(A lone elderly man holds his wife's hand, for maybe the last time, and whispers. As she sleeps)
Although your beauty may fade with age
My only love
Don't you dare leave me alone
Although the shadows like midday angels may slowly appear
Creeping in
Sent from above
To take you home
Although your smiles may diminish in numbers
As our old world slumbers
Although your inner sun
May have ebbed and lost its shine
With the passing of time
Although I may not say it often enough
Although my mind may be elsewhere
I do so love you
So try to lift up your tired heart, my love, and relight your fires
Try to erase the numbness to regain the sharpness
Ignore the changes with the turn of each of life's many pages
Although you may think you've lost your inner shine
Carry this wondrous prose, just deep within that beautiful mind
A simple thought I just send
From me to you
My love
For this is not the end
Only our new beginnings
To start winning
Hold my hand
Tighter
Show me you're still mine
Surreptitiously, beyond all the grayest of skies
For I am yours forever, beyond what people might say and conspire
And here I still stand, with eyes glazed lit
Like the first day I met you
Still under your mesmerising power
Lips pursed, looking for my own loving nurse
To ignite my fires
For I breathe in your shadows
Walk in your footsteps, just craving to stop your tears
As surely as the Lord wept
May you always be mine, my divine gift
Whose Love bestows my life with so much happiness and bliss
For if you leave me now
Wilting alone, if you go home
I'll cry
And inside
You'll leave me alone to slowly wither and die
So fight my love
Fight to live
For together,
We still have so much more to share and give
(Man bows and kisses his wife's soft hands as her tired eyes slowly open)

I'm taking a leap with my both feet
Without no shoe's to spare my soul's
And if I land on unkempt ground
I am bound to find I am barely able
to walk let alone manage baby steps
or stand erect
But this i knew before I and yet still
I did
Due to the fact way deep down obviously
i was terminally unfulfilled
In what and who I had become
Until one day I eventually realized I hadn't
woken up and seen the sun blinding in
quite a long while
So dank and bleak I thought the sun
had just lost it's shine and because of my
current disposition
I had simply failed to pay attention let
alone care to notice
The streets where totally abandoned there
was no signs of life all buildings and home's
we're boarded up
Apart from the shoe store stacked to
the rafters with all kinds of different
Boot's
In a multitude of sizes and range of
plush leather from the crocodile of
the Nile cobra snake to the buffalo
rodeo cow
Problem is though I landed on my feet
the street below me hadn't been swept
in a long while
And it was full of discarded shattered
shard's of broken bottle glass
Which are now firmly imbedded into
the soul's of my feet
So walking now is out of the question and
if I try to crawl
I will only end up with glass not only in
my hands but also in my feet as well
So here I still having pondered this
conundrum for quite a while
No further along nor closer to where
I need to be although in my mind's eye
I can the light through see
And do I now regret and wish I had
not leapt well maybe yes
But come to think of it it's in actual
fact both pointless and irrelevant
Because cold hard reality is it isn't
going to help or about to change
What's done is done like it or not
the sun isn't and never will be dark
What it means in actuality effect is this
The fire and light in your eyes has gone
out
Whether or not you can relight it or get
it back is solely up to you
And whether or not or how much fight
you have left possessed in you or you
want it to
Like words written into a heart so whole
I want to be written into your soul
Like loving memories washing like a tide
I want to be engraved in your mind
I want to wrap my hands around your heart
To take away the pain wouldn't be so hard
You are my beginning and my end
Your troubled soul i want to mend
Your tears i catch with my two cupped hands
and your fears i blow away like grains of sand
I will be there after every storm
Your personal rainbow when you have been torn
Let me into your depths allow me to relight your flame
Let my fingers stroke your heart and dust away the pain
Let me be the one to cradle your dreams
and sow you back together seam for seam
You are written into my soul
Engraved in me like words on a stone scroll
I am yours for forever and a day
Take my hand and well forever together stay
Run for the hills, just pack up and go,
Today, right now, right here,
Turn off the net, hop in the car,
And slowly just disappear,
From the world of plain, go to the beach,
To the waves where each is anew,
Let every small wave roll over your feet,
Every wave that comes from the blue,
Bringing a healthy revive, energise and restore,
To relight your emotional flame,
Just let the waves keep breaking over your skin,
Removing the tired old same.
Then, after a night, return to your home,
Without the hurt, pain and ache,
Return back to your world of living with fire,
With a colourful vibrant awake.
Lighting A Fire
Bic
Light it, the fire
It's burning desire
Desire to be lit,an endless flicker
Like a time clock quite the ticker
I'm yearning, it's burning
The whole flame
You can out it out
It will change
Have you ever lit a grill
With the coals
Did you ever know that you had control
You can put vinegar and water
On it and it will calm down
That's what happens
When you light the fire
What if it were to rain
Would the flame still be lit
What if you wanted something so bad
You would do anything to have it
Light it, even when it's dim
Light it, when the tunnel is cold
Light it,Because it's in you
Light it for all you've been through
Light it until the flame is out
Then relight it that's what it's all about

What sorcery is afoot in the woods on this October night?
