Pain is a solitary shaft of sunlight
piercing the fathomless depths of a wishing well,
reflected off the tin-can shards in dark prismatic waters,
refracted spears of realisation and the blinding truth they tell.
Looking backwards with somnambulistic vision

Relations we were
On all seasons, either spring or autumn
Assemble unanimously for all reasons
Like numerous birds in a single tree
We extend our feathers with glee
Our elders were pillars
Shadowed us from all sorrows
We never get tired
And spilled...

Before you know my name 
You might want to know a little about me

I came from the land ends
From a bittersweet dream 
From the end of seasons
From beyond the future

I brought honey bees 
Ancient’s jaundice
But...

Of that, that lazed in the league composed,
faraway sights gifted reserve from activewear a euphuistic fence,
the settling dust of undisturbed light flickers an arrival.

Yon an ornate circular gate is a varied stone patterned garden,
and a...

And now the trickles ripple rifting
through the hues of the sky—confetti!
The words of my mouth are paintings;
a projected splash all over—frantics!
Whether they drag down God's face
blaze out streamlights—candlelights
pin a billion sunrises into a stiffened day.

Aromatic lingering scents
Shadowed dancing from candlelights
Touches of scattered roses
Stings tickling the senses
On the dim cool lights
He held her slowly
On her narrow waist
He circled his arms
He led her on the floor
As music rises
Filling the room
He swayed...

The light evening meal
Served under moon and stars,
Flickering candlelights whilst
Writing our memoirs.

Classical music; 
Beauty to my ears,
Gazing up to Venus, Mars,
Thinking biospheres. 

Accidentally tapping me 
Underneath the table, 
Glimpsing in my eyes
Like you’re ready and...

The gaudy beauty of the villas with
new money blazons on the pediments,
the Moon over the garden, the sea breeze,
orchids in bloom - they're all the elements

of the confusing game to lure me to
a point of...

Late chilly night on the street
you’re embracing me
Cloudy rainy night with pretty lips
you’re kissing me
Oh misty red scarlet night
you’re my pastime
For the night

Through the city gates we go our way
To the den of vice we...

I've covered my face,
shyed away.
I have kept myself
from falling into just another display.
Just this one moment,
I let my guard down.
This moment's yield,
it shattered my crown.
Your smile lit up the room,
your eyes shimmered like candlelights,
and I...

Reflection of your moon

Silent night I hear you whisper…
Shadows of people in a moony night
Little houses lit by candlelights.

Tonight I am Vincent, I am as mad as can be...
and I’m painting your picture for everyone...

Life on Earth is like a burning candle:
When the flame dies, there's one to rekindle;
While it stands, we see our youthfulness,
Shedding light and melting as time passes;
And while the top is away from the base,
Exude...

Candlelights

By Mark D. Stucky
A candle drives darkness back
with beauty of glowing light,
giving of itself as flame’s fuel
until completing its calling.
Then another candle takes its place…
and then another… and another…
Flickering but enduring,
a shimmering succession
persists while darkness...
