lover.my hypnos, my somnus.my nocturnal friend,who always came at night,and left at dawn like a vampire.every night I opened myself to him,and without fail he always came.I never had to go searching.I never had to shout out his name,he always came.telepathy at work perhaps?there were nights he came,like a thief in the night.and there were days,he knocked at the door to myself.the door I always ke...

Dead silence ringing in my ears Alone outside in the dark of night A coyote's howl from nowhere appears My mind not filled with any fright Then a call from an owl I hear Awaiting arrival of morning's light Nothing in the dark this old man fears Droplet from an icicle taking flight Falling to the ground where it smears Dancing creek sounds bring such delight Song resonates on the breeze then disappears Filled with joy at t...

The night that I was by the sea,I heard the sea speak to me. The night that I sat by the waves Watching the moon rise red, The night that the waters were splashing Making me listen to them, The night that sea tried to wake me Washing away my impurity, The night that I witnessed so red Calling me to rise after sunset The night that had the half moon Rising from the sea deep dark, The night that red caressed me, The waves s...
