Premium MemberANGLED SPOTLIGHT

Reality words
Standing alone
A story told
Woes seen
Between mysteries after another
Circumstances encountered
Down to broke
Pavement living
Cries full of desperation
Mistakes that were made
Gambling and Drugging
No excuses for actions
Time passed on and beyond
No Family nor Friends support
Lonely
All alone
Winters came
Shivering in the cold
Roasting in the summer
Begging to survive
Human rag thrown out
Life was no longer mine
Who was I?
An unknown on the streets
As

In The Spotlight

Glare, he strides with might
Echoes of cheers and whispers of fright
Bold claims and visions, the nation awakes
A dance of power, as history shakes

Lighthouse Spotlight

Lost at sea yet the lighthouse blinds me,
crash into a cliff and a siren’s beckoning,
breast beat slowing as gravity crushes me in twilight.

As my specter bubbles to the surface,
I come by an ancient creature,
bioluminescence and teeth jagged.

He seems friendly.

Who am I to judge.

Premium MemberSpotlight On Blue

A darkened stage
Excitement rise
Soon to appear
Queen with blue eyes
There you are
Bright spotlight 
Someday may I
Be your knight?

On pillows walk
When you're with me
No need for talk
All things can be
I'd do my best
To you provide
And for the rest 
My love applied

And with that love
I'd shower you
With all I am
And all I do
And maybe you
Might love me too
With

Look For Dad

Remember
when I was in third grade,
my first “pas seul” in basic ballet.
Off stage, I was nervous, blinded by the spotlights.
I had learned my routine like a book,
and Mom's words came to mind,
“Look for Dad.”
His face shown like a star.
Past the forest of faceless figures,
you both were standing right where you said you would be.
I knew

Spotlight

Spotlight flashing cameras lights, action,and  love. Is how I felt the very first time, we met. Spotlight on a red carpet, entering into a new feeling.  Of scared, happy, and this might actually work.  Spotlight I saw you, on the other side of your friend. You looked so beautiful with your own

Premium MemberStellars Within the Moon's Spotlight

Stellars under the darkest night
Glowing plight in constellation
Silhouettes afar from the moonlight
Speeding lights in formation

Stellars faint in a blue Moon
Sellars taint in a covered Moon
Faces of stellars form in names
Braces of altars dorm in flames

Stellars catalyze in many places
Like sheer diamonds in pieces
Stellars ascend in night's bleakest
As the Moon descend at its weakest

Each stellar behind

Spotlight

Once there was a spotlight
hanging on a stage
she’d shine and make it brighter
for musicians turning the page.

The performers thought she was too bright
and hurt everyone’s eyes
so they took down the rope holding her
and let maintenance say their goodbyes.

The spotlight stayed passive
even as they tied her knot
and now the brightest spotlight
finds the peace it silently sought.

Premium MemberMarvel Spotlight On the Ghost Rider 8

Crash Simpson grasped the flaming sword
and held it up against the Ghost Rider
They would battle to the death
a vision that continued to grow even wider

But Crash's daughter was in the way
holding close to Johnny Blaze's side
Crash refused to engage
not wanting her to die

Then suddenly Crash and Ghost Rider tumbled
down deep into the bowels of hell
"Johnny
