Relighting Poems | Examples

In A Flash

Relighting my spark, 
I'm igniting the dark, 
Embarking on a journey, 
That could end in a gurney, 
Turning the key, 
So you can see me, 
Eternity set free, 
Lighting up the world around me, 
Bound by gravity, 
A soul stuck in a cavity, 
Deep beneath layers of being, 
The dark is fleeing, 
Releasing it's hold, 
The lessons are gold, 
To behold the power, 
Of this blooming flower, 
Opens up to devour your attention, 
It's illuminating ascension, 
Through my best intentions, 
An invention so pure, 
You'll remember who you were.

Caught In The Glow

Do you like
knowing
or the idea
of knowledge
The pretense
of perception
or a wellspring
sublime

Political
correctness
or the search
for a moonbeam
Relighting
your way
as you glow
— in its shine

Lighting Tomorrow

Memory’s
lantern
near empty
unfilled

Each night
in the darkness
to flicker 
until

Your eye
without warning
a flash
unexplained

Forever
relighting
and fanning
— the flame

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)


Shamal Winds

Lost
in the deepest
recesses of myself
And happier
than I have
any right to be
The hidden
regions
my newfound oasis
A Bedouin
convert
— home among the sands

(The New Room: June, 2025)

Infestation

The American Dream
becoming
a nightmare ...
Conscripted
by strangers
new thieves in the night
Usurping
our freedoms
embedded among us
Invested in nothing
but
— what they can steal

(University Of Pennsylvania: June, 2025)


Leaving The Noise

He came into
silence
like fish
take to water

The only thing
constant
his being
alone

To wander
the alleys
of quiet
reception

The noise
and confusion
for others
— to drone

(The New Room: June, 2025)

Home Is Here In Me

I lost so many days,
Trudging through that battle field,
Struggling under the weight of armour,
Tired of putting up my shield.

Precious time lost stuck in turmoil,
Always at war with my mind,
Looking for a way to take control,
Seeking the peace I craved to find.

I chose to take the torch,
Relighting the spark burnt out inside,
Fuelling a brand new way of life,
One that I now live with pride.

No longer a hostage of my history,
Taking the pen to write my own story,
As I live, present and in the moment,
For the first time ever, I feel free.

I'm still a work in progress,
Piece by piece, slowly becoming whole,
But self acceptance now fills my heart,
A warming glow now lines my soul.

For years I thought I was lost,
Convinced that's how it'd always be,
Until I became confident in my authenticity,
Realising all along, that, home is here in me.

Ashes

Sifting through the ashes,

Hoping I will find,

The part of me, I left behind.

Amidst the scorched corners of my mind,

Embers of my memories shine.

Ancestors of the Divine,

Wandering endlessly,

Existing for centuries.

A revealing history,

Shrouded in mystery,

Hiding the truth,

Embrace your divinity.

Love, and Dignity,

Was how it used to be.

such a beautiful sight to see,

so many flames,

Burning so Brightly.

A nature so friendly and free,

Co existing peacefully.

A Life lived abundantly,

was our true reality.

Then with some trickery,

Came the material misery,

Separating you and me.

Suffocating our society,

With it's distracting variety,

Robbing us of our Energy.

Smoldering and molding the Truths,

Their hand In all we believe,

Their only aim to Deceive,

So we never achieve,

Oneness,

Wholeness.

Stop this whole mess.

Sift through your Ashes,

Find the Glow,

Now Blow!

Watch the winds of change,

Come and rearrange what you Know.

Relighting your flame,

So we can end this Game.

All Praise, In "your" Creators Name,

Eternity Burns

Apocalypse kindles    
relighting the fire
Malignant denominators
melt from above
Savior disdained 
pontificate’s stain 
Tomorrow endemic
— in nuclear love 

(The New Room: March, 2024)

Offloaded Clean

What is the age of reality
how many birthdays is that

Peaked hats and streamers wrapping the truth
candles relighting the facts

Wishing for the ultimate void
our consciousness offloaded clean

Clearing the way for the square root of now
—its present regifting the dream

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)

Relighting Wet Wood

Relighting Wet Wood
(Remembering Mister B.)
By: Miracle Man
August 23, 2020

 Anger’s fumes influenced his steps,
and his thoughts were poisoned by the residue of daily events.
Too much of his life, was spent trying to rekindle a campfire, 
and relighting wet wood with gofer matches became an endless task.

