The Impermanence of Vitality

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

tea

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

An open secret

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

Zen mode

spacial stillness 
a tumbler falls
space flickers
sensing bliss squalls 

we witness
heartbeats born
God waves a wand
ushering dawn

The Light Flickers

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

Live Light

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

Sensous Brown Eyes




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

Dilemma

space flickers
light soft white
shimmering

what we see
others don’t 
what to do

let’s bury
such secrets
in our heart

Young Love

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

moon flickers still pond
delirious dragonflies
fallen leaves ripple

Least Spend Treasured Seconds

As the candle slowly burns until the faintest light flickers to the end, so does the human soul cease to exist. 6/30/2017

Violets

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.

Candlestick

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

A Candle Ever Flickers In the Night

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

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.

Snow

cotton hills rise up
to clasp the colorful sky ---
melt into failure 

freezing soon again
flickers into silver foils ---
fluorescent earth

Hopes and Dreams Fade the Same

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

Destiny's Candle

     A new candle flickers and grows
        Yet its flicker is fitful
     Soon it will flicker and fade

        Between its flickers
          its legacy’s made

Full Flattery

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.

Quiet Triumph

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

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

Forever A Moment

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
