As dreamers count starless skies
Questioning lovers alibies,
Shedding silent testimonies of bitterness----
Wondering what wasn't enough.

In this stillness they sit,
Stewing in regret.
Poets bleed ballads onto paper napkins,
Begging for sleep-----
Passing time until forever steps in.

Then, midnight dust encroaches all,
As dreamers dreams begin to slip
Sinking deep within the ground,
Seeds of desperation take root-----
Stupifying strainds of intelligent thought.

In this darkness they throw fits,
Musing over what could have been.
Slack jawed Casanovas write music,
Singing lyrics sweet----
Stinging ladies ears.

With the approach of dawn,
Those cursed awake
Accept their fate-----
Resolving themselves to lonliness,
But not sadness.

For morning light brings truth
That sometimes we must wait,
Having faith that our words will be recognized----
Soulmates taking hands,
Enticing dreamers to dance with them
While damning the chill of the night air;
Walking hand in hand into the dawn. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 137 [topic] => 2 [informant] => JakerBaker88 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Night Air

Evening air hangs thick,
As dreamers count starless skies
Questioning lovers alibies,
Shedding silent testimonies of bitterness----
Wondering what wasn't enough.

In this stillness they sit,
Stewing in regret.
Poets bleed ballads onto paper napkins,
Begging for sleep-----
Passing time until forever steps in.

Then, midnight dust encroaches all,
As dreamers dreams begin to slip
Sinking deep within the ground,
Seeds of desperation take root-----
Stupifying strainds of intelligent thought.

In this darkness they throw fits,
Musing over what could have been.
Slack jawed Casanovas write music,
Singing lyrics sweet----
Stinging ladies ears.

With the approach of dawn,
Those cursed awake
Accept their fate-----
Resolving themselves to lonliness,
But not sadness.

For morning light brings truth
That sometimes we must wait,
Having faith that our words will be recognized----
Soulmates taking hands,
Enticing dreamers to dance with them
While damning the chill of the night air;
Walking hand in hand into the dawn.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