He believed life’s destination was most important
but most didn’t see that he wasn’t enjoying the journey.
Perhaps his time would have better been spent
searching out another campsite?

While voices whispered to him from the shadows,
that he should have remained a man alone,
he remembered a vow, “for better or worse”,
then struck another match.

Winds Tied Up My Lover

The embrace scratches my soul
She is holding on for dear life
My bruised ego pushes her off
The hurt is swallowed like a pill

Them lies did us in eventually
The bloodied vision my fate
The rain beating us so heavily
Lightening severing my soul...
Levitating spinning journeying 

Then love I divorced  from my heart
This me will only use my head I swore
My heart is not a plaything dear I cursed
To be tossed without a single iota of care

I dare not give in to the bite again
Lest I do fall backwards like One Adam
Under them tempting claws of Lilith...
Enchantress devouring humanity in Me

Even as I fathom the me turning dark
Crying out for most beautiful love... Eva
Relighting the flames of eternity in me
I let my sword fall limp on my cold hand

Beloved one warming my cold dark spine
Colors sprung and gardens gained sparks
The ethos of love created In me a paradise
Blooms of carnations, scents of lavender

Paradise is now found do allow the access
Seraphi let me, bowing over flaming blades
Where is that tree of life that I may now bite
Is it immortality that I now seek in earnest
Son of the light then gathered to my Creator

For My Muse

So easily we slipped,
falling into familiar patters and dances.
You took my hand, 
asking to lead me.
I pulled away,
my mind still cluttered,
with things I never deserved.

How could you ask these things of me?
These little things,
trust and happiness,
so foreign to me.
You promise nothing that isn't possible,
no moon and stars,
just safety and warmth.

Gently yet forcefully,
you took me from what I knew,
without my permission,
you took my heart from behind its walls.
I don't know how you did this to me,
turned my life inside out and shook out the pain.

Relighting the candle I thought I destroyed,
I stand in awe of you.
Indebted to you.
I find that the only currency I can offer you is my heart,
and I can only hope you keep it safe in payment.

Teasing Tankas

Before my eyes blink
In rays of a waking day
I can see you smile
As my arms gently embrace
Another night spent with you.

My lips can still taste
The passion found in your heart
Relighting embers
Of my own sensual hunger
As I move into your kiss

I know your essence
The scent of your love lingers
From my dreams each night
My hand reaches the pillow
But you are no longer there.

My Thoughts

every once in awhile
a small piece slips through
stirring the ashes
relighting the thoughts
kindling something that wasn’t 

sun shines on dew droplets
caught in a web of deceit
too many to count
too many to forget
too many memories

Elements

Winds return what we had spoken
Planting life where things were broken
Forgotten truths and long-lost questions
Winds returning, we’ve awoken

Waters gather every wisdom
Its rhythm whispers past decisions
Regret becomes a passive memory
As water reflects one true vision

Earth surrounds our deepest reason
Nurturing and changing season
Home is where our hearts can’t fail
Earth forgives our every treason

Fires breathe in every karma
Relighting ways and testing armour
Its flame reminds us of our chaos
Fires that warm are our true power

The elements of all connection
Are every reason we know redemption
The cycle of the things we take in
Are the elements that bring ascension

Wraith

THe House of seven gables and Wuthering Heights,
the places where you spend 
all your days and your nights
looking for Heathcliff
out on the moor
through the dark heather ,you search evermore
a thick ray of darkness
covers your face
I search every night but I just find the place
full of rubble and shingles
and blistered black bones
I know you're here somewhere,
bereft and alone
Jane Eyre would have wept
for your sorrowful plight
the victim of love
so far out of the light,
weeping and wailing,
I hear and respond
I follow your tears to the edge of the dawn
wraith in the moonbeams
cast through the walls
what's left of the mansion
hears your mournful calls
seeking a lover who never returns
relighting a fire that forever burns
If I ever find you I'll show you tomorrow
where true love will vanquish
your anguish and sorrow.
