Wishing
Washing
Danger ahead
Cut the silence
Switch off the lights
The name comes...

To help out I'll shorten this verse

all use light at work
                                            few things unknowingly hate
                                                before sleep switch off...

The doctor gave me some medication.
He said "This will make you feel much better."

It made me feel nothing.

So...better = nothing.

Pills to switch off the brain.

So...brain switched off = better.

Conform = life (death?)...

Death likes
A flash of lightning 
A falling leaf
A broken rope 
A big fire burning to ash
A wind blew off candle 
A switch off of the plug
All of a sudden 
A story comes to an end 
A movrment comes to a stop 
But sadness refracted
In all directions...

Ashes to ashes ,
Dust to dust,
Send me back to my unborn days,
Send me to save myself
From this horrible plot of my life
The terrible script of my story.
Send me back to delete the first scene of my life,
Ship me back to the past to switch off my tiny heartbeat, to cut the story short....

Wangari Maathai is not dead 
I roll back my tear
Peer from my window
Deep the grooming forest

Switch off my radio
Tear the headline
I refuse the epitaph
I write no word

Her monument must sprout 
Beyond the canopy
She died to defend

Let Wangari not die
Mother of mother nature
Where she lives!...

She sits and stares blankly,
Thoughts running through her head.
Pen in her hand,
What will she do next?

She lets out a huge sigh,
Eye-lids wanting to close.
Muscles are tense,
What will she do next?

She must go to sleep now,
Her mind just won't switch off.
It might sometime,
What will she do next?...

When all else fails in this world
And it seems like it won't get better
Just find a place for you to be
Switch off the world for a while

Crank up the volume so you hear
Every song you love and sing out
For that is the reason alone you need
To get back your life and from it you feed.

Dusk unveils the stars, light by light;
as blue morphs into ebony.
And as silhouettes fade from sight,
scarlet bleeds from a dying sun,
marking the arrival of night.
Slowly absorbing pinks and greys,
chameleon clouds switch off white.
And Luna rises splendidly;
like a Chinese lantern in flight....

I believe I learned how to count syllables today :'D
Would be happy to know even if I didn't, so do critique! :)

Siesta In The Moonlight

And we crawl under
The blanket of moonlit stars
Silence our white noise
Reading the books of our thoughts
Satisfied; switch off our eyes

He is the ultimate prevaricator.
No one can tell a tale like he does.
He makes up facts faster than others can check them.
The news channels are busy though, fact checking.
Sadly he is in a position of power, demonstrating every type of lying.
We switch off our TVs hoping our youth will not be tainted.
However, it is unfortunately, too late. They already are....

Nature and Nature fight,
To switch off the light.
And to grab the right, 
that loosens us at night. 

People say it's not good, 
since it grabs our food.
For so it should, 
Be called Hudhud.

A day for destructing, 
a decade for reconstructing. 
With such power of its Incoming,
And an obstacle for Outgoing. 

Bye bye Hudhud,
Never again say you could....

In the hub of action
strangers’ faces
pass by in a blur
rushing and racing
too busy to connect
smiles in absentia
their on switch off
most probably
conserving energy
overwhelmed
exhausted
barely keeping up
with the pace
of living

The man from IT is here again today,
Somethings gone wrong and it fills us with dismay.

The screens have all gone blank and everything has just shut down,
The man from IT just sits with a frown.

Then the junior who makes the tea,
As confidently as only the young can be.

Reaches across to press the switch off then on,
We all look again and guess what the problem has gone!!...

Tonight it’s just you and me
Give in my heart ecstasy

Tonight my dreams will come true
In my arms I will hold you

Tonight I won’t switch off light
To see you and feel alright

Tonight I will kiss you jaan
Like pellets of a popgun

Tonight we will sing and dance
In breathtaking wild romance

Tonight I will let you know
I am like your sweet shadow

Your body is like old wine
Tonight I will make you mine...

The recruiting poster incited little Lee.
He could barely wait to shove out to sea.
His cousin joined too, because joining was free.
The recruiter told them how rich they could be.

Grandma McGee got a long switch off a sycamore tree.
She went after that cagey recruiter who started to flee.
He was terrified of this woman who swung a switch like a he.
But he stopped recruiting young men from the Family McGee....

Mind soaked with thoughts
Slow in the move soughts
consume every peny of time
Wondering around spill wine
Turning the system of nerve slow down
Like a furious anger overflow down
What a fuss in the meantime potash alum
Slowing the tick tock motion of pendulum 
In thw sunshine dusk appearence in vision
Blurred the path down in a mid sun
O peace in the senerio gone
Switch off the  mind not on
to face the music tone....
