A man lives and a man dies,
A flame burns and soon flickers out,
And so goes the pattern of vitality.

the hearth flickers 'neath a pot
water swirls and tumbles round
dried leaves bloom within the clay
misty cup of calm

trail falling
across the plane
of ebony skies
flickers bright tones
then fades off
within
night

space flickers revealing light white
we see it but others do not
likewise rapture of bliss delight
to know the secret be self-taught

spacial stillness
a tumbler falls
space flickers
sensing bliss squalls
we witness
heartbeats born
God waves a wand
ushering dawn

if granted a boon
to have object of desire
seeking nothing else
holding thus our attention ...
fickle proves our devotion

night’s shroud drapes the woods
swarm of firefly swirls around
lattice of live light
flickers on black tapestry
stars twinkle in dense darkness

Beige , wide brimmed straw hat.
And flirting, brown eyes beneath.
Flickers of my past.

space flickers
light soft white
shimmering
what we see
others don’t
what to do
let’s bury
such secrets
in our heart

the stars are out and the night is young
candle light flickers in the gentle breeze
the night has only begun
as you kiss my lips then hand me your door keys

As the candle slowly burns until the faintest light flickers to the end,
so does
the human soul cease to exist.

Violets in my darkened room .
where only a stream of moonlight gets in,
The moon creeps around the sky.
A light flickers on ,far away from here,
in the night.

Burning orange,
Illuminating a spherical area,
Wherever settled,
Yellow flame flickers in the eve,
Before the wick withers to null,
And the candlestick dies.

I do not know?
A candle ever flickers in the night,
However far, however faint it be;
In cruelest darkness shall it burn most bright,
Until the sun shall come to set us free.

We are but moonbeams
cast from an eternal light,
on the crest of small waves--
flickers in vast oceans of time
each one shinning so briefly.

cotton hills rise up
to clasp the colorful sky ---
melt into failure
freezing soon again
flickers into silver foils ---
fluorescent earth

my dreams
tethered
on a string
of thoughts
hope flickers
beneath
clouded mind
wishes adrift
falling fast
on trails
of stars
then fading
within night

BURIAL OF DEVOTION
petulant his eyes
devotion to dear mother
forever in love
infatuation flickers
blue-diamond eyes slay him

A new candle flickers and grows
Yet its flicker is fitful
Soon it will flicker and fade
Between its flickers
its legacy’s made

It is you I am seeking for frost,
the icy balance to my flame;
Flow flickers into wildfire,
anchoring you to me;
Waltz of opposites,
full flattery
will upend
any
girl.

In broken silence,
a single breath rises--
flickers of hope through the cracks,
light spills where shadows clench
vigor birthed from the stillness,
victory whispered softly.

Little by little
The fish bowl evaporates
The candle flickers yet smaller
The gold fish skeleton
Stares at the burnt candle wick
No one notices
The old man
Died last week anyways

A veil of promise hides her blushing face
As she recites vows of loving promise
A candle of unity flickers upon a bouquet of flowers
As one rose is placed at the threshold of eternity
