Best Headlights Poems

HEADLIGHTS ON DARK ROADS

Timid tentative tap on her door at midnight
as she lay expectantly in suspense and the hope
that he would defy all obstacles to prove his love
for her

Like Romeo and Juliet forbidden to date as parents
failed to understand her attraction to him- this soul
connection...

Sadness of my soul
     Joy emerges from my heart 
    My mind uncertain...

The deer shake off the headlights


We sat in the car outside the 
liquor store peering like deer, our eyes 
following Pinky as she went in to 
the store for a twelve pack of beer.
Our breathing stops. She's carded. Shucks.
Fake card works. Yes! Pinky time. She

Buzz buzz purr purr
You think it’s all for you
Rub my ears and scratch my fur
It’s better than a zoo

You think it’s all for you
When I bring in a mouse
It’s better than a zoo
This living in your house

When I bring in mouse
You made me rip your...

dusk’s love-locked braces —
dad resounds shooting antler
off bucks to detach

Headlights


I’m heading home now to see my Wife;
I’m gonna kiss her and hold her tight.
Because I think she is so wonderful;
My love I love you.
You are so beautiful.


Driving home on a winters night;
All I’m seeing are those damn headlights.
Those blinding lights, those bright, bright lights;
Those...

I went to the Secretary of State's office
to receive my license today.
On the way, I swear
I saw my uncle fresh out of rehab.
I swear
I thought I saw Miguel Pinero's ghost
on the sidewalk
in his classic rags, three-day beard
and fedora ensemble.
 
My mother and I arrived,
walked in...

Let's dance in the moonlight
Your eyes shine bright like starlight
Hopefully, you'll stay by my side for a little while
You're like a diamond in the cave in sexy style

Headlights 
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!

Streetlights
They shine bright
Like starlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Like moonlight...
Ooh...ooh...

Headlights...

You heard me complain about this and that
Today I glorify in being at the Food Chain's top
Neither sacred bulls, cows, or holy hen are safe
From my predation; they are prey, my target

Until one summer, brother Mosquito terrorized me
Maybe it is Sister Mosquite? Female mosquitos bite...

You may have found some love, you may have found some peace?

Do you remember when that didn't matter?
Do you remember what you did to me?

You may find joy and happiness in your baby daughters beautiful blue eyes?

Do you remember the speed and broken bones?
Do you...

Red
My face burnt under that stare
Shame
How could she possibly guess?
No one else
No one else would ever guess
No one else could ever tell me what not to do
No one could ever affect me like that
Burning
I have sunshine always at my back
It blurs my form and no...

No one dead is reaching out to you 
That's my voice that you hear when you're remembering all the opportunities you let go 
This is the lonely road 
and not only are you driving it but I watched you pave the way with a thousand...

To live non-affirming
to live not at all
To hide in the shadows
and creep down the hall

To live uncommitted
new doubts to contend
All time intermittent
repressed till the end

To live without friendship
alone on the rock
A wandering echo
reflections that mock

To live undecided
with doubt your best friend
a future derided
—the present pretend

Too far from the mojo
—too close to the fire
