are the colours of the sky
letting clouds pass by to unknown lands
while we dream in grey.
Lost in the night
are ripples in the puddle
the shimmer of a pale moon
keeping watch over stray dreams.
Lost in the night
are curling wisps of smoke
and the sharp smell of nicotine
to go with thoughts of rain.
Lost in the night
are stray draughts of winds
looking for the company
of the wind chimes in my room.
lost in the night
are ten million shadows
tired after the day’s toil
of being the other side of light.
Lost in the night
are use and throw smiles
littered across the pavements
and nobody to pick them up.
Lost in the night
is the feel of fingers entwined
the last kiss on her doorstep
and his walk back alone.
Lost in the night
are two minor chords
words from a poem not written
notes from a song not sung.
Lost in the night
are walls between you and me
while we look at the same star
and smile in fond memory.
And the star seems closer
than you and i are
and you crumple our last moment
and throw it out in the rain.
And smiles we shared
fall away like leaves in winter
we walk, never looking back
till we’re lost in the night.
how many times has it been that you have bee one of those lost in the night?^_^.This one is a nice read, simple and yet somehow deeper than most.:)
This was just beautiful. Great poems!
