Best Red Light Poems

have you ever felt like 
the flashing red light on the roof,
lonely as ever
visible at night, useless by day?

in sync with its partner next door
for a quick kiss over a few flashes only 
then arguing again and again 
night in, night out.

have you ever felt...

Christmas tree lights make a kaleidoscope of colors on this wall of mine
In the quiet room I sit and watch, oblivious to the passage of time

Alone, I sit and gaze at that one small blinking red light
My mind wandering back to that one still star-studded...

Who are you?
If I had the time,
I'd find out,
But the light turns green
And faces streak by 
So fast.
And when the light is red,
I make sure the doors 
Are locked and the Windows 
Are raised.
Who are you?
Don't worry,I'll try
Not to stare,and sorry
Not a dime to spare....

Are you truly homeless and hungry?
The cardboard sign with crooked letters says you are...
I only have a red lights time to decide.
Some say panhandlers make a good "living"
...are you one of them

Your clothes are dirty and raggedy
but you eyes are filled with fire and piss

Start
With the common thread that ties this altogether but I 
Stop
In my tracks when I have no idea what that means so I 
Start
With the basics, wrack my brain for the information to feed my fingers
The fuel to let loose the energy to produce these...

The light turns red right as I come to it.
This light stays red forever; I know well.
A long time stopped here, I’m just going to sit.
So tired am I. This waiting is pure hell.

My eyes keep closing. How I need to sleep!
It’s 2 a.m. My...

Curbside romance


Picture in a magazine
Leering at a beauty queen
Short shirts and dirty mack’s
Waiting for red light perhaps
A furtive glance
Curbside romance

Fake smiles through
Red violent lips
Faded faces worn
By times constant grip

High heeled whores
Strut like flamingos
On their way
To another nights work

Woman in a window 
Peering down the street...

Red light, Green light, cigarette buds

Red means stop,
green means go,
cigarette buds punched out in an dirty ash tray
means death is coming for you
and love has run out,
just as the man trying to blow through
the intersection we all know as 'life'
smoking his cigarette clouding his car
with...

Short shorts skirts and spike heeled shoes

In the Red light District of your town

On the darkened street corners

There's pleasures of the flesh to be found.


Blondes, brunettes and redheads

Working girls they are.

They earn their living selling flesh

To hungry men with expensive cars.


In the Red light District...

Looking in the /a mirror is my favorite thing to do,
I love it because it describes the beauty,
of a woman during the day in sunlight time midnight air,
picturing a circular circle mirror shape,
by the door of and in the core of hoe it make,
me feel,...

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...

Can you see the darkness, the utter blackness that surrounds me
The only light shinning down from a single street lamp
reflecting off the water on the street
a sad run away story

the black pavement blends in with the sky
the yellow glare is from a street light
the metal...