I stir a few embers, and relight myself
The humans asleep or dead, I don’t care which
I am alive, a fire phoenix, replenishing my absoluteness
An owl hoots a warning, trying to wake them up
I begin to dance, as warmth spreads throughout my timbers
Sure, you thought I was dead, but surprise.
I am replenishing myself, understanding no one else will
Sparks! A joy overtakes me as hope and optimism arrive
A flash of yellow, on her way to becoming full out red.
A flame. I scream with happy pops and smacks.
Bam! I am once again a full blown blaze.
Why do these campers never put me out completely?
Do I care? I am leaping, lunging, laughing, loving myself.
My yellows and oranges are dazzling the entire forest.
My flame shadows light up the tents of the sleeping.
I am mystical, magical, ethereal, an alchemist, a sorcerer.
How will they react when they realize I have again
Forsaken them, and burned up another forest thanks to them?
I am impassioned, alive, a full blown pyromaniac of a fire!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whilst an ivory sky, my mast ignite.
As tidal waves flicker in sparks that gleam.
Igneous scarlet pyres still blazing night.
The amber sparks hover in swooping sight.
Amid thunder, boisterous shivers scream.
Whilst an ivory sky, my mast ignite.
The limestone chunks resemble carved calcite.
With furnace flames in phosphorous agleam.
Igneous scarlet pyres still blazing night.
As I gaze upward, pitch and haze relight.
Steadfast, I plunge where evil spirits teem
Whilst an ivory sky, my mast ignite.
Rancid stench of the city stinks of blight.
Above lagoons, as muddy smog or steam.
Igneous scarlet pyres still blazing night.
A phoenix amidst the fire, set alight.
overhauled from ashen sidle, wings' dream
Whilst an ivory sky, my mast ignite.
Igneous scarlet pyres still blazing night.
I can't afford to quit,
And sure have had enough of it,
So I sit writing these words.
I feel we are turds in a bowl,
Being flushed down a hole,
All because money took control.
Now I roll along tuning my song,
Turning what's gone wrong,
Into something that feels right,
As I shed my light in the world.
Moving toward my graduation,
My infatuation is in the end,
Where I can bend time,
Start again,
Over and over until I win.
The only sin is not believing in you,
The only true thing here,
It's not clear because of fear,
Whispering in you ear,
Telling you where to steer.
It's time to veer off track,
Take your power back,
Lack is just a mentality,
Meant to keep the totality,
Totally unaware of their relation,
To a creation so complex,
We keep cashing their checks.
Buying into personal projects,
As we project what they want to see,
Destroying our right to be free,
Take it from me,
There's more then what you see.
Take a moment to be,
Breathe in eternity,
Release the need to fight greed,
Your attention tightens the lead.
A seed planted deep in your core,
Is driving you to acquire more,
While leaving litter on the floor,
Of the world you came to explore.
I can't take it no more,
You're in store for a surprise,
Now I see with clear eyes,
My disguise has lifted.
We are the gifted,
Now shifting into gear,
Clearing away the clutter,
Muttering words of courage.
Your age doesn't matter,
Battered and bruised,
We are all confused,
By the way we are being abused.
Used to the way things are,
We forgot how far we can go,
Now chasing our shadow,
We look for the glow,
The final blow.
The show must end,
So humanity can mend,
Seeing each other as friends,
I'm sending messages from home.
Roaming the internet,
Is a small freedom I get,
To spread out the alphabet,
Wetting the collective whistle,
With a thistle in the skin.
Now let all that sink in,
I'm thinking about change,
A strange way to relight your flame,
Try to rearrange the game,
Knowing it's the reason I came.
Life will never look the same,
When you take away the frame.
Take me deep into the night
Give your soul felt feelings sight
Comfort me, make my heart light
As I embrace your vocal plight
Sitting alone in my bedroom chair
Forgetting all of my worldly cares
Close my eyes, you're standing there
Disrobing my conscience, completely bare
In your voice I feel your pain
Food for thought left not in vain
Telling my story in each refrain
There are no rules to this sad game
Carry me to our special place
Strum your words across my face
Dry my tears, leave not a trace
Revive those dreams I've laid to waste
You're the one I always choose
I can relate, I've worn those shoes
When daily life starts to confuse
You heal me while you sing the blues
Strike your match, relight my flame
Enrich my life, relieve the strain
You left too soon, It's such a shame
Rest in peace, Sweet Etta James
an originaal poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
I’ve loved your face, night and days of changing milk rays
Sighs in blue and black, of times gone back; now so slack
Love surely does wane, then mind’s sane…what’s to regain?
And the road, in dirt’s goad climbs winding pigsty mode
New moon midnight, holds tight a dark that can’t relight
Damned are the seeds, as they’ve turned to weeds: What inbreeds!
Mother who never did bother to write further
Only too late, her full fate, was father’s sad state
Oh lies have made me cry, but truth, is fair skies
No more half turns, I have learned, those tides I will spurn.
