Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night
Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night,
We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path,
But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same,
It softens, deepens, learns to

Flash of brightness
A flash of light like a bulb, came into sight
Shining outside my window, with a flash
The evolving view was bright and beautiful
I stood still and watched with happiness
The Goldfinch took flight, flapping to my heartbeat

I am now a butterfly
As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew
anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue
flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on

Golden darkness
The darkness becomes golden
with lusters now embolden.
The beauty from the lit flame
showed bright on the pretty frame.
The drips from the melted pool,
shines like a silver jewel.
The candelabras stood straight,
for the brightness they create.
The room then silently sang,
to dispel the shadowed gang.
That our light will ever shine,
its glow, the mirrors define.

Perspective
It's just
how I look at the world
Whether I see color in rain,
feel strength in a storm,
or space to
quietly turn inward
It's just
what I look for in the world
Whether I scan the darkness
for hopeful light
and then grab
the outstretched hand
It's just
how I color the world,
what feeling I

August
August brightness shows
Unique memories to catch,
Golden sandcastles built
Under the holidays euphoria.
Sweet when starts, sour when it ends~
Torch flame reaching its top splendor.

Bright Sight
Did this bright new poem encourage me
to use my brand-new pen?
Or did this brand-new pen encourage me
to write a bright new poem?
Did seeing your bright smiling face
bring me so much joy?
Or did the sight of joy in my eyes
cause the bright smile in your face?
Oh, which way, which way?

Brightness Falls
?rightness falls on our eyes,
like the bright summer sunsets,
the moon revolves around the earth,
and we are blessed,
you wear a bright summer dress,
you are earthy, positive, tasty,
you unwind,
you are freedom,
you are breath and oblivion,
and you stroll down the pathways of the heart
and you rise and you

Christ's Heavenly Eyes
Christ’s power dwells in the sun with ship’s drums
In blazing glory without shame
Showing its greatness even when dawn comes
To blaze greater than any man-made flame
This sun gives wisdom her fame with the stars
Christ’s wisdom dwells in the moon uprightly
Wisdom does not shine as brightly
Subtlety and humbleness shine as

Sunflower
Oh ! That Morning! Which was bright,
The sunflower inspired my strive,
Although life is like a dreadful night,
But soon the sun will shine bright,
Just turn your face towards brightening light,
Which is symbol of hope and light,
Smile of the sunflower evoked my insight,
Always turn your heart to the celestial light.

Spirit Brightness Rising
Spirit light gleams upward the same as a sunbeam,
Limbs lifted in praise as dark succumbs to light,
The splendid burden of glazed sheets, as we resume,
Dissolving bitterness induces serenity and blight.
Limbs lifted in praise as dark succumbs to light,
Swap you up in lovely ecstasy and glorious bliss,
Dissolving bitterness induces serenity and blight,
Stage of life's grip on

Brightness Catches My Eye
Tall, gray, trees stand together like statues
Across the winter’s landscape of hills
Some snow still clings to the arms of branches
Reaching wide, reaching far and wide!
Today, there is no wind in this still life view
Of land, rocks, and trees to dark blue mountains
A strip of pale light is shining across the horizon
Distant treetops seem to be
