Midnight Moment
~~~
The center of dark
Light lies far afield
Either direction
Fatal fates are sealed
Midnight leaves its mark
~~~
Beautiful twilight
As with coming dawn
Not in reflection
The curtains are drawn
For this is the night
~~~
The middle of black
An unlit moment
Ebony perfection
The evil latent
Stars take the sky back
~~~
Twelve chimes ghostly bell
Time points to the sky
Without detection
Quickly passes by
No time left to dwell
~~~

wow, such dark and moody words – well done
Thank you, Beth! I love the term “moody words”.
I agree with Beth, great dark and moody words…great work my friend!
Thank you Francisco!
My pleasure my friend!
This is filled with mystical suspense. I love all the lines. You take the reader on a breath holding journey. A visual unfolded as a read. A powerful painting of a verse..
Thank you ever so kindly Yasmin!
Wonderful poem, bread. I’ve never been much of a fan of the night, give me bright sunny days!
Understandable, as we have never been nocturnal animals.
sorry for the typo with “bread”. I’ll blame it on the voice recognition…
I have been called worse… no apologies necessary!
😀
Oh! I dearly love this one! Brilliantly written! 😍
Thank you Kristian!
Well done, Brad! Sunrise and twilight are the best times of the day. Not much good happens in the middle of the night.
Thank you Pete!
This poetry is more like a description of that wee hour that’s mystical and magical. Like a ritual, you describe a moment with every element in it having a distinct role to play. This one really took me to a fascinating journey
I am glad you enjoyed it my friend! Best wishes to you and yours!
Welcome Brad
