Spotlighting Poems | Examples

Enselada Russa

That folded barrio flour,
Candor candied blemish 
Was found
Beside my times
Nestled curtsey
Pliant blush

Confi, confetti
Tower piza tall
Ballerina repose throw rugs
Of roja fiends

The upright ends alone 

You know you got
Just what it takes
The stairway from I do
Baby you lost
What I take



There in wait 
I am planned forwards
Rest of mind, escapes in days
Mare on jaunt
Fred nostaire?
Parent hatred and fair
Whims and spotlighting darkness
A posting flyer of despair beautifully written 
Collide in hides
Invites and excentric 
Repulsive conversion of meeting place
School ties and community bland

Just Another Day

Birthday
Special day

Day we reckon as special
Deviate from normal 

Indulge in celebration
Spotlighting attention

None in Nature ever celebrates 
All perform their usual duties

Stars, Sun, Moon, Trees, Rivers, Hills 
All Wonders, none yearns for wishes 

Birth, Death ends of same spectrum 
Life in between is real celebration

Celebrate moments with gratitude 
Wish well, help others gain altitude

Birthday
Just another day

Premium MemberRIP Erich Anderson And Rob Dier

Woodsman on a prowl 
Sneaking around like an owl 
Noticing innocents getting a fright 
Watchman you are a good knight 
Defending partiers in a plight 
Battling a monster in a murderous fight
Erich you guarded them all 
Despite the rainfall 
Where thunder clapped 
Lightning snapped 
Spotlighting your heroic stage 
Heralded by the girls maturing in age 
Until your deadly scripted page 
As we reflect surrounded by campfire mist 
Who should be on the angelic list 
Mr. Anderson may not have received Brad Clooney fame 
But we knew your look maybe not name
Reminded the rat was Ben 
While the chopping mall no longer needed Ken 
RIP mechanical hiking buddy 
Protecting those from evil not really funny 
Make it sunny 
Heavens will be brighter 
Since you are now a soulful fighter 
We all down here 
Are in it for the scream and cheer 
Toasting Rob Dier 
With a corkscrew and beer

Premium MemberIn My Dreams

In my Dreams
I dreamed in my dreams that I could sing
That folk would find it worth listening 
I saw myself standing on a stage
Below bright spotlighting glistening.

With diamanté mike in my hand 
And fans all wildly, madly cheering
I was in splendour of happiness 
And hoping that the world was hearing.

Sadly when my song came to an end
I found a silence was descending 
I believed I’d receive loud applause
Truth was brutally condescending.

I asked the Lord above what went wrong
He said  that I wasn’t meant for singing
Tears slid down alike a mountain stream
And my poor tortured heart was stinging.

So I never sang a song again
But in my dreams I was still wishing
That I would be on the stage again 
But then, the wistful voice was missing.

Though I had always dreamt I could sing
Singing decidedly isn’t my thing.

Premium MemberStick Together People

stick together      people
the elites 
are gleaning power
from the seeds of misery garden

they're dividers of the masses
nothing more-nothing less

they smother smiles - voices.. happiness
wishing
to keep us in our safe-less spaces
for eternity.

every media outlet is brimming with
half-truthers-distorters-liars
phallic symbols for political parties
erect with hate-void of integrity 
highlighting the ogres of society
breeding fear 
spotlighting the freaks of society 
wanting us believing all white      people
are grand wizard hearted
that black veins are filled with thug sludge..

corporations are feeding piles of green to the media machine
forever stomping the bent backs of the plow horse class
planting hollow souled politicians in our garden of democracy

               but in time
all devils will expose themselves
stumble over their own fetid script
in time they'll soon forget their own lies..
slit their throats-hang from ropes
of their own making

stick together         people
unity is the purist form of diversity
stick together         people
soon enough(with help from God) 
we'll turn evil into crumbs

I'Ll Keep Dancing On My Own

An evening of past memories
sweet glances of moonlight 
such enticement of a thing 
turns me although trembling 
into a soften breeze

While fences breaks my skin
wind sounds will caress me
drying tears of my sleep
lingering and whispering 
hidden in the shadows

Such a stillness in words
as abstract as I paint
hanging by a thin thread
drifting until I see
stars spotlighting on me

Until the music sets fire
and drafts wander free
your true essence shown
I'll keep dancing on my own

Breathing wind 
across ocean currents 
Waves of a sea murmur 
under tides turn over emotions awakening 
Satin white washed surf 

Beholding 
upon the rocks 
Beloved apex 
a sunbeams brilliance 

Wetly kissed 
under a rainbow arch
Throwing light 
of the moon spotlighting 
dancing with the shadows 

Crouching where the sun rests 
Twilight fires burn amber 
within clouds shooting gunbarrel grey

Premium MemberFairy Tale Christmas Dream

I am 
just thinking of you fondly 
Hoping I bring a smile warmed inside 

It is windy I must admit to you 
who bring the sunshine love
Being honest I dream of cuddling up to you

Trying to visualise a feeling 
each time I see you 
my heart stops as you enter

Breathtaking beautiful lights up
I love holding your hands 
I feel they fit with mines perfect

When I look upon your smile 
light of One in a thousand angels 
holding a breathless moment 

Center stage spotlighting
Just In that single second 
my love for you is sealed

Kissed By the beauty 
of having you sweet Cinderalla 
holding the glass slipper in my life

A timeless sense of joy a magical fairy dust sprinkle from the stars 
My heart's flame one rhythmic and sensual warm dance 

Listening to our sweet music echoes magic whispers inside the mirrors glow 
Power stands within the beauty romancing warm waves uniting flow 

In a halo of silver light shining luster deeply sparkles over wishes beam 
Each new moon embracing forever spotlighting precious silver ball in one dream 

Our love brought us together through life's destiny 
Two souls have united entwined in love's single embrace 

Beautiful snowflake you're one of a kind always unique falling true rings 
Softly warm melting desires lovingly touch gently finding Heaven sings 

When the gaze of my eyes meets yours 
You bring me joy and happiness my dear valentine

Faraway ambassador of light distant dream sailing ocean waves
begging golden spear of destiny strikes midnight bells ring 

Spotlighting beautiful stunning to the eyes priceless gem 
diamond brightly sparks on a shining jewel treasure find

Mystery shades gasping warm breathless smiles tides turn flutters the heart
beating drum roars as the arrow strikes sexy moonlighting beauty

Hot flushes sweeping deeply skipping flames on magic dust
wishes warm touching inside the darkest night glowing thoughts 

Haunting full lips silver pearl whispers silently dancing tunes sing
blowing across deep sands echoes over oceans kissing paradise moonbeams
