Flicker, Flicker,
Little Firefly
Flit about and show us why
Why you dance and sing

Flicker about in the night
Show us the way, show us your light
Illuminate the world around you
Give it beauty, with all of your might

Flicker, Flicker,
Little Firefly
Give the world a new mystique
Show us knights and dragons by the fire
Show us lost souls, empires and creatures
Dimly by the fire

Tell your story, come with me
We shall live together and be free
We shall dance in the pale moonlight on your wings
After the flame has long been snuffed
Even with the changing tides
You shall here remain,
My little Firefly.
Just a cutsie little thing. I imagined an enchanted forest glowing with lightning bugs, magical and beautiful in the summer twilight.

Calm as the lavender sky's eyes
Looking over the racing waves
With a vibrant orange glow
As the sun fades to grey
A boy sits alone
Writing away
Watched the sunset at the lake yesterday with a beautiful lilac sky
A Sep 2017
i.
I imagine the lemon sun rays
Beaming on the fronts of my eyelids;
An illusion, an iridescent glow
Forms around my wandering mind.

Ii.
The careless waves floated in
An orange peculiar pattern.
I reach;
Calling the name of my prospect.

Iii.
A hollow echo, the end of a passage
revealed in the saturated aura;
Crimson tangerine amber cobalt indigo
bleeding into a soft ivory

Iv.
The days soon return their structure
Beckoning my name in the breeze
Opening my eyes from the somber dusk,
Unlocking the ebullience from the earth.
ahhhh

I could see the blue glow all around me..
I felt pressure in every part of my body..
Almost as if I was deep under water..
But I was in darkness..
A darkness so dense it almost seem to have weight..
The blue glow became shine..
And the weight of darkness was getting lighter..
I was now able to walk in the heavy darkness toward anywhere..
The lines in my hands had blue lightning running through them..
My shine now tunred into rays of light..
Cutting and burning through this wicked heavy darkness..
Everywhere I stepped, everywhere I had been was being replaced with light..
I became a blue star in the end..
It took me 222 years to walk the planet and fill it with light..
Along the way I found out that I had died with my race very long ago..
All that was left was a small splinter of light..
A light I had always belived in..
Turns out it belived in me..
My planet lives again..
Without us in it..
Only me..
At the end of my light travel I come to the final splinter of darkness..
And wonder, what believed in this so much that it killed everything on my planet..  
Whatever it was I knew it was still out there..
And I needed to find it!

S-DIVERS
iN THE HEAVY SHADOW WAS A BLUE GLOW..

You left me in the darkness without any light
Did not even turn back to see the horrific sight
I knew I should not wait for the time to fly
For here, I was only left to die
My soul awakened and my spirit glow
Finally the fright had to bow
I could hear my heart say, "Now it's your turn"
Cause, I had now, started to become my own lantern

In my heart a naughty kid resides
Playing hide n seek on a riverside
Cautiously making castles on the sand
As he never worries about the barren lands
One fine day the river is gone
The little boy's heart is just torn
Suddenly his face has lost the glow
As he now know he has to grow
Shaken awake from his peaceful nights
He is made to run to great heights
Slow and steady he is keeping up the pace
With no smile and a fake face
In the big crowd he is starting to drown
He acts as if he is a clown
Finally he sense that he've been conned
And now he is tired of this stupid bond
He lifts up his head with a ray of hope
And discovers that he needs to run to catch the rope
While listening to a melancholy song
He realizes what is right and what is wrong
Everyone is bounded with limitations and a chain
What he needs to do is keep running to gain
Someday soon he will have a house on the biggest tree
When finally he would have set himself free

you are just a spirit
in a human fleshy form
except
and go be different
from the idealistic norm

now go look upon reflection
you - ( yes you )
an gaze upon your light
go and add another bulb inside
to help you find your "sight"
let it never get extinguished
well you must put up a fight
especially in darkness
in the deepest darkest night

sigh ; )

it's my personal dear musing
oh my advice
through poetry
as poetry is my healing
an in our healing -
we are free,

an it doesn't always go well
to be the light I shine
tho if I have no courage
I shall not bask in mine

they say that every sickness
is a homesick for your glow
so you must go deep within you,
then you must
go an so
brightly

just ever let it show.

The sunflower plant hung low
As if on the verge of its death
The soil was moist and raw
Yet the plants seemed, out of breath

The glow of the flowers vanished
And the green leaves wilted
Other flowers followed the same
And with this change, all silted

The sun baked the soil like a mud cake
As watered plants lose their motion
Today they seem to be sick to smile,
A greenhouse, maybe an opt solution?

I was merely a stardust, while you were there. A sun. Shining in all of your glory. surrounded by all those planets. There isn't a spot for me to shine through. To have a glimpse of your light. But I guess that's my destiny. As a stardust one day i will form a star. Then maybe, just maybe I'll be able to glow around you.
so this is something i wrote a while ago, not perfect but i like it

My glow wouldn't last, throughout the night
As I face the coming of my dear end
Along out of your teary sight
A painful smoke, I shall leave behind

Candle, I am...
Yet I tear down to
But, my glow radiants the dark
And forever attains to comfort you

Every night, I listen to you in silence
Your stories of life and living
Then you embrace my gentleness
And give my silence a meaning

Candle, I am...
With a purpose to shine
Not only in the darkness
But within your soul, empowering a shrine...
