Snuff

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

A Far-Reaching Limerick

King David arose at twelve ev'ry night
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

The Visitor

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.

I Will Not Break

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!

Eileen Manassian

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.

No Hunger

No appetite for wealth or fame,
for each will snuff out like a flame

No thirst for beauty, strength or youth,
for each will fade, as sure as truth

No desire for power or control,
for each will gnaw upon the soul

My craving now's for life and health,
for each will bring to me, true wealth

A life to live with gratefulness
and no hunger for what I don't possess....

Weeds

When you plant good seeds watch out for weeds. They will try to supersede and snuff out all good deeds.

Because weeds grow to impede and to do misdeeds. Once freed the weed will proceed to take the lead and have you treed indeed.

So take heed, when you plant your seeds, watch for weeds,  if you feed,  they will breed and will make you concede.

Proofread, then proceed with Godspeed.

Dark Veils

She walks the halls to snuff out breath
 attired in her veil of death
 Soon, the morphine takes its toll
 As she steals their very soul

 They see her coming and lie in fear
 They know the kiss of death is near
 And then she takes their feeble hands
 And leads them to a cold dark land

 Do they really want to die?
 Or has the system gone awry
 They lie there waiting for reprieve
 But it's only death that they receive

Dark Depression

Dark Depression 
Suicidal Thoughts
11-18-08
William L. Moore

Let go of all the strife
Just snuff out my life
Make a strong fist
And Slit my Wrist

Make me cry
Hope to die
Call to get help
Only to Yelp

I can not stall
Just end it all
Would anyone care? 
If only I dare

Would someone come by?
To check, to say goodbye
No one would crave
The stink that would Rave

This was written when the whole world was falling down around me.  When life was not 
important any more.
