Midnight Skies <br /> <br />The sun enveloped in a black shroud <br />The dead of night hardly makes a sound <br />Hopeless with silent cry's of the midnight sky <br /> <br />The reproach of lost souls <br />Dark and misty the clouds just an outline <br />Of the glare of your eyes tonight <br /> <br />Vague twinkling stars in the dusty moonshine <br />An eager bright star showing its position <br />Or else be lost in the misty cauldron <br /> <br />Passionless grief of despair with no one who cares <br />Lost in the wind One knows to never cross <br />The roads at night on foot <br /> <br />The hooting of the night owls crying out <br />To the lighted moon distant frogs croak in shining <br />black pools a lonely dog howls <br /> <br />A thud a bump a scrape on glass to get away <br />From what is hunting with anguish grief for you and I <br />Is that foot steps I hear on the stone path <br /> <br />Those creaking roof timbers <br />Sure gives one the shivers cold winds silent stars <br />Of the midnight skies a time for quiet reflection deep <br />thought and introspection <br /> <br />The conscience magnified something hurtful said <br />Rash actions and regret a sad love song that taken <br />the heart deeper in with more <br /> <br />Pain with glaring eyes like you want to die <br />Sleep comes after midnight with so much on your mind <br />Respite for the weary intellect <br /> <br />Until the great yellow hope rises in the sky <br />Spreading its cheerful warm ray heralding a promising <br />new day hopeless and grief moved on with the midnight <br />skies a Lovers songs of a nasty goodbye's <br /> <br />Passionless incredulous despair half taught anguish <br />Midnight air another day and another night moved on why <br />your heart still hangs on to what was and not to what is. <br /> <br />Lilly Emery<br /><br />Poetic Lilly Emery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/midnight-skies/
