Short Reignite Poems

Swinging in circles
At the playground in the dark.
Running in circles
To try to reignite sparks
I once had when I was young....

Inviting him for a meeting at our Rosebank Park.
Sitting together on a once marked bench, even after dark.
Trying to reignite and relight that spiritual spark....

I want to set the world on fire,
   burn it down to the roots,
   expelling all fear and hate,
   cleansing of every evil.

I want to reignite it
   and start over again
   with hope and love
   never ending....

And so I am for another day
The point vierge of light
I asked in innocence
May I be?
The gift
Yes.

Breathe
Open eyes
And my heart sings 
To reignite from ashes
Given in grace, the gift
And so I am for another day...

When the future was my friend
I would think about the past
And how things between us
Would never be the same
But now that some time has passed
And slowly reaching the end
I have never wanted nothing more
Than to reignite the flame...

the hope is not less
And it's never loss
Thanks be to God
And His son Jesus

The Light shines
At dark around us
Reignite the sparks
Allowing conversations to the heart

Hope is never lost
If your hope is trust
In Jesus

Fade away,
Run from the light and escape the sound,
Venture far into the dark,
And enjoy the silence.

But how long can I run,
And act like its no big deal,
Some day I will find out.

Im just sick of the shadows,
Looking for a spark to reignite.

No regrets, no limits this time....

Vowed
To love
Each other
Jealousy wailed
Shattered trust, broken heart, sleepless nights, us. 
Brew for woe, estranged us despair, perchance
Cupid finds one
Reignite	
Smoking
Love

All through spring,
the catalysts of eddies,
encircle the rivulets
bubbling over,
like wherewithal's brandishing
this errant song.
Now the lesson is over,
dark ditches all reignite
treasons answer,
twice mightier than the sword,
he carries his words in the rain
following like the lamb
the serpents gain....

when the flames
of ardent desire
diminish
to mere flickers
as the arousal
burns out
on the wick
of endless dreams

i don't wish
to be the afterthought
carried in the smoke
of rebound passion
as a mere spark
to reignite
your imagination

i'd rather
be unlit
as a display
on dusty shelves
of old dreams...

A photograph in black and white
can excite my heart's pert rainbow
with emotions that reignite
sweet love feels lived decades ago.

Sentimental tears feel not woe
but nostalgia held heart deep tight
and stirred deeply by a photo
in black and white that hugs me bright.

In fruitless tradition, 
to kneel at the redingote of memory, 
in this garden of loss and souls, 
an insoluble desire to court heartache. 
To renew a dark corner of the heart, 
like a half burned candle that we labor to reignite,
through the bitter ephemeral winds of time. 
But only illuminate that which will never be again....

Read More

The white-hot passion
between them, their love affair
Now tantamount to
A candle's moribund flame...

dirty dancing in the feeble wind
struggling to reignite to no avail
Flickering, then dying out.
Erosion of lust is to blame.

You shouldn’t have kissed me 
Honest with you, but what is it you want?
I wonder if you know
A plaything lingering in your eyes 

Honest with you, but what is it you want? 
So god damn gentle 
A plaything lingering in your eyes 
Vampires reignite the love poem

So god damn gentle
I wonder if you know 
Vampires reignite the love poem 
You shouldn’t have kissed me....

Your eyes are the Fourth of July
Your smile the light of day
But the light in your heart
Is much brighter by far
And it leaves me dazed
And completely amazed
Just to glimpse one tiny ray.  

You’re luminescent, incandescent, brilliantly bright
But I know all about the fire behind the light
Let me warm myself beside it
Always want to reignite it
Light my way and stay within my sight....

Embers of love glisten like the stars in winter’s solace.
Nurtured by the winds of validation.
A testament of our strength as one.
To keep fighting for warmth and longing;
Our embers will never cease trying.
To reignite the fire that was lost through the cold and loneliness.
I give you my chiseled heart to lay upon your embers.
My love, my person, on Valentine’s day.

There's a flame inside my heart
that died a long time ago.

 Holding on to the memories
that the flame use to know.

 Wishing for the flame to 
warm my heart again.

 Not sure how to handle
the flames loving emotion.

 As I lie here waiting for my flame 
to reignite, on this starry starry night....

Alas, there lingers deep within
a war that neither side can win
while the vanquished ran and hid
those triumphant forgot they did

and history, that lying vamp
would seat an angel with a tramp
so lives within the soul of men
an urge to fight the war again

for age and “wisdom” oft conspire
to reignite a flameless fire
a dream of victory’s charade
flag draped coffins on parade

A two edged knife that deluges us 
With both the midlife and afterlife
Like a tempest, 
It sways us to ruination and obscurity 
Then hoists us to reclamation and lucidity
The circle of life!

It steers us through despair and hope
And leaves us in a state of mélange 
Where the failure to reset  once more
Becomes the anchor of our setback
And the attempt to reignite dead flames
Births the strength to thrive!

Within our hopes and dreams

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Wednesday, April 21, 2010



Within our hopes and dreams 

There is that one special person 

That is out there 

That can reawaken 

The passion from within 

But it just cant 
be with anyone 

Because it will take 

A very special person 

To reignite the flames of passion 

So that the desires of our hearts 

Can finally be complete and whole again...

Red lights flashing 
And my heart defaced
Fighting feelings I can’t describe
Tracing patterns within the rhyme
Out of empathy, out of time
Spiraling down the kitchen sink
Languishing in thoughts abated
Searching for a love
To reignite my spark
Stone faced and hard hearted
I know not from whence I came
Standing in an alleyway
With red lights flashing
Watching the dead reanimate
By a single tear of mine
By a solemn prayer lost in time....

Read More

Hath not my sentence of pain fulfill 
this lasting memory of yesterday's love
if only a wish lay free upon my lap
in lavish color gracious moments relinquish

 
For if only the ashes left behind in loves fire
reignite a bed of warmth  
and rest upon your heart        
then evermore a song of completion shall play
as amber sparks light the love of a new day

I wait to be deemed a criminal. 

They tell me my imprisonment is terminal. 

As my innocence pervades. 

I become a waiting specimen as deception invades. 

I am the hope that they resent. 

They were unable to confiscate the hope I present. 

I am in this community of the banished. 

Our intentions to reignite with our families have not vanished. 

I am more than what they have seized from me. 

I am a soul that howls with all these other waiting trees....

When the sun snuffs out
And the day melts down
To a black-wick night.
When the night breeds doubt
And the clouds move in
To slay the light.

When the shoreline ebbs,
And your path erodes,
Where can you stand?
When your joy subsides
Like a bath turned cold,
How can you stay warm?

From a terrible height,
Through a starless sky,
Relief will break your fall.
Once the pain has plunged
To the darkest depths,
Your spirit will climb

To rise with the sun 
And reignite the sky....
