Best Illuminate Poems


Intuition Invade Illuminate

Because I love you, ensemble, 
we could embezzle our happiness
A moment at a time.

Because I love you, we could grant
ourselves, experience the fullness
of love, by giving and receiving
In our everyday life.

Because I love you, ensemble,
let's feel connected to something
 greater, than our own ego.

Caress our bodies, Ensemble,
We could sleep head to head,
light the flame without any shame.
                                                    
Meant to be we would let go of what 
wasn't meant to be, have faith 
in what will be.

We could primarily dictate our now,
blow the snow steal the wind,
To ride away.
   
Scream.              
Because I love you together,
We could dream and scream,
Light up the darkness of our world,
When resting on our bed.
                  
Since we desire each other together,
we could ride the tide on a boat,
as husband and bride, while sleeping,
Side by side.
                  
Because we yearn for one another, 
Lets become from the very few,
To lift our souls towards a beginning, 
embrace our love, as we only knew,
How our adoration grew. 

Let's hold hands just stand, 
entangle our bodies
Then dance to the band,
Till the music ends.
Seduce me.

Illuminate

My darling,
When the light of the moon fades
And the warming rays of the sun turn cold
Turn not your head to avoid the truth
Look upon it, study it, understand
That all may seem lost
But as long
As light
Remains
In your heart
There is always hope

Premium Member Illuminate My Heart

                      Illuminate my heart, Oh Lord 
                           Your Spirit, my desire
                      Your Holy Word is like a sword
                            it cleanses like a fire. 

                       Please guide me in Your way
                         to do Your will each day.  
                         on narrow path, I’ll stay. 

                          Refine me from the start
                             illuminate my heart.

Illuminate the Night

Unimpeded night
The clear moon rose to midnight
Stillness in the air

Premium Member Rising Moon

Radiant crystals illuminate thee, nocturnal mistress
in the wan dawn light where darkness drapes skies
Requiem aeternam bright halo, lies heaven’s portal 
Winters wispy cirrus refracting ring circling 
Mohawkin bespeaks of a Christmas cold moon

…December’s icy grip                         
Riffling ebb and tide, spawner of loon
Let rage and ruin Not be the end of me
Rubaiyat’s rhyme in thy honor 
Let the waters settle, quotes of Rumi 
Mercurial doomsday ruminates Mina Loy
Reigning ascendant masking impressions
Clouds envelop, shadow’s     born shorn
Ravishing stillness, stormy tasks pending…

                        bright white ring of light
                            rage and ruin’s calmly still ~
                                  not the end of me

Illuminate

"Hey, how are you?", "good how was your day?",
talking to myself, that's just a game i like to play,
stuck in this 6X6 cell, the ins and outs of everyday,
so i spend my time trying to get myself to go away
 
letting my mind go astray
 
it's collecting garbage quickly like a writers ashtray,
I know I'm going crazy but I think I'll be okay,
no help in defeating the demons kept at bay,
i feel oncoming loss, unshakable dismay
 
looking for the control room or maybe just a fuse,
thoughts of giving up, repeating "whats the use?",
but i must find a way to turn it on, free my mind from it's recluse,
so i can once again ponder the profound and obtuse
 
running through the halls, walls in electric currents,
trying to keep focused, writing for transference,
I stop, collecting thoughts that are floating in my presence,
finding all the words that will illuminate my essence.

Premium Member Illuminate Shadows, Filter Light

My shadows are tender and easy to miss,
Like a smile seems innocuous, stealthy as kiss,
Still these shadows add weight, create drag in our life,
Though they rarely, if ever, cut deep like a knife!

Too, sunlight wracks havoc though most never feel
All its subtle intrusions till later we peel;
It brings low orbit satellite’s life to an end,
Just the pressure of sunlight can make craft descend. 

A shadow's like weed's buried seeds in the ground.
They can spring up in garden where Love should abound,
Weeds drain soil of the nutrients man’s harvest needs
If our vigilance fails us, then entropy (1) leads.

Pay heed to your shadows; they're baobab trees, (2)
That if left unattended, bring worlds to their knees,
Yes, ‘The Little Prince’ (3) warned us, and he’s just a child,
Let us pray that the future won't find man defiled!

Examine your light source if it comes from man,
Try to filter it often before choosing clan,
For all men are your brothers when push comes to shove,
Can a winner rest easy who owns bloody glove?

Poet's Notes:
(1) Entropy is a concept related to the degree of “disorder” found in the universe. At the instant of the “Big Bang,” the disorder was “Zero” or perfect. As time goes on however and the stars all burn out and die, the disorder will presumably be “infinite.”
(2). A “Baobab Tree” is an African tree that can look like anything from a “Coke” bottle to a large “Elm Tree” that has been hit multiple times by lightning! In short, the Baobab is extremely primitive, twisted, and unique (but to me) ugly species! But it is a valuable source of vitamin C to native people.
(3) "The Little Prince" is a favorite book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It Is Time

It is time to ignite your flame
                      And come out of the dark.
                      Opened your eyes,
                      And see people for who they are.
                      Joined your brothers and sisters,
                      And unite them.
                      The spiritual war is nearly coming to an end.

                      Step up, and let your light shine, 
                       We are the enlightened ones.
                       Spread the gospel on every corner and street, 
                       And instill humanity.
                       Very soon our King is coming,
                       With His divine army.
                       Get ready, you will know when the trumpets are blowing.

                      Show the world who you are, 
                      And don’t be afraid of the dark.
                      Illuminate everyone, 
                      Let their flames burn.
                      We are the beacons to guide them 
                      To receive a new energy vibration.
              For too long we were deceived that we are the real illuminates.

                     Accept who you truly are.
                     If you crave to go home, 
                     You are an enlightened one.
                     Illuminate! Shine bright!
                     It is time!!

Illuminate

Like the sun's kiss in the morning
Pitch black dark with a flashing light
From a lighthouse when it's storming
That helps to guide you through the night

Illuminate

Truly love can be so
Fascinating
Watching the flowers bloom
Spring comes
Dance with me
In this endless journey
Eternity...

With you I feel so strong
Though we're two worlds apart
I connect you to my
Heart ever beating
Feelings...

Walk away and I will follow
Shadow
Wherever you go
For I know this is
Love...

In the middle of the night
You are my
Light...

Illuminate

I dreamt I wept during a breathtaking sunrise, but I had
Laughed when I shivered close to you during a sunset.
Love, your brown eyes are like a chocolate box.
Unsuppressed sentiment for each other,
My destined serenity . . .
Intertwined in your mind--
No one imagines you smiling more then I ever could,
Adieu to shadowy fears.
Tomorrow is another day to look forward to,
Endlessly embraced by you.

Illuminate Me

Mass confusion like contusions
and extreme precariousness.
The subconscious submission
of the consciousness.

Like sheep to the slaughter,
bring along your lamb.
Believe in their words,
but do not understand.
The diamonds in their eyes
and the blood on your hands.
We are the crooked pillars
on which they stand.
The cogs in the clock.
A falling grain of sand.
For their perfectly timed
executing master plan.

Get rich or die trying.
We will do the latter.
Live fast and die young
while their pockets get fatter,
but we still buy into
what they have fed.
Not food for thought.
Get brainwashed
or brain dead.
The war is at your door.
Blood is being shed.
We think we’re doing nothing,
but we’re doing what they said.
Like a bullet in the brain
and living with the lead.
The military industry is
inside your head.

Illuminate

No matter how much you hide us from your shadow
These seven bended glints called rainbow
will keep illuminating with it's vibrant glow
Till darkness fades and freedom comes to many not only to few.
