Best Lights Are On Poems

Old Jack hated Halloween night.
The constant ringing of his doorbell
he didn't like. So he turned off his
household lights.
   His wife said, "Why did you go and 
do that, Jack?" he replied "They
won't see the house, and I'll get
some rest!"
    Little...

I am standing naked on a crowded street
But nobody seems to be noticing me
I am less embarrassed by my nakedness
Than by my invisibility

They all seem to be looking right through me
Or staring down at the concrete walk
With iPod plugs shoved deep into their ears
Nobody can...

Very loosely based on Robert Palmer’s song Addicted To Love – I understand the lyric is often mis-quoted hence the title.

The lights are on, were both at home
Your todger has a mind of its own
Our hearts beat, our bodies quake
Making love is what it takes
We...

don't tell his mamma
how the sun did not rise today
although it was a cloudless dawn
he could only feel the coldness of rain

don't tell his mamma
how he is hiding his grief
although he may not flow in tears
he is consumed with sorrows

don't tell his mamma
how he is...

Here we go again,
I’ll have to count to ten,
It’s Christmas time once more,
Christmas songs ‘n every store.

It’s bound to cost a mint
It’s gunna make me skint
And all for just one day
Please make it go away!

The wife’s all in a tizz
I’ve forgotten the Buck’s Fizz 
And...

I was here
I was here
First

I was here

First

Take a breath of
oxygen
Your choking on
confidence
The lights are on
but you cant see
Slit wrist 
Bleed

You took my life
from me
Let us come back
You stole the air we
breath
Let us come back

I was here first
Choking on oxygen
I was here first
Choking on oxygen
I was...

Gone 2

My lights are on
But I'm not home
I've gone to look for me.
It's on my own
That I have gone
In hopes of finding me.
I don't recall
The time at all
When I began to seek,
Or from the wall
The picture fall
That kept me on my feet.
I only know
As on...

the lights are on but nobody is home,
the confused elderly mumble and roam,
at the nursing desk they stand,
their minds in another land,
no shoes, no clothes, the hair could use a comb.

The lights are on all throughout the city
The vast amount of light exists around
The fainting love spell, such divinity
A long enhanced greatness so abound

Pieces of delight are within each scene
The lights are on all throughout the city
Cars express their glory, by lights they’re seen
And each...

The lights are on, but you're not home
You sit in your car all alone
You try on different brands, different styles
You try to control your primal instincts, living so wild
Ecitement fills the air, you buy some Dove chocolates, you get a free pair
This is the one...

Thoughts in my head that no one can see
Monsters in my room, how did they come to be?
The lights are on, but for some reason it's still dark
no one can see my invisible scars

People can't see it so they don't believe it
A ton of invisible...

Thrusted onto a stage preset. 
You look around,
Encompassed by an audience that seem to surround.
A susurration of voices erupt from the darkness. 
Whispers of eclectic emotion - 
A scene so sharp, so vivid, so real,
It cuts deep. 
Leaving a scar that shall last an eternity....
