Best Light Shines Down Poems

The light shines down
Chilling my soul with its flame
The pain of loss
Rips my spirit apart
I lose myself in the depths of sorrow
Which overwhelms me with the loneliness
Journeying into the pit of never-ending sleep
I find myself swimming about
In the shallow abyss
Looking for a glimmer of life
That...

Lonely in the hush of evening
I search the night sky for your bright smile;
such a vivid beam of light shines down at me.

You, my true north, a star beyond compare --
undeniably radiant, grants me direction, comfort.
Your smile is encased in a luminous halo.

Twinkle, twinkle, little...

Sometime I can’t see past the day.
Many times I get in my own way.
Thoughts swirl, then land on the page,
Just like a beast released from a cage.

The sun rises as I thought it would.
The light shines down, just like it should.
I hear a voice and...

Looking to heaven.
A light shines down.
Down, down comes an angel.
Down to my knees I go.
Weeping unto the Lord.
Suddenly, there is a pure white light shining all around me.
A faint whisper in my ear.
Yes?
It is the Lord.
Telling me to help others.
How?
With the special gift I have...

One foot here and the other there
Celestial light shines down
on the folding fan
channeling the wind from North to East,
to South, and lastly West
Cherry blossom petals slowly rain
and scarlet petals of dying flowers
join the westward winds
Another step here and another there
This folding fan will guide the...

Across the brook they are calling me
calling me to join in and be free,
across the ripples they are calling me
to truly learn to be,
and just like a fairy sings cheerily
sings cheerily of the sacred space,
and just like a child I am wearily
creeping closer to the...

She the succulent pixie of delight
Eyes a glow in a blazing light
The sunset glistening through her light blue gems
Watching the waves as time contends 
To escape away from her beautiful gaze
As the light shines down and slowly fades
Mesmerized my Apollo's trance 
The wind swaying her...

I dream about my democratic socialist twin

sitting in that beautiful world

Above din and roar

Where light shines down

And fills entire world

Lovespace

Suffocating hatespace

Reaching into depths of old memories

Using loves brush to Scratch out deeply ingrained hatred

Using loves hand to heal and rescue inner child

Its gonna be ok

Its...

Doomed,
grotesque,
decaying
corpses ~ swollen,
swarming with maggots,
emit agonizing 
screams while Hell claims their damned souls.
Mangled bodies gasp their last breath. 
Bloody corpses hang, blackened ~ pus-filled.
Vile laughter echoes: Satan reigns supreme.


God’s light shines down on me ~ shows me the way.
When I kneel to pray, He sends...

Like a never fading sun in the sky.
the hospital light shines down as I lie.
And you cant help  but wonder will I die.
Why me, why now, is it OK for a man to cry ?.

When the blues and twos sing your name.
You wonder who...

Palace Of Light

With every lung full of air, With each second of despair.
With every hour that pass, When every sound exploding glass.

For every soul that scares alone, Electric shock at every tone.
Every heart beat that carries pain, For every head bowed down in shame.

When love...

Red moon in October night,
Crimson sprays, from pale light.
Earth’s shadow, casting lovely glow,
Red atmosphere transferring light to pale moon,
The Blood Moon shines tonight.

Watch from the land, 
Watch from the sea,
Watch from the air,
Watch from space,
Watch the Blood Moon.

Red light shines down on Earth’s shadow,
Common night...

The garden at night
in the moon light
doesn’t look the way
that it does in the day.

The moon light shines down
upon the dark ground
making shadows fall
while night creatures crawl.

You won’t see a bird.
No bees will be heard.
Although you might see
a night owl in a tree.

A bat in...

The sky is clouded over with the imminent rain
The world is dissolving as the water is pain
My soul is rebuilt, but it washes away
The emotional tide blotting out the new day

How many times must I lose my soul?
How many times must I lose control?
How many...

In search of song we squeeze out stanzas
The booming beat of rhymed bonanzas
The search for the perfect line
The crafting of a work so fine

For deep within us the need arises
To pour out word and rhythmic surprises
To bring forth from the deepest muse
Word to delight and...
