Best Flickers Poems


Premium Member The Screen Flickers
Thoughts flood my mind 
when I’m alone
Close to my computer 
I am sin prone
These flames of lust 
they flicker within me
Images intertwined 
begging me to see
This empty eroticism 
promises of ecstasy 
I know this is my prison
still I don’t want to be set free

Curved and...

Premium Member Shining Candlelight Flickers Inside
The closer to heaven we become dreams are born pure 
love the finest silk beams ivory on this earth's breath 

Dewdrops weep for the night as starlight crystals drop down 
amazing grace under a silver chalice drinking
 
From the moonshine is where the song sings...

The candle flickers in front of me
A mesmerizing flame to watch
Sometimes moving, sometimes still
As life can be so busy, then so quiet

Sometimes we flicker, sometimes we stop
To notice the simple things
Maybe the rhythm of our breath
Time is what we make of it

To shine, to give,...

Flickers of Time
FLICKERS OF TIME 
dear dear one
It's now clocking seven years 
Since you left me in this maddening crowd
Lonely as a grape tree in the yard
Fearing that some strong wind may one day knock me down
I still lay in melee
Hoping that some day
The wind will blow...

As Wind Blows Softly--Single Candle Flickers Tis Light
As breeze blows softly
tis candle flickers in the wind
bring me back once again
to the night... 
two hearts tis beating as one
together.. sweeetness of love
forever given by God above

tis I sit.. at a table
within a room
filled with couples 
at each tables
twas one single candle
lights dim-down low
music...

Flame Flickers
When the flame of passion 
flickers out.
Seducing the mind & ravaging 
the body.

Sweeping the rhyme of reason 
precluding nothing of the 
mind's ability. 
Only desire can reignite 
the flame of burning passion.

The unique ticking & clicking of 
a timed artist's internal clock.

Sediments of heart impede

Flickers
in the shadows the candle flickers
the light is then snuffed out
I realize, what I thought was true
is casting serious doubt

how do we get back to where
the playing board is even
without the hope of trust and love
thinking is not believing

with time comes rust and corrosion
there may...

The candle light flickers for no reason
even when shielded from stray puffs of wind.
It is an internal thing, rhythm within its being,
a vibrato in its song of pixels waved.
A reminder that making light is tough
squeezing vapor from melted wax, that is wicked
up to furnace of...

In twilight,  specks become stars,  
bridges locked in gold,  
Engraved whispers on walls...

Premium Member Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceptive beacon
Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceptive beacon,
Authority entices the shadows, drawing the basest elements of our kind,
Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to their own decay,
They endure any humiliation, commit any vile...

Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceitful beacon,
Authority tempts the shadows, alluring the lowest elements of our kind,
Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to its own decline,
They endure any indignity, commit any vile...

Voicemail Heart Flickers

When the alert sounds,
the source of the mystery is revealed.
Heartbeat flickers,
mind smiles,
your voice distilled, calm and haunting,
			as I am the lone soul on the planet and,
			the only one who can detect soul’s peace?
In the flurry of the daily,
ups, downs and even outs.	,...

The candle flickers, the sunlight fades, 
   Nearly extinguished, up high the flame leaps
   As brilliant rays pierce my heart's horizon
Then disengage, sink slowly into the ashen eve

Where unseen, sparks glow and glimmer
   From my inmost chamber throughout

Flickers of Life
Sometimes to look inside
Takes more than calming highs
Sometimes there’s cyanide
And sometimes I’ll have to die

Oceans of vivid worth
Mixed in with delusion’s birth
I just want to feel the earth
But sometimes this world’s a curse

Poisons in pure streams
Going on until I scream
Faster - the end of me
Too...
