Best Alight Poems

It was a long hike before they reached the campsite,
and sunlight was fading with the slight threat of rain.
Mandy was weary and Jeff's mood was quite dreary.
There was much yet to prepare before dark of night.
Tents needed raising, then fire and food to prepare.
Labors completed...

Today the sun rose
Over a doleful earth
Our hero, uTata Madiba,
Whose life has given us worth,
Has now set sail
For a realm beyond our reach
And now imprinted in mind
His every word and belief

A soul that cared
So deeply for humanity
Whose humility would dismiss
All traces of vanity
He strongly loved
Every...

The beauty inside you
Glows with the color of sunrise
In the mornings before my eyes
And when the night comes
It burns with a white luminous 
Flame like a full moon does

The beauty inside you 
Has set alight
The fire which burns with
A flame of love in my heart
But...

the skies alight through this light 



when night-falls over our love forever more, 
 my wife 
when days break to our hearts quake 

love Begin once again 
eyes to meet 
lips to kiss 
hands to hold 
bodies alight in love throughout the nights in to...

Bring forth visions of happiness, ecstasy, joy, light up the dark.
Let all participate from the very young to our revered oldest.
On this occasion to join in and give of their very best.

Eyes alight

How far shall stretch our lost regrets?
Here where sanity dwells,
Is it attained by those with wisdom
Or some who rest within;
Until a twilight fades in the brake of day
And darkness no longer shines, 
Then ever waits the soft embrace
In a place where eyes alight

Softly break...

With his dramatic oratorio,
In large anthems,fast & slow;
An anglo-german..all sort
Bringing opera to the royal court.

lady bugs giggle
November's white flowers yawn
Doves coo in the mist

I'm dreaming of a well lit Christmas 
just like the ones that used to glow 
for a price of admission, a well-lit apparition
a rainbow-colored gel for Christmas show

I'm dreaming of a lighted Christmas 
photons careening with bright flow
'lectric magicians emit eye-candy emissions
from exclusive condos down...

a sacred sparrow
hovers over the sage,
she flutters a feather 
giving gift of a page


the alliteration lights
with a spiral of sparks, 
and the quickening quill
darts to dazzle the dark


worlds of wonder 
sing through my mind,
and building a bastion
with mosaic designs


I now leave lines
of crumbs and seed,
praying...

the dark side
of the sun
sunny side up
i begin searching
in the soul

with light
from the moon
caressing deep
dark space
twinkling stars 
shining

winking i look
upon the moons 
face smiling
silver shadows
dancing

fluttering light 
in the trees
hiding 
seek and you will find
as night speaks
i whisper 
softly

without a voice
not lost
dreaming something beautiful
a lonely wolf
upon...

In the frigid silence of glacial eve, penguins gather tight. 
Emperors, waddling half in black, under half-lit southern night.
One dreams of flight, yet stays on course; with colony alights.

i see an angel 
you light up
in a faraway distance
hope shines
silent whispers
rustling in the trees

a white rose
walking a beautiful path
filled with sweet blossoms
chosen as we speak
enchanting spells
 light within a life
the curtains 
begin to raise
out of nowhere 
like a dream

i begin talking
beautiful words again
the path...

Four Things

Four things in any land must dwell, 
If it endures and prospers well:
One is manhood true and good;
One is noble womanhood;
One is child life, clean and bright;
And one an altar kept alight....
