1410 rhyme time

a single spark can light the darkest night,
and turn our timid hearts to fearless flight.

A Spark of Life

That night, in the park, it started with a spark,
It swam thru the trees and swallowed the dark.
Like a serpent, it slithered, racing to and fro,
When it hit the apartment, the chaos would grow!

Trapped! Some of them jumped, while the rest of them fried,
I could hear the screams of the people inside.
Raging death would rage

Spark

Degenerate house filled with ancestry
one short hand stretches from statues to shame 
pervading loose boundedness within the same
or toward less classical geometry

on this continuous interplay to show
how apotheosis may interchange the crow

this desire between rough designs, I try
to withstand its whirlwind and real rephaim
into flexible modules overclaim
terrain through the abundant baptistery

we have dispersed vital functions

She ignited the spark in my soul

Inspired by Johnny Cash and June Carter. An epic love story. 

She ignited the spark in my soul
By Michelle Morris 
26/08/2025

She was the sun and moon and stars 
She was everything I adored 
And yet I felt completely too small 
Unable to give her the love and life she deserved 

It never dawned on me,

The Spark

It’s not the storms that bring me down,
But sudden noise or violent sound.
A cupboard slams, the coffee spills,
And I’m back among the distant hills.

A car backfires, an angry tone,
And I’m no longer here alone.
The past comes rushing, sharp and fast,
The present’s gone, the moment’s passed.

A shadow moves, my heartbeat climbs,
I’m trapped inside those other times.
So

Gaslighter Won't Spark

The truth sometimes hurts,
like a razor that is sharp,
Conscious full of guilt,
Background noisy harp,
over-takes any clarity
and as your familiarity
horribly diverts,
gas-lighter won't spark,
we forget humanity
and true sincerity
actions of retribution
only leads up to felonies.
Black replaces red hearts.

THE SPARK AND THE FLAME

The Spark and the Flame
It’s easy to rise when the fire is new,
To chase bold dreams the moment they brew.
But sparks burn quick, and passion may tire,
Without the fuel of steady fire.

Discipline walks where impulse fades,
Through winding roads and shadowed shades.
Consistency, the thread unseen,
That stitches the path where goals are led,
And makes dream come true

A SPARK ESCAPED FROM HELL

My life is a nightmare that fate embellishes with scenes of horror.
I was born in the bowels of misery, my heart crushed by rage and terror.
I know the stench of battlefields, the taste of a child soldier’s tears,
I’ve seen all the demonic faces that the angel of death can wear.
My impure soul is a cemetery

a Sizzle and a Spark

perception sees beyond reality
interprets to the best of its ability

optimism keeps fire burning in one’s heart
while pessimism gleefully tears everything apart

instead of being boggled with the mundane
romance fills our days with wonder and champagne

a dusting of fantasy does wonders to cast a spell
kicks life up a notch and that’s no bagatelle

"If you are blessed, with a spark,
Within your spirit and within your heart,
It is in my opinion, that it is within your obligation,
To be brought to ashes by it."
This is a quote by Charles Bukowski,
It is the exact reason people must know the ins and outs,
Of something that we do not care about.
It is why

Torrid Affair

If, as the saying goes,
'There's no smoke without fire,'
is it smarter to ignite a spark
(illumination causation)
than bedamn the dark,
and thereby induce a funeral pyre,
or, better yet, a safer bet,
to avoid gossip and accusations,
find the substantiated fact(s)
(true datum)
before you act
and land in sorry situations?
It's no joke, on soot you'll choke,
yet, on the greener side,
carry the torch for earth

It was just a glance, a spark that locked me in the prison of my thoughts

It was just a glance, a spark that locked me in the prison of my thoughts,
a hazy dream that repeats every night like the refrain of a lost soul,
never close, yet never far, you were a constellation illuminating every corner,
I found you in crowds and empty rooms, your face lived in every reflection of my

Wisper

 From the dense darkness emanates a spark.
So brilliant in power, destroying all the dark.
Ingrained within every cell of rock to flesh.
A whisper permeates all space, solid or mesh.

Divine in origin, it touches the center of the heart.
Always inviting you to a higher level and a new start.
A whisper of grace and peace, rooted deep
