Night Enters With Curious Feet

With curious feet the night enters with beauty in her eager eyes
As love speaks to the ocean of hearts, she has touched
The moon glides by quietly before the eyes of men
And I can see your face held by the fingers
Of my hope, once again

In the eyes of peaceful angels with shining hair of molten gold
I can see those shores of all great happiness and joy
Held by a loyal hand, proclaiming there is love
And such a sweet delight rains down
To my heart, from above

I stand here within the comfort of my silken thoughts of you
While such unmatchable tenderness appears in place
Speaks to me of memories I can always find
While breathing in night’s sheer beauty
With my own heart in kind

I see your face, if only for a moment, as the other half of me
As I lay here watching night enter with curious feet
Love sweetly touches my heart in a rush
Tells me to close my tired eyes
Sleep, dear one, shush

Always a lover Neva! Your eyes have the most honest and profound incite on all that truely matters, love and life. I read your poetry and feel like I'm exerpincing a love from a past life. Your work always seems so real to me; I've experienced it all.

she looks slowly at the raged sky, sees a star glistens in fear

defying the clouds, floating in aimless directions

"if life was too pointless, wouldn't it just vanish into thin air?"

she screams aloud as the sadness hears

puts off her silence-dress and runs naked searching for the gleam

May this night be the start to chase her next dream...

Beautiful!

Very nice. It makes me yearn for the one I love the most.

This particular poem gives me hope. Reassurance that love is near or is real and not to be afraid. It also makes me feel like I can believe that someone looking over me. I find this poem to be comfort. nicely written. I truly loved where it took me.
