Sometimes...

Wandering thoughts that come out in the night.

Sometimes...
Resurrection comes through
The stillness of the night
Conflicts; life within my being
To the struggles once benign

 

Sometimes...
Nothing ignites the fire
Than the tranquil which soon follows
Amid, the ambiance of starlight
Where irrelevant, the whole world is
When simply out of sight

 

Sometimes,
I long to hold forever
The now, midnight hours which I own
To savor mere moments 
Where my thoughts, begin to surface
And feel free to roam

 

But, always conscious dreams must also sleep
As they shy in sunrise among another quiet
Where washing slumbers seep
Unfolding, to its rival, my alter life
In nexus of a day's arrival
Surrendering, giving blackout its reprieve

The only similarities in our poems is the title....you are miles ahead of me Michael, very well done, enjoyed this it flows so well, an intelligent write :)

[Michael G. Smith]

We are all on the journey together and that's what matters. Practice, practice, practice, keep a dictionary nearby and use the Internet to explore context of words, phrases and meanings. I have a note app. and time I get a thought I save for later. The way half of writes come about are by coming up with a single thought or line and building around it. Thanks for chatting, I always enjoy it.

[KT-B]

great advice, thank you - oh me too :)

Usually, during the night, I get the craziest of thoughts, and act looney. It is fun lol I enjoy the night way better than the crowded busy day.

[Michael G. Smith]

I used to most of my drawing and writing at midnight, but I had to learn to go to bed before midnight so my wife could sleep better.

[Tiffany Boles]

lol, sleep is always good.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Greatly penned! I love the last stanza especially.. It must be great to visit your thoughts even just for once. :)

[Michael G. Smith]

oh, they never cease, I have to force them to be quiet so I can sleep.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Wonderful. You have to thank them because they help you come up with excellent poems. ;)

[Michael G. Smith]

It's the madness. I have to keep from making me go insane, lo,.

[Avinash]

Solitude with only your thoughts giving a company could be most creative phase. But that is still loneliness.

M.G., Superb description of thought and the progression of the thoughts from night to morning. Favorite lines: "But, always conscious dreams must also sleep/As they shy in sunrise among another quiet"

[Rita L. Sev]

Very nice flow to this piece, M.G. I especially like the last stanza.

But, always conscious dreams must also sleep
As they shy in sunrise among another quiet...

There's something almost "modern-Shakespeare" about these lines.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks. You came to mind this weekend. My wife was buying a ring made out of real silverware from early eighteen hundreds. Looking through them that they names of different presidents. I remembered Rutherford B. Hayes.

[Michael G. Smith]

Sorry this one was meant for Rutherford.stupid phone. Lol

Loved the poem and these two last lines were brilliant. Thank you, Mike.

[Michael G. Smith]

You are welcome. Have you ever heard of the character Kitty Pryde from the X-men?

[Pryde Foltz]

Unfortunately, I have. She comes up when I google myself. lol.

[Michael G. Smith]

That's too funny!!

[Michael G. Smith]

Type in Spirit within the flute. I've had several sites hijack this poem of mine without permission or credit.

[Pryde Foltz]

Flattering but still theft. Sorry about that.

[Michael G. Smith]

Yeah, I was flattered until I read author unknown.

[Moniba]

My favourite poem by you... Love it.

[Michael G. Smith]

Why thank very much. I wrote this while up alone soaking up the quiet of the night where my mind tends to carry on another life of deep thoughts.

[Moniba]

Oh my God. Even your review comments are commendable now ;)
