Long Relit Poems

'Twas a sound I thought alarming, most assuredly disarming;
Up I rose from peaceful slumber to discern what it might be.
While my candle flickered, wavered; whilst my heartbeat halted, quavered,
At my window I was favoured by...

I had seen the train leave the station.

I had said goodbye, for the last time.

A cold day in autumn, I decided to do some cleaning.

Putting summer away, preparing for winter.

I found a grey woolen hat,...

votes as an observation and not a political declaration.
A few years out of date now but perhaps still fresh

Hired first as your band's assistant
Adonis with bonus warmest manner
Smile left me gooey, I couldn't resist it
Fluent guitar fingers sparked my enamour

Liasing with music gurus was realms apart
From routine of home, single Mom of two

What is the main difference
and primary points of comparison
between being inductively seductive
and becoming deductively submissive?

Between being illusive
and becoming illusioned?

Between being deluded

and becoming relit?

Between...

The native American and the paleface
Each claiming ownership over the place
For three hundred years they’d been fighting the fight
But peace would be parleyed later that night

I FELL TODAY

I fell today
As the lights over Europe dimmed
To a whisper;

Swallowed by waxen candle light
The tallowed flicker

When I was 20, I met  men a plenty
And I made a match with as many
As I could
And all the while my face split
With snotty trails of my travails

My face, my hands, my ears, 
Wet blowing snowflakes, chilly white, 
That to my eyes brought tears. 
I was outside hanging lights 
That would in darkness glow 
And with...

A funny thing happened 
On the way to the dance 
An hot ash from my cigar 
Fallen onto my pants
 
Driving in my car
A fast fifty five 
I lost control of the wheel
Thank god, I'm...

A light from another system
Sits effortlessly in the world 
The light which emits much joy
That which burns like a torch 
        In those savvy

The light lifts luminously

Let The World See. 

He stalks the night, especially towards dawn; 
extinguish and collects light. 
 Sometimes when there has been a car accident or 
a bomb has exploded,
 you can see his shadow on...

Re: Ring of power
 
Ring of power enhances it,
Gives it volume quite a bit,
  bigger, a nice snug fit,
 give me all, don't u quit

 Obsession comes when you hit gold,
big and hard: I'm...
