OPINIONS



Opinions,
Like stars,
Are extinguished
When 
The sun of knowledge
Shines!

as rain extinguished embers
of the long day's city heat
blurred traffic light reflections 
painted puddles on the street.

R U Lonesome Tonight

When Elvis looked like a balloon 
It seemed he would pop very soon
He took many pills
To conquer his ills
But the "cure" extinguished his croon

  apocalyptically...
the candle extinguished
  what was that

Remains of the Fire

Embers extinguished
Spiritual fire remains
Wind catches the remnants
Never to be fully brought back
Allow thyself to prosper
Or thou shall never be free

YOUR EYES


The sun turns pale
The moon loses its brightness
The stars are extinguished
Before the splendor of your
Eyes!

Is she a zombie...
Her eyes are vacant; her heart's
   fire extinguished, brittle ash

   Hush! She approaches
expressionless, gliding through
   a different dimension

This Heart Is a Lamp

Enabling light
Still, burning bright
This heart
Shall not
Be extinguished
Oh, sweet lamp
We hold
You up
To this 
Dark night
This heart
Is a lamp
To see
The world

Young Apathy

Deep scent of ennui
touches the young
who refuse to see
the beauty around them.
Time reined in the Muses,
put out the flame of the bards,
and extinguished awe of science.

Premium Member Just Another Flame

(I Was) Just Another Flame

I needed a friend
Someone close to rely on
But i became more
Entwined in burning embers
Till you extinguished your love.

Premium Member Enlightenment

The dawn of true liberation
Is the timeless moment 
When the delusion of duality
Has been completely extinguished. 

And then?

Whatever the next moment brings.

Imperfect

Indented by harsh waves
Injured by cold sharp rocks
Inflicted by failures
Irate at injustice
I come to you naked
Indolent, extinguished
Illuminate me Lord

The sun turns pale,

The moon loses its brightness,

And the stars are extinguished

Before 

The splendor of a blessed soul!

The Doldrums

Depression is expression extinguished
It doesn't question and it doesn't distinguish
Through its progression hope is relinquished

Trump Surrounded By Sckepticism

Trump Surrounded by Skepticism


Trump was surrounded by skepticism;
Then after he would initiated a schism,
He did attrack,
A heart attack,
That was extinguished by an embolism.

Divinity

She is divinity, a holy flame that shall never be extinguished. A pristine being, in spirit and truth. An undying soul, spreading the pollen from her flowers, her petals soaked in the water of life.

I have every intention of killing you
In the name of Love
I will not harm you
But my Love extinguished your last preceded thought
Your life will not be yours
It will not be Mine
It will be Ours.
