APRIL 24 POEM A DAY CHALLENGE (GOOD NIGHT)

4-24-2001
For today's prompt, write an evening poem. My initial thought is that this poem would somehow involve the night, but upon further reflection, I guess it could be about evening things up or something.

Good Night

Springs' night air whispers your scent
Enticing my longing to touch you

On the back porch, you sit across from me
Behind you the orange and red of sunset
Plays with the light on your hair.

As the sunset passes into dusk
I whisper "Good Night"
To the sun's last ray of day


You smile
The evening’s darkness exhales
You are with me
And I am safe in your presence.

APRIL 24, 2010 THIRD RESPONSE (NIGHT LIGHT)

Night Light

Night light,
Night light:
Sit quietly within my sight.
Never knowing of the sun's plight
Having always to fight,
With the clouds’ and rains’ flight.

Seeing night light
Night light,
Always seeing of my plight,
Searching for the quiet is my fight.

For silence is the night,
And with a night light,

I am forced to write!

APRIL 24, 2010 2nd response (INKY NIGHTS)

Inky nights

I've danced on Mt Siani
under the ink black night
cursing the dawn,
and fearing being alone
for I am not the true
Sunlight
Just an illusion
A spirit in flight
Romancing my passion
And dancing with pen
for all I have are memories
Of the last dance
In the inky night
Dancing in my mind
Of Mt Siani
And you
