Midnight Eyes
By Ladyhawke
Midnight eyes find the weary
The wind's callous voice now soothes
Singing immortal songs
Forgotten by shipwrecked crews
Raining
fragmented tears
That the sun could not control
Filled with
glorious brilliance
Brightening my weary soul
Raindrops
'fore lain fallow
Now wash away my insanity
Filled with guarded
secrets
Drenching me with it's purity
In all my past
sorrows
Heavens dark face foregleaned
The once sheer solitude
Destroyed by midsummer dreams
Garden benches bear my hand
For the night to hear my prayer
Where flirtatious night watchers
gather
For midnight hour is so contrare
In the orchid
scented air
Floats the glory of the moon
Fireflies carry my
petition
"Shine forever and come soon"
Before, I was
awake
But no where near alive
And now finding all I know
Eclipsed behind midnight eyes

I thought that this was quite exquisite. It had a balance of light and darkness and of the awake and the weary. And don't get me started on the adjectives Ms. Lady.

When we think of times past it's usually when the skies are dark, or it's raining. We each live from day to day trying to look forward to the new tomorrow. I enjoyed the poem and the flow , An enjoyable read Thank you.

Wonderful! Not only is the theme of the poem brilliant; which for me seemed of forgotten passion, finding something worth looking for... and I believe a reference to Sirens... But your use of words is epic! "Raindrops 'fore lain fallow".. gods thats good! And correct me if I'm at fault, but there seems to be almost a feeling of redemption eventually. Brilliant!
