Turn Off Your Head Lights

That’s not the light you're seeking.
Words cannot live
with your brain all lit up like that.

Let those dark parts of your body,
those body-prayers mostly ignored,
gift to you a poem.

Most of your better images
are born in that low-grade radiance
of flesh and bone.

After the glow
you can fill in the gaps

but not too much
or you’ll cover up
what you should

Premium MemberLower the Heat, Turn Off the Lights

Every dollar that I spend 
Is one less for you in the end 
Think about that concept friend
It's not that hard to comprehend

Turn Off The Noise and Shhhh SHhhhh Shhhh

Have you ever thought to sit down and just think? 

Have you ever thought to just lay down and let the wind blow to you, kiss you, hug you and be with you? 

Have you ever heard the thought to just let the sun shine unto you with his brightest light? 

Have you ever thought

Do Not Turn Off The Lights Yet

Do not turn off the lights yet,
Tomorrow's Suns will shine.
The rain will beat, the sun will bite
A moment too soon, these stains will fade.

They care not, because they are blind
to your tulips. And you sit on life's edge because 
no one perceives your scents,  stay calm,
Do not turn off the lights yet.

Every trial makes

Braising traumatic brain injury pain

easily distracted by too many ads 

the sheer notion of being creative

is having a creative space to write
 
sincerely fight flight beyond plight

Turn Off Your Tv

Turn off the TV

Turn off your TV device 
And let us face reality

Can't you see too many 
Illusion in this screen

The news are similar to 
High blood pressure

The media are not far 
From immoralities

And all we watch are 
Programmed 

I guess I need to see reality
It shows exactly the point 
We truly needs 

It is

Turn Off Your Lights

That’s not the light you are looking for.
Words cannot live
with your brain all lit up like that.

Let those dark parts of your body,
those body-prayers mostly ignored,
gift to you a few poems.

Most of your better images
are born in that low-grade radiance
of flesh and bone.

After the glow

Turn Off the Room

I met a man on the road today
otherworldly, gamin, fey.
A gimlet look in his jaundiced eye,
he held my gaze and I questioned why
he wandered here, 
a mendicant man of pleasant demeanour, 
when, from his coat, he produced an ocarina
and proceeded to play a tune so jolly
yet full of pathos and melancholy
that my soul was transported

Premium MemberI Did Not Turn Off Commenting

To any of you this happened to, get busy.
Notify PS.
There is no point in me posting~a thing!
I am in a state of distress.

Why struggle to pen at all....
When you all get false notications?

There's not one thing I can do.
But this leaves me stewing at the Soup.

I just renewed my membership, too.
To keep being part of

Please Do Not Turn Off the Light

Please do not turn off the light
I’m thinking that perhaps you might
Just leave it on so I can see
Although it’s really not for me

It’s hard to see when it is dark
And I don’t want the dog to bark
So leave it on so he can see
And that will be ok with me 

Then after I have

LIGHT-SWITCH
I was ignored in the light
So I hid in the dark
I was shamed and sly
So I told myself a-lie
Full of despair, now I grown out my hair
Like Samson my strength in follicles
My feelings recreational 
Neither longer truth nor dare
This chapter in my life sparks
Memories no longer in the dark
For you see I am a sinner
And

Nothing To Turn Off

NOTHING TO TURN OFF

Crashing red lights having already entered my brain,
Insisting to stay no matter how much thoughts do complain.
Prancing white apologists entwined with remorseless killers,
Muttering useless explanations of a cause so very long dead.
Watching assassination of spirits while minds are orphaned,
Living forever alone surrounded by nothing that cares.
Switching globes yet still finding blindly looking

Turn Off the Alarm


Breach alarm klaxon blaring


There’s nothing to see ... 
just pretend like you didn’t hear 
that warning sound

Don’t be alarmed:
Take a couple of these Valium chill pills
to help calm your nerves down

Do you like the soothing, Geiger music in the background,
can I get you anything synthetic
to make your erratic heartbeat soften it’s amplified pound?

You’re in a
