dusk has closed the day

into night, with lowered lids

the moon a flashlight...

Without a flashlight, 
he makes sure that he is back 
at camp by nightfall....

The flashlight was too dark to be noticed
And the passion was too young to die forever...

Like a big flashlight
bright beam,peering through the clouds,
             full moon overhead......

A glint dim light
Peeks in midnight
A flashlight sign

The ad said this flashlight is “BRIGHT”!
So I bought it for my campsite!
   On the beach it's turned on
   But ... the “brightness” is gone
Maybe it’s better at … night?...

Ship in the sky
Since I have your attention
Are you from another planet
or another dimension?

And why me
did you come down and spy?
Was it because my flashlight
shining in the sky?...

I grab my flashlight
woman being killed in woods
my husband stops me

he knows animals
irritating me greatly
mountain lion cry

if you ever hear
scream of woman being killed
its mountain lion...

She said,
"Darkness bores my soul"
Give me 
the bright 
the light
the white
But 
I don't think that's right. 
I've written poetry that was beautiful.  
in a hurricane by flashlight...

I am a book nerd he said. All day and all night.
I read under my covers with a worn-out flashlight.
My mother and father say, “stop reading that book!”
But I hide inside the closet, it is my own little nook.

Stars are our nightlights
Glowing and illuminating the dark night
Like a brightly lit flashlight.

Stars come out and play
Twinkling twinkling as they may
Like diamonds strung against the pitch-black night
Shining shining
Until they fade out....

Ah! Drop your prejudice and hear
I lost my love, fortnights ago
My weeping tears dried-up
Searching for my last name.
With solo flashlight wandering 
Among scattered droplets of war.

A splash of gold
lines the doors to her soul

Intelligence burning
like a flashlight
through a keyhole
into a dark room.

Wrinkly nose reflex
when you score a hit
and your minds sing together

Her voice her voice her voice
captured, a poor portrait

of a goddess....

Don't you see laughing with eyes like the light from a gazing flashlight? The prodigious dovetail grey muk reverberates and quivers as it lives and breaths. My oh my see to it opens up showing a birthed being neither man nor woman they come from the other side. This is the old and now the new....

The guiding touch,
The leading hand,
The flashlight,
The listening ear,
The observing eyes,
The compassionate.

Mother’s touch,
Nothing else is needed,
Where love lives,
Is where a mother resides,
Where the table is set,
Is where the mother chauffeurs the home.

Heart stopping scream.
Permeates the woods.
A woman being murdered.

I grab my flashlight.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
I glare at my friend.

A woman is being killed.
I am going to save her.
That was a bobcat, she says.

I come right back to the deck.
There are no more screams
But yips of coyotes....

It's a couple of hours into the early morning.
A television station gives its viewers a warning:
The channel is signing off the air
to the tune of a rocket's red glare, 
and bombs bursting in air.
It's time to turn off the TV, and grab my flashlight.
I must walk the area to see all is right.

Indigo blue skies, against a green horizon,
fading into black.
Flashlight against my back;
my grey debate, following a dirtroad path.
I watch as my future becomes my past.
Nothing but my mood and my music full blast
Aquiring lessons, I project what I have
Upon your silhouette I cast 
an image that you are reflecting back...

When the bed creaks and the mattress rises
It is time
Not a hint of animosity of being ripped away
From nights cocoon
In darkness thumping rythmic tail
Clothes doned in hast
Leash, poop bag, flashlight
Dog
Before dawn's birthing frog and bird sing in 
unison.
Refreshed and appreciative of small dog 
bladder
The neighborhood is ours...

Every ounce of sacrifice you offered along the way
Like a flashlight guiding us on our darkest journeys
Looking for our way to get out on our destination
Even providing us the company all along
No other to describe a mother's love such as you do for us.

Thanks for being there for us, Mom. :)

The snow covered mountain shimmers in the bright sunlight
While the birds take flight for greater heights
Its quite a sight while the winter cold tries to bite
No need to be in fright for the inevitable night
Wont need a flashlight for all the black and white
For there will be a line of sight thanks to the moonlight

A night of sorrow; I see so 
many stars 
but none so bright, a night so 
dark, no flashlight 
no compass no way to find my 
candle in the sky.
Today I lost you hiding in my 
blackest night,
alone with no guide. I'll 
remember you bright,
but your absent light will 
sorrow my everynight.
I lost the light of you in the 
night sky, 
not my dream of you so bright...

Carve out my arms and chest
The aching loss my forearms face
Hands lifted up to a god
Who stole the soul of an empty case

Shine a flashlight through the gap
Or into a hollow statue chest
Porcelain delicate echoing sounds
Pulled out and up to eternal rest

Hear me crying in the night
For I have lost my soul
Fill my arms and chest again
Please, just make me whole...
