Lights Poems - Poems about Lights

In the city of diffuse lights, the young carry their dreams like transparent cloaks, With souls hungry for desires and unfulfilled quests, running through glass labyrinths, Trying to quench their thirst with offerings of life that sparkle but are hollow to the touch, Between the shelves of existence, where cheap illusions are wrapped in attractive colors. They seek nourishment...

On the fourth day, light was made, Sun and moon in skies displayed. Stars that sparkle, sunsets so bright, Rainbows painted in muti-colour light. Because of light, we see and know, Creation’s beauty in full glow. Life and light in union stay, Their bond unbroken day by day. He who said, "I am the light," Now dwells within our hearts so bright. He came to...

Let the brief time be cast away, Let the movable thread be loosely handled, Let the shadow be cast on you, Let the water flow over the distant edges. But when you know you’ll never get the wanderer back, Even as you cast him off, When you tally the drifters, They’re all misplaced and undone. The Moirai will let him go, Because, you know, You...

I have been deceived all this while, By all the angels cloaked in a dear disguise. 'Follow the way of light, my child, ' they all cooed, For they knew too well I was never shrewd. Off I went, probing for those lights, Something to put an end to my wakeful nights. But manipulation, oh my dear, Sounds sweeter when it is...

You and I have been friends for many moons You and I have played together countless afternoons Not to mention many mornings and many nights. Since today is your birthday, I want to send you: kaleidoscopic lights Multiple dancing rainbows of heaven, exotic flowers And warm hugs and I’ll blow fresh new kisses from afar to your ears. I called you...

In their formative moments artists live alone Sharing themselves only when the pain has dulled In corners of dark musings their spirit’s hide Calling out whenever the lights go down — and the rush is gone (The New Room: May, 2025) ...

Toxic, intoxicating solitude, With a tantalizing proclivity To slither inch by inch, or suddenly, Back into suffocating loneliness When will I again see my own person Reflected back at me from the abyss? There is a thrill in the uncertainty Of when yellow will finally kill me. My jaundiced skin shivers in raw disgust, Shivering life into dissolution. It kills my blue...

In the silence that flows like a river of shadows and lights, I don't say many words, but I feel everything, Every unspoken word, every silence that becomes an echo too loud for my heart, I care in a way people don't notice until they wake up without it, I extend my care not for recognition, but because...

Across the water The street light flows Trees undressed Allow the light to glow Saturated shadows define the streetlight Changing each moment Before the sun rises Water appears as a dark stain Birds squawking softly ...

Obtuse abuse..rude platitudes shout.. About alternative attitudes..generations.. Scream at different altitudes & latitudes.. Venerate mandarins sins.. Generate pernicious vicissitudes Vicious avaricious machinations.. Celebrate nations chagrin… Pander to propaganda spin.. AI garlanded reputations.. Cohorts in suits cavort in cahoots.. Kiss or diss..the abyss Hiss of mis-information bliss.. Arrests..capitalist corporate conquests...detests protest.. Well got egregious prior & previous.. SO Whatever your hue or world view.. We know what's wrong..doesn't belong Deliriously daring to...

Old Spielberg, with visions so grand, Would yell, "Dinosaurs! Take a stand!" He'd direct with a shout, "More fog! Spread it out!" Then ask, "Where's my popcorn? On demand!" ©bfa032025 ...
