FLASHLIGHT IN THE FOG
FLASHLIGHT IN THE FOG
~~~~~~~~~~
in the thick of night,
a beam cuts through the stillness—
truth in the whispered fog
the fog holds its breath,
time bends and stretches,
and I am both lost and found

The Flashlight
The obstacles and dangers are rarely seen
Walking with no lamp in the cold dark night.
When the big moon hides behind the screen,
Flashlight fills the mood in transparent light.
Beyond the scary realm unseen noises reign,
From the abandon overgrown world,
My nature is clear when the flashlight flame
Bring something incomprehensible into my soul.
Weary nights cloaked in

The Flashlight
I gave him an azure colored flashlight
One of those mag lights that men carry
Always aware, expectant of the need
That arises when we least imagine it will
I didn’t know it then, but it would be years
Over a decade, before I’d see him up close
Again and touch his hand and hold him with
My kisses, wrapping him with

Ah! Drop your prejudice and hear
I lost my love, fortnights ago
My weeping tears dried-up
Searching for my last name.
With solo flashlight wandering
Among scattered droplets of war.

Seek Ye First: Flashlight In the Dark
Once upon a time, I believed that earthly men held felicity keys
Myriad of joy one special someone would woo me to rely on
But soft whispers serendipitous of grace, I heard with ease
Steep in thought, I surely had reached zenith of my reflections.
At times I lived and breathe guilt. Passage of my life held stripes
Alone before

Flashlight
late at night when all people dream
the world is not as it may seem
in the daylight things are less scary
but at night you must be wary
for the darkness that surrounds us all
one misstep and you will fall
into the deep world below
and then you will begin to know
the secrets that we all hold dear
is what

Flashlight: Stranger In the Gangway
Flashlight: Stranger in the Gangway
The lack of visitors is uterine
and that is why you porcupine
in this dark corner. Here
who can see the cobra
slither from your lips, spray
the phrases of your mind,
slip back to its moist nest.
Here, who can hear the jeer
of cheetah eyes. “Come,”
they cry, “pour on the light.
Your heart I’ll lacerate
with
