Best Illuminations Poems

from the sky’s black velvet cloak
points of light emanate 
drawing the wonder of all who see

but are these sequin stars
or tears in the fabric of heaven
from which our lost loved ones look down
smiling to let us know they are happy

one special star
reveals a most welcome...

Illuminations, Temptations, Life's Travails Endured 
 
Weep for Truth that man's inherent evil betrayed
Zeus hurled lightning bolts, paradise dreams delayed;
Intriguing words, those tales of mythological beasts
Sirens tempt, alluring songs, dark orgasmic feasts:
Man that so blindly eats, stirring to walk upright,
Consuming illusions of...

"Please turn off the blinding lights" 

Must close my eyes to see the brightness of my future. 
My today's reality dims the spirit of the hunt. 
Overcasting shadows and shaded grays of life's blunders; 
of many passions, many desires, and many shall-not-wants. 

Cannot dread what...

"As I leave
this compound body
of flesh and blood
I will know it to be
a transitory illusion."

Could transitory
embodied illusions
become mindbody gateways
toward transitional systemic illumination?

Could hybrid mind/bodies,
sacred/secularized thoughts,
spiritual/naturalized neurological feelings
of attachment
to harmonic self/other resonance
ego/eco-perpetuating
inside/outside climates of peace
restoring Earth Justice CoAttachment
also become CoOperative sensory experience
of Integrity's Universal Promise?

Could climax...

Illuminations bright reflect
Upon the snow drift laden street,
The yellow lanterns intersect
Where human traffic circumspect
Leave hollow tracks of phantom feet.

Shop windows with lacklustre shine,
Like showcase sockets in the dark,
Bestow a grey and black design
Of product shadows ill defined,
Skulk predatory like a shark.

The leads and cables strung...

some other world passed by that night
through wet circles on the glass.
against the blur of dark and light
crowds swarmed and walked en-masse.

the storm picked up along South Shore
spitting patterns on the screen.
the wipers rubbed and squeaked once more
leaving fan shapes where they’d been.

the lights that...

Hull fair

October and it arrives,
Hull fair is a family thing,
As children parents take you,
Teenagers you go with mates,
As adults you take your kids,
I've not seen in years now,
No grandchildren you see.

In my life time it's always arrived and I'm 55,
I still remember the sights, sounds...
