Premium Member Lit and With It

Singing in shed furthest corner of yard; lights are on in room.
Smoking in shack furthest back from house, mind is lit and with it.
Nobody to witness me, overhear anything, nor complain.

Some lit fuse

In bed I feel
I gave up on you 
I have been lying to myself
If I told you I'm sorry
I broke your heart
the cadence dont rhythm
What am I to do
to err on love
like some lit fuse

Lit Up To Find

let me be;
let me be the lamp
the lamp of the forest
the forest of my inner heart

let me lit up this lamp
lip up it till finding the my love

Love Lit

Rare is valuable.
But rare and lovely?
For which pricelessness, long sought
As dazzles, sparkly

Beyond fortunate
Jewellers, more them
Who, from up close, stare into
Such an eyed gem.

Moon Lit Sky of Stars

A moon lit sky of stars
Spanning far and wide
Preserved on the shelf in jars
A moon lit sky of stars
Sleeping amongst the sand bars
Listing to the rolling tide
A moon lit sky of stars
Spanning far and wide

Premium Member Lit By Love

there’s a silence somewhere that listens and hears

that feels all our pain through the gift of our tears

that helps us to see in that dark which we hide

by shining a light - lit by love - deep inside.

Premium Member Lit From Inside

life's a lava lamp                    .             as image beings
driven by heat of atoms          .             in a painting of a dream
and we are conscious              .             titled mine free will

Moon Lit Kisses

~

The autumn sky
blushes
in soft
amethyst
shimmers,
peering down
upon
moon lit 
kisses

While
maple leaf 
shadows
quiver
as does my 
skin, when 
your moist
parted lips
meet
mine

I Found the Candle-Lit Gardens Comforting

On the longest midnight bloody unbalanced shores,
I since found the candle- lit gardens comforting;
that perhaps erased those desired, kindred 
apparition meetings in my lunatic dreams.
