night is a sheet of black metal
with sprinkles of glitter
and star shaped strikes
from the hammer moon

night is cold like the glass
on a winter window
when it sticks to the skin
like a warm eraser

night is a coat, no buttons on it
drenching wet,
with built in wind
the never dry kind

night is a bottle, empty hollow  
vapors burned for light
when the blind man searched
for love

night is a rider on iron horse
clatter of steel on tin roads
and metal buildings
reflecting sounds

the deaf play drums when night pounds

The night sleeps silent
behind curtain eyes
while the strum shore
beats out
new thoughts
leaking
from sandman's pocket
We never want to hum them out loud
but scream them into lights


I know this write..brilliant descriptions Dark. Long nights. Morning hugs..

Sincerely,
Reg

DS

night is cotton fog
stuffing corners and cracks
with muted train whistles.

Love this poem!

WOW!!! Oh my gosh, I love this vision, sweet friend, though I don't necessarily believe in horoscopes I am admired by the stories told in the stars and I too always imagine Orion hunting in the night in a black cape, sweet friend, this is an excellent portrayal of eve, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
