Midnight Prayer

Sometimes I close my eyes

and this feeling inside me rises

and this vision of crows taking flight 

explodes on the back of my eyelids. 

What will happen to the love poets

when moonlight loses its glow?

I promise that I'll remember you 

even as time forgets us both.

The coldest days of the year

came early and life is a struggle,

the crows that were left behind 

are barely making it through

the bitter, biting cold.

But I'm surviving on thoughts of you.

I say my prayers at midnight

and God tells me to never let you go.

Hey Coyote! Thanks for stopping by!

You are welcome my friend.

[Everett DeValle]

Gosh, so deep...lines deep in thought...the endings ties everything together...it is personal faith...and never letting go of that devotion...nicely done, Mike. :)

Very good, although not quite my cup of tea. I'd really like to see you craft some darker poems. Not necessarily violent but psychologically dark or in the Gothic Mode. You might be good at it. Then again most of my writing is dark.

They say that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." But crows can be bad omens. Here's hoping that it doesn't get too cold.

"I promise that I'll remember you

They say simplicity is next to godliness.
An your poetry is an expression of that..

I can point out so many lines in this piece that are true to this testament.

Keep writing because you're an inspiration...

[Michael X]

Wow, thank you my friend, I appreciate your poetic insight that means so much to me!

[Tony Jordan]

Your poet's soul is writing prayers to the Poet Gods. Amen to that brother.

I think the times when poets and such-like were thin on the ground were collectively known as 'the dark ages' - let's pray we never go back to those times Michael.

I like that alot tony! Thank for the cool comment!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

those crows...reminds me of Hitchcock's
"the birds"

the scariest part is not knowing what is going to happen...it is the impending...and yet when the crows are gone...if we have survived, it is because of love...we have kept our wits and hearts about us...and survived.

love can help us do that.
