bleak lights snuff

greyhound fox rolls fast

yawning stars groggy...

Ears ringing, 
just let your heart race;
‘I want you’ 
Dancing words; 
We can play in the shadows 
snuff out all the lights....

But the fault lies with me.

 I never attempted to snuff the flames,

I deserved to burn....

The wick burns eternally
Slow lazy flame dancing
Moves like a snake charmer
Though its symbol is of pure power
Its fragile life is easy to snuff...

I'm not quite up to snuff,
should the wind give me a puff
I'd simply fall over
like a worn-out clover
that's lost its own shadow
in an overgrown meadow...

George was a man who ate
Everything piled on his plate
You might think this quite enough
He then took a pinch of snuff
How could he use that dreadful stuff...

Until he started to drink too much, so
She told him to change to snuff
Because she had quite enough
Sniff it, Whiff it, Snuff it, GO...

The Globetrotters haven't had enough
Thrilling crowds with their magical stuff
Magic it was
Creating a buzz
A hoop at the bell was sure up to snuff...

This thing called love will never last
I bought you a can of snuff
You walked away in a huff
And now I wearing my arm in a cast...

flaky memories 
selective priority
tie up his spirit 
while drifting further away
snuff out his love with distance

Gazing upon the valley below.
Golden tree tops reminiscent of flickering candle light.
The setting sun will soon snuff this valleys warm glow.
Telling all its time to sleep tight....

Hadn't forgotten to snuff out the light -- 
   He just wanted to pray
   'Till the dawn lit the day --
To chant lyrical psalms ~ Heavenly Heights...

O! take away the LIGHT or 
kindly snuff it out.
I'm  residing in this corner and
only through voices  we will know one another.
LIGHT teaches; darkness erases.
My TASK  is still incomplete....

Too bad we can't adjust the color of our dandruff
To the color of our clothing each day, maybe a shade of buff
Or perhaps chartreuse
Maybe a baby blue
Everyone would want dandruff to be up to snuff...

Plentiful wine, abundant beauties, endless snuff
Sorrowful rejections, shameful insults
Could never keep you away from my heart
I have tearful sighs, sleepless nights
Dismay, disarray of mind
Still I wish never to make love to another
For I have had the best ever...

spring sun warms her bones 
the wait through winter was long
alone and lonely
now tulip and daffodil 
come visit for a season

time passes quickly
when walking with sunny friends
on flowered pathways
too soon the long cold dark days
of winter will snuff the sun...

Apply all those misconceptions,  
by witch trial I am burned alive;
Cry out but cut off with a snuff, 
try as I might I can’t survive; 
 
Phrase used just to degrade me, 
always the one who never quite fit;
Flyaways land where they need to, 
displays karma of my eternal spirit....

I don't want anything
You can take everything
So I can be free of You
I am not going to do anything any more
Especially anything You say
So You can fluff it, snuff it, or shove it
I have nothing to say to You
Why people think I care when I actually don't care?
What a joke
What a blubber
Now just leave...

The bruised soul in the battered body,
ached for renewal.
Teeth clenched, 
little chest shaking,
as heart weakly reaching out.
Energy spent, love torn,
her mind full of doubt.
God's bruised reed,
His smouldering wick.
He will not snuff or break.
Holding hand, kissing cheek.
As in dead of night, her soul He did take....

BLEW THE FEATHERS RIGHT OFF

Cats are lounging, small puppy's gruff 
One hen a strutting just doing its stuff 
Sunny afternoon, we can’t get enough 
Gramps, then snorts some of his snuff 
One loud sneeze; the hen’s in the buff

it arrives unknown in the black of night

passing in silence, away from sight.

casting no shadow on the cold bare floor

it enters my bedroom through the open door.

bloodless fingers, worn thin by time

snuff out a flame at my side.

collecting in full, the price mortals pay

alas, death visited  my garden today....

They nagged him till he'd had enough.
His one remaining joy was snuff.
Beyond the post that ends his race
he has found a better place.
This is no time to joke or laugh
but to write his epitaph.
Art is long but life is short.
I lack the time to more report.
Short and snappy were his days,
short therefore to him my praise....

I will not bow
I will not break
To think I might
Is a mistake

I know the truth
it sets me free
No matter what
you think of me!

Matthew 12:20- One of my favorite Bible verses.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory....
