Poetry: Midnight

Midnight Hours
(A Villanelle)

You reach out and touch me as you sleep
and waves of confessions I complete
as the midnight hours stealthily creep

Where Pegasus rules is where I leap
when by perfect aim of your cold feet
you reach out and touch me as you sleep

I must have been snoring loud and deep
seduced by vessels of beer and meat
as the midnight hours stealthily creep

When I'm awake I would often weep
beg and pray that would, within our sheet,
you reach out and touch me as you sleep

What manner of love is this I keep
that I would still need you so badly
as the midnight hours stealthily creep

Perhaps the answer I'll never reap
when I move to warm your feet so sweet
you reach out and touch me as you sleep
as the midnight hours stealthily creep

    Midnight seeps into my veins,
    Fills me with tears and poetic rains...
    And soft as snow, your words to me,
    In turn I yearn to

    Midnight falling through occult lips, that
    In wonder exhale with one, cold, breath, so
    Dine on my words tonight, my love.

    by John Shaggy

    On the wings of midnight the poet ponders,

    amongst hills and trees just over yonder

    His purpose he seeks in a world gone
