Lantern Poems - Poems about Lantern

There’s a light beneath my voice Not made of flame, nor bound by choice, It flickers soft in silence deep And guards the dreams I long to keep. A whisper forged of ancient fire Unseen by sight, but strong in choir, Each breath I take, it burns anew— A vow to always walk with...

I. The Hour of Approach The poem I was writing refused to end— it kept writing me. Blood didn't ink these lines— the ink bled me. Each stanza a hidden-hematoma across the white of nothingness.

Sparks aflame my sanctuary Flickering, roaming glints Over valleys of bygone years So long kept in shadows Traversing the bleakest darkness Where heat of love evades As the cool of Prussian blue night Forms a silky silent shroud Unravelling threads of sorrow's blinding Guiding me from night to day And through the hush, a glow emerges Soft...

Curious hands took delicated folded sky lantern, "Be careful you don't tear or rip me," it said. "Cause I'm the one that gives wings to your hope. I'll embrace the sky's beauty more and make it glow, With my charming warm light, I'll flow. I can banish anxiety and mesmerize...

Lantern of the Shadowed Glade In shadowed glades where spirits dwell, Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold, By tomes of old and tales untold. Carved with care by children’s hands, A toothy grin upon its face expands. Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes, Lies a deeper truth in dark disguise. On Halloween, beneath pewter beams, Wailing winds...
