Best Streetlights Poems

The daylight hours start to fade and die
Darkness creeps upon us like a stalking black cat
Streetlights flank both sides of the road 
Looming large like massive matches waiting to be ignited
Special sensors activate, striking them into life
Dim at first then building to illuminate our way

Streetlights in the night air
Streetlights light up the city 
Underneath them youth yearn 
Teenage boys and girls embrace

      Brilliant moonshine, rising in height 
      And then ascended,...

I listen to the streets
they have all the right names
at dawn I stand under the lamps

blueish grey skies part open
the day is welcomed by the warm morning sun 
electric mind illuminate me 
reveal all the answers I need

I continue to walk against the morning clock...

Under streetlights
In the silence of snow
I am back when my breath was last this loud

Electric

You tug at my t shirt with your left hand and your nails graze my skin 
Our pupils dilate, distending out to greet each other in a grotesque bridge of wet,...
