A beautiful mix of darkness, cold, swelling love
z
I
One Last dance my love
One last waltz in the shadows with the fireflies
To a nightbird’s concerto with the crickets
One last twirl my love, In the twilight
Through the grass near the river
One last dance my love
II
the nightwinds call me on
A seductress’ urging voice
Beguiling and chill
Coaxing copper leaves to twist and turn along the road
with a breathy laugh
The nightwinds call me on
III
To the night, I give my final song
To the night I give my sorrow
My hope, my love
My tears that sparkle in the moonlight
To the night I give my weeping voice
To the night, I give my final song
IV
What may the night bring to me?
It chills my bones to wonder
At the stars so far away,
At the moon that watches, an icy silver eye
Through all my fear in this cold night I wonder
What may the night bring to me?
V
The wind, the rain, and the moon
Like leaden silver sheets
They fall, beating like needles
I walk through
alone, save for my silent companions:
The wind, the rain, and the moon
VI
I watched the moon
Paint the oil black Sea with quicksilver
In her eyes between streaks of her black hair
We stood on the sands, swaying,
Smiling, content, careening in love, with her
I watched the moon
VII
In this midnight
I stand, awake and alive
Chasing winds down alleyways
Hoping, laughing cheering, shouting
Living, for once, living
In this midnight
VIII
In this lotus garden of the night
I wait among the twilight trees
In between groves of silver glamoured flowers
Alone, awaiting an unarriving love,
I abide silently in this place,
In this lotus garden of the night
IX
The winds whisper between midnight willows
They chill my weary bones
They whip around my black wrapped frame
The blinded black moon stares down, shineless
And lightless above this wood where
The winds whisper between midnight willows
X
This night will never end
The blazing city lights
Look on like glaring, imperious stars
Through the rain, the window, they glare
Unwondering, uncaring, unfeeling.
This night will never end
XI
Would you walk with me my love?
In your white dress
Down this tree arched road
Hand in hand with the moon looking on
Through gaps in the branches
Would you walk with me my love?
XII
Sometime the night will end
I know not when
This night may end
Will it?
From my balcony I can only hope
Sometime the night will end
XIII
Those sultry summernight winds
Purr and whisper down the street with me,
Brushing down my arms
I wonder
If they can hear me
Those sultry summernight winds
XIV
That ghostly falling moon
Falls upon the ocean
reaching for the sands
In coal black plumes
Streaked silver by
That ghostly falling moon
XV
My morningstar
Your eyes spark gray
The first sparks of dawn!
You are
my hope, my heart
My morningstar
Hi again!
I just reviewed another of your works. I'm in love with all of these, they are all so beautiful. Reading these is just mesmerizing. I just love how you use your words in these to describe things and feelings. It really draws me in as a reader to be able to understand these poems so well due to your talent for words.
Keep Writing! Your poems are fantastic, keep up the good work.

A hoy hoy,
All your nocturnes are very beautiful and the figurative language is enchanting. It's clever how you were able to twist the meaning of the first line so that it would mean something different when it reappeared again at the end of the poem. My favourites were, I, VII, VIII and X.
If I had to point out a downside, it would be that some lines of the verses could have ended with punctuation to aid with the flow.
But apart from that, carry on!
