Sunbathing martyrs
Bask in the inclination
Of August sunlight---
Alms of sunrays penetrate
Extinguishing the sunblock.

Sorry is the coolest word to utter,
Extinguishing the tension of the mind;
The anger and hate are both left behind,
As the hot atmosphere becomes better.

Enclosed Rhyme
Tonight,
I embrace the life of fight,
Gripping what is in sight,
And extinguishing the existence of light.
Tomorrow,
I am sorrowful
Regretful
And no longer powerful

in the bushes black
and white

light darkness spread i
am lost in the

I do not know?
Fog from age settles in
Like a gloaming of night
Smothering from within
Extinguishing all light

Rhyme
Our words seethe like fire;
Crackling as we watch them blaze
Into a burning smoke of anger
Till the quiet of midnight cools,
Extinguishing what we had fed.

Verse
When democracy ignites,
This spiritual flame burns bright
Then, fresh wings take flight
Soaring through day and night
Brings evil men and distorted winds
Extinguishing freedom’s light

The air will be warm, like body heat
The Sun will set and the Moon will rise
Ideas expanding, controversy extinguishing
A reformed landscape
In which to walk
Made from within

over six feet deep and rising
this water doesn't flow
as the rain continues to fall
I get caught in the undertow
I am in way over my head
the pump works way too slow
once more I slip down
extinguishing the afterglow

Verse
Where are we headed, is a silver lining in sight
At the current pace, we'll be over the precipice before night
It's already dusk
Smarten up we must
Before a certain lunatic precipitates an extinguishing of the lights

Limerick
The sun is shining on High
Whilst every throat is bone-dry
Though water is sought
There's none to be bought
Our eyes are too dry to cry
*Much of the nation's fresh water
resources will be spent this summer
extinguishing wildfires

Limerick
New wings to don, my love has gone
To happy new home he has earned.
I need to dry the tears I cry,
Cheer with him for his grand new life.

"Death is not extinguishing a light.
It is putting out the lamp because a new day has come."

Rhyme
How veracious this despair in my wretched hole;
A mass of rosy red once filled, emptied! Masticating me whole.
Collapsing within and imploding without. Skinless in icy cold.
Extinguishing my Sun, leaving me only in darkness so bold. Behold!

Love breathes,on everyday life
...extinguishing anger's strife
Love awaits another's call
...lies patient in us all
Love creates a whispered word
...as romance's voice is heard
Love kisses emotion's tide
...hearts opening wide
Love ignites passion's fire
...releasing mutual desire

Extinguishing is
The humanity with the
Cataclysms that are
Destroying ecosystem
Planet fauna and flora
Famine and wars rob
Thousands of precious lives in
A blink of an eye
Exterminating humans
With a great grade of nonsense

My heart has accepted every piece of furniture
you have brought in and hoarded, polished and stored,
for show or hidden in the attic of cerebral storage.
Cobwebs draped the entrances I walked through
without wincing, chasing extinguishing light…
gold tarnishing possibilities that I found invaluable.

I wash my face,
The beginning of the cleansing ritual, the preface.
I wash my hands,
Clean them from all they withstand.
I wash my hair,
As water runs through, nothing can compare.
I wash my arms,
Extinguishing the fires of sin and harm.
I wash my feet,
And praise God for this sacred retreat.

Bliss pulsates in our head ovoid,
love’s pristine essence, unalloyed,
looping form over front and back,
extinguishing feeling of lack,
as soma nectar feeds our soul,
borne of divine grace we extol,
felt within as magnetic heat,
suffusing us from head to feet.

The watchful smile withers away,
His abandoned post welcomes all to stray,
Repressed skeletons wade through plagued by a horrific cringe,
So ink filled by an emotional syringe,
Dispenses color across this stale page,
Extinguishing this manifesting rage,
Reorganizing my closet once more,
Mending the pieces of my shattered core.

When the sun dips down into yesterday's oblivion
When the darkness creeps in
Extinguishing happiness, denying any hope,
You find your way.
Guided by the pale glow of the moonlight
And led by the stars of those long dead
Your trained eyes never stray from the never-ending horizon
Where the flickers of light begin to show.
Keep watching
Hope is in sight.

Prose Poetry
sometimes, good things pass
spilling like wine from a glass
you hurry to contain it too fast
and you miss the drops on the tile
although, I take it slow
looking for secrets of you I don't know
the extinguishing inner glow
disguised by moonlight
reflecting on what I see
and all you've given to me
doubt now plants a seed
in a vision that was perceived

Chasing stars
Aligned with brilliance
Forging hearts
In stormy signatures
Rain falls as reverence
Wetting the face of forgiveness
Extinguishing the fire of this soul’s madness
That drifts into the midnight hour
Where darkness searches for light
My blood flows red and alive
Awaiting

That ether of life from which human beings and dreams are made of,
covers my fingertips as if scratching the universe and making some stars fall from their obscure space,
it drips as rigglets forming poodles at my feet,
as every dream that fell at mid flight,
as everydream shining like a star and is in rigglets just laying there,
extinguishing in anguish.
