it always brightened his mood
but then one time
he ate a lime
and it left him feeling quite shrewd!...

brightened  by thoughts of eden
just a delusion.

lost in reverie
losing real concentration
only just a dream....

Yet cracks and stabs lace the cover.
The cracks
   they widen'till the blue emerged,
The rays from spots brightened....

no life so dark
that it cannot be brightened
by the Son.

Nor man so blind
as one who
refuses to see.

Nor sin so great
as contempt for God....

and developed a case of the blues: 
  He heard he was out
  He was ready to pout--
When he brightened: "It must be fake news!"...

Oh sweet angel, God took you too soon.
You brightened my day; you lit up my night,
And even in the heavens, you’ll be my guiding light....

T'was so unaware.
The tender kiss, 
Expressed with such care.
Brightened my life;
Hence sought an encore.
When love conquered me...
Love, I was for....

The morning light
brightened my
window which had been
dark all night as 
I had slept.

The morning light
darkened my
life which had been
bright all night as 
I had dreamed....

And the sky brightened and the moon sang songs.
The mood setting fraught with many more wrongs.
Anne wore dark sunglasses.
Music’s like molasses.
The full moon kept her up all night long.

Ageless sky looks down
With wisdom ungiven
How many have walked where I have been
Whose eyes have brightened at discoveries I thought were made anew
Silver stars that watched, so too
Will see me pass through...

Each day, my world is brightened beyond imagination
I look for her words
They touch a nerve
They exude love and friendship with much dedication...

I'd have a galaxy at hand like a universal buffet
Making me overexcite
To my taste bud's delight
The limit of the universe is bigger than Bombay...

Goodbye Stephen, you brightened our way 
With lyrics  that said what we couldn’t say,
With music that touched our spirit, our soul, 
You picked us up broken, put us back whole.

In the smile of the morning
Your sunrise came to mind
So delicate, so warming
So perfectly designed
In blue and pink it brightened
The eastern sky above
Til orange light replaced it
And sunshine turned to love...

brightened aura elates 

bliss throb through day and night
kiss divine brings delight

surrender shows the way
our heart glows, as we pray

S-hining moon in the sky
H-as brightened the night; 
E-vening tenth November
Y-earns to touch the light.

I-t carries no darkness, 
Y-ou notice the tide is high; 
A-llow your eyes to see the shining moon in the sky....

Flowers bloom in your smile
A heart is lightened
A face is crowned
A day is brightened
And colored with ease
Just because you smile at me.

One night, I dreamt of black tracks 
Yet I had no idea where they lay; to be frank

Suddenly, I see a train turning into dust
Vanishing into nature's crusts

A spotlight brightened my dream:
Desire rose to hold dear moments once more...

If you want to weep 
in any of the rooms 
of my empty heart,
Don’t worry
But feel free;
I know that the rooms
seem to be dreary,
Once you happen to be 
in one of them,
they will be brightened up
and you will feel fairly happy...

The season's first snowflakes fell
briefly,  for a moment.
They did not dwell.
The sky had brightened.
Sun shone on bitter cold.
Then they appeared,
Slowly drifting,
Teasingly,  to the ground.
The season's first snowflakes fell....

Sky as infinite as deep thoughts,
foaming sea emitting sparkles,
glances brightened by romance,
a sweet urge to dance...
enjoying the peace of late hours.

I opened the pages of my book of Nirvana
The enlightenment shines onto the ugliest heart of anaconda
And taming the fiercest fauna
Then everything is brightened up as the miraculous flora

If by chance we meet
On a star brightened night
When all the world is asleep
And the clouds have fled from sight.

When the universe seems endless
And your world is so sublime
We'll set and talk with each other
If our journeys cross in time....

Isolated like a star
Each soul stands so apart
It takes a trek across the void
To touch a single heart

I was drifting in the dark
You made that journey far
And opened up my heart again
And brightened up my star.

Thank you for reaching out....
