Have any of you seen the YouTube clip where you can darken labels on Amazon packages with a lighter


….
Not of importance
But Amazon now have a new department
dealing with customers who set fire to their own packages

Into...

Into darkness, a sly descent....beacon of light obscured, but I remember the way home...I know 
I'll emerge, stronger, lighter, wiser.

Summer

Hair gets lighter,
Skin gets darker,
Water gets warmer,
Drinks get colder, 
Music gets louder,
Nights get longer,
Life gets better!

Premium Member Herb

As the flame of his lighter danced,
I was momentarily so entranced.
As I began to prepare my pipe,
For herb for I am so ready and ripe.

   Where were you when JFK was shot
      Who were you suing

      ~ his amygdala needs re-cuing

Cosmic Poetry

My mind is the center of a star
A nuclear fusion of ideas
The lighter atoms of the self
Are forced together
And become solid
And beautiful.

A Demon Called Deception

I run at the sight of a gun.
Our cute love
is like a lighter looking for forgiveness from the sun.
Every time I lie 
I'm just waiting to die.

Ashes to Ashes

For now I’ll whisper upon the past

To perhaps let some hardness of mine go

And travelled a bit lighter then,

Hoping to consider the end.

Premium Member September's Here

August's left
  September's here
The air is lighter
  Breezes cheer

A weight has lifted
  from our shoulders
All because
  the summer's older

Got a Lighter

Got a lighter?

Find a good chair
Park you bum on softness
Lit a cigarette 
Inhale 
Have cold beer
Everything falls into place
A world at ease

Premium Member Change

Life gets lighter 
when you let your old self die
when it asks you to.

And I would kill that version of myself all over again.
Again, 
and again.

Tears Are Not Cheap

I cry in the night 
To soothe my soul
My burdens seem lighter
As the tears roll
The emotions that chastise me 
Seem to fly away 
As I bawl my worries away
cry

Passion is carried away~

It's another North Carolina morning,
Just before I see the sun rise.
To lighter blue the sky is turning,
And nature wakes opening her eyes.

Lighter Than Air

Lighter than air

     Rocks can float in dreams
         vapor light as a feather
             clouds made of granite

Unburdened Mind

Smiles and positivity
Makes the weight of an elephant
Feel lighter than an ant.

With our minds unburdened
And hearts free, 
We can fly away
And experience freedom

Premium Member Morning Sight

What pales in comparison is the flame of the lighter
To the fires of the gold sun which always burns all the brighter.
I light my cigarette beneath the shining morning sight.

Premium Member The Lighter Side of Faith

     The sun provides me light from without
        My faith provides it from within

     On days when no light shines on my skin
        What’s within dispels any doubt

Liquid Psychology

Sometimes I do not know what to think,
so I sit down and have a stiff drink,
my view becomes brighter,
and my thoughts are lighter...
Hell! Why spend good money on a shrink?

Premium Member On Cue

This is my favourite time of day,

Morning, as day starts anew.

The darkness turns to lighter grey

Which soon dispels to brilliant blue.

Birds start singing, as if on cue.

Good Ole Summer Day

Feet propped up,
creaky chair,
worn blue jeans,
sweat dripping off my nose, 
flick of a lighter,
long drag,
let it out, 
lipstick stained cigarettes,
and a good ole summer day.
