POEM STARTER
Mysteries of the Night
Whether something natural and beautiful like the stars, or something more sinister, write a poem that focuses on things that are most prominent at night.
McPeak
You haunt me with your quiet manner
speaking volumes in the solitude of your silence
but are my readings an accurate portrayal of your midnight complexion?
You're a mystery of the night, my soul,
is captivated by your demeanor.
Your hands are the witchcraft of Merlin
Your skin the blanket of Arabian nights
Your figure is the wand of divination
And I am your eternal captive.
Lo and behold, I'll do anything for you
if it's within my means I'll bend over backwards for you
I'll pray day n night for your success and victory
I'll hope in your eternal happiness knowing it'll strengthen my own.
I'll divine in the shadows to keep you in the light
Oh if only you'd kiss me with your mighty lips
and it'll be the gentle breeze I need on hot and lonely nights
Captivate me with the gift of meeting you again, sir, I hope, would you please,
That I may sing your praises again,
in honor of you, a precious gem of the earth.
