the storm came -
   doors were closed and 
   candles flickered...

the old lighthouse beamed
the moon flickered o'er the waves ~~
dolphins danced in mirth

It's all about  
The last drop of sunlight
That flickered in your eyes
And trickled down
my cheeks.
In departure....

Candles flickered faint
Sistine Chapel he did paint
Though he was no saint

Sun flickered 'pon your eyes
    scintillating as the seas,
dappled with the chemistry
   of a thousand swooning moons...

As you smiled your eyes held mine and glittered-
my heart flipped and love flickered

Grumbling as my technicolor life halts with the current,
Embracing your flickered laughter in candlelight conversation;
Descended in darkness, I notice true light flows from you....

we saw through camouflaged intent
our heart’s nonchalance surprised us
we smiled, space flickered in applause
there was no need, life’s but a dream
wherein all that matters is love...

lightning quick swirls, twirls, dots and dashes flickered and flashed
the gypsy’s frenzied dancing was felt by everyone in the room.
such passion! Such flair, such fire! She seemed combustible....

Flickered fingers;
Can't dial ringers;
Telephone calls;
Babies cry and crawls;

what do you do?
what do you do?
When their diapers fall?...

A candle flickered when you gone
Announcing that you passed away
To the world when no one come back
Leaving a sorrow that instill to the mind
The walls that witnessed your departure

It played over and over
each note weaving 
entwined
a subtle reverberation
of romance
belleza en belleza
woman & man
hearts tripped the night
luminous silhouettes flickered
burning in candlelight...

once upon a night, a dark starless sky...way before time....I, without eyes,saw
you,in my mind...To think is knowing...therefor it is...and we became...a light flickered
on....blinding rainbow of color...Once upon a night......

Bird at open window
Soft  Summer  rain
Leaf flickered teardrops
Life slipping down
To nurture the ground
As I sit here groping
Hoping to find
Wording of moment
To  picture in kind
How all is encircled
And loving entwined...

we ran gleefully

chasing the summer’s fireflies

putting them in jars. . . 

those warm nights of our childhood -

they flickered, and then were gone

Without pause, she chased questions beyond shifting, twilight moods. 
A flickered breath, an emblazoned soliloquy drifted aflame,
Later, I showered her with temples of candlelight and roses

The sun lit up the leaves
Like a lightbulb in the trees
As they flickered in the breeze
Nature danced to please

Peaceful sounds could be heard
Along with a happy bird
A musical concert without a word
Calmed the stress, to be cured

Stars

                            Flickered

                             Timidly 

                         Before setting 

                                Sun!

Flickered cigarette, 

Angst you wish not to covet


Confounded expectations,

Gust of disappointments and frustrations.


Knew better not to ask, 

Of that worn out stoic mask. 


Weary eyes you don't need to hide,

Innate emotions few wouldn't mind....

Let’s see how long the electricity stays.
The lights have flickered
once.
But the wind still blows
and I expect twice to happen tonight.

Nature inspires verse with a touch of fright
that’s joy to compose.
Dunce.
Thrill and Risk bickered
with Sense over loyalty of my ways....

Hair the shade of fire
Flaring like a spire
Over the sad space
Of her gypsy face:
Candle colored red
Burning down and dead.

Candle in a breeze
Of eternities,
Edna flickered faint,
Charring like some martyred saint
Scarlet at the stake,
Embered… for art’s sake....

Heard geese flying
Through northern light.
Seen the moonlight
Shimmering on the river.
The glow of the islands
From the big lights of a field.
People wandering the street,
Streetlight nearby me flickered
Brighter as I stood there.
Suddenly, I felt all the less alone....

Love in all it's glory shone
It sparkled devinely
Making gestures of romance
Towards an ever fleeting glance
The heart flickered 
Eyelids blinking 
Gentle movement swaying
Lips oh yes! Lips
Melting moments
Dreams flying
Deep looks intensify
Sensual touch
Together
Sigh...

The silkiness
Of these bubbles
The flickered light
OF these candles
The soft hum
Of music in my ears
Moments like these,
Moments that are
Purely Mine
Only I can feel
No one can take
These from me
No one can understand
Them the same way 
As I
cherish these because
They are seldom
To come...

i reminisce on the day you passed
our starlight dimmed and flickered 
some sang
morning came
days,weeks passed
and those that were on the frontline
forgot
songs didn't cease
but actions proved wrong

now it's been 10 years
they mock at your memory
my people keep on gettin poor....
