The Nocturnal Lady

For everyone

The spring air tickles with summer warmth
Stars gleams with a brilliance that enthralls
Their illumination shines brightly
As it engages the curious mind

Charcoal sky void of feathered clouds
Enhanced by a glorious full moon
That showers across the glittering night
With fingers of light stretched out gently

The Nocturnal Lady dressed in silk
As she beckons the sun to slumber
While she twirls her hues of purple inspire
The imagination fully captured

She tucks the sun catchers into bed
As her elegance expands the horizon
She whispers to her children that stir
As they rouse from their daylight dreaming

A stillness enhances these satin hours
As a vast muted tune plays softly
It lures the mind with downy soft peace
For nature’s brightness has been dimmed

The vibrations, a tone of a tiger’s purr
Low and rhythmic with a constant sound
That soothes the scattered chaos of earth
As serenity settles all beings

The Onyx Lady bows gracefully
As her shadows spread upon the ground
Her hidden treasures covered in the dark
Their secrets kept behind shimmering veil.

dear Beauty… a tone of a Tiger’s Purr has
Me in a Rapture. I am a Nocturnal Lady as I often walk around our Top Observatory Floor and observe the Moon and Stars… … this poem is a Keeper for me and gives me Hope for Eternity. Blessings… Pat

I’m glad you liked the tiger’s purr and the description of Lady Night herself

Oh the beauty of the night...when all dims and then emerges the other, mystical side of nature. Softly glowing, full of strange noises, exotic creatures. The way you wrote it, set my imagination alight. I've rarely seen the dark hours described in a more beautiful and eloquent way. You did wonders here, dear Poetic Beauty!

"A stillness enhances these satin hours

For me the late night hours are graceful and serene. The nocturnal creatures with all their wonder emerge and chaos of the daylight hours have stilled and become a hypnotic quiet humm.

Enjoy your imagery, nicely done. Makes want to say pardon the pun, nocturnally yours!

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed the imagery of Lady Night and all her grace and secret keeping.

Secrets kept...the moon tries to uncover them, but with no luck.
The day comes, the sun shines and uncovers...but by then...the secrets are gone.
Nicely done.
I always enjoy all of your stark imagery.

I’m glad you like the imagery I paint within my poems.

As we all know those wee hours of the morning are my favorites and I see so much beauty and grace in those peace filled hours. The Nocturnal Lady is good at shrouding secrets of all kinds.

Dear PB, your words are magical and musical, and your Nocturnal Lady is a powerful, feminine force of Nature. Each verse is filled with exquisite imagery and metaphor. The cadence and rhythm of each line is true “purr”-fection. The Lady is magical as is your artistry here. Kudos on a great write!

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad you enjoyed walking in Lady’s Nights realm in this poem. There is something special about night time especially between the hour of 10pm and 3 am

Very true, especially those hours. Powerful times 1-3am

[Jibey]

I like the shimmering secrets of her silk cladding... with the vibrations in there again lol
'Onyx lady'... the image grabbed me.... hard but beautiful.. a moonlight sonata

[Poetic Beauty]

I think many people probably perceive the night as hard, and scary but for me the night time is quiet, serene and peaceful. It’s shrouded in shadows and mystery
