For all the souls lost in battle,

All because they treat us like cattle.

For all of those that can’t find their way home,

To let you know you’re not alone.

For those brave enough to follow their dreams,

Even when it’s all falling apart at the seems.

In your honor we hang streetlights,

One to fight away each of your frights.

Under them we dance,

Trapped in their entrance.

There to color the ...

The lights remind me of the stars

But the street

It’s a memory of scars

They resemble fireflies

And burn bright

Into the pupils of my eyes

It all looks amazing

The sky, the horizon

But these memories are tasing...

There’s more beyond the light, the light beyond the light, it comes on to fight what most are running from and others are consumed by. There’s more beyond the light, more than we can see, accentuating and sugar coating the air we breathe the sky we see, for a moment we come to believe that there’s something more beyond the light other than what we already live. What we live is what real, the yell...

I met Prince Charming at the bar,

there’s not much more to say.

It’s rare for me to open up,

but I let him lead the way.

Was dancing with an old best friend

and singing for lost time.

He caught my eye from ‘cross the room,

his smile lit the sky.

He shared his name, then lent his hand

and spun me ‘round the floor.

He said my laugh was beautiful,

he’d like to hear it more.

A gentleman, the soft...

They say it all starts with a word.

And the word could have been Love.

And the word could have been God.

Which might as well be the same thing.

Who would be fit to confirm?

Who would have heard with their

Own set of ears to attest to that?

No one, I bet.

So we might entertain a thought

That a word, whether Love of God

It was not. Perhaps, it was the first

Piercing and shy spark of light.

Tha...

Streetlights make me think of

Moments you want to last longer than you know they can

They dazzle in your bright eyes, you know

Though I know you can't see it

Your eyes make me think of

Staring into your soul

It's like I can see everything you're thinking

And I love that so much

Love makes me think of

It's definitely hard to say it still

Because all my life I've believed

There was no one out the...

A dagger of light pierces the dark

It grabs my eyes, my vision

It blinds me

So blinding

Look away

It’s not real

It’s unnatural

Close my eyes and break away

Turn off the lights and see the light

The natural light

It glows

It heals

Now I can see...

The sight much like when I was a child

Chasing the fireflies in the night

There seem to be hunderds which is wild

Hundreds it seems above me in flight

I stare in amazement in complete awe

People move by, but I don’t see them at all

Taken away from the city that night

Away to my childhood days of fireflies in flight...

Stars sewn into the near sky, only feet above us, twinkling in the dark midnight glow. We sat for hours, talking about our lives and our pasts until we got to talk about our future.

“I love fairy lights” she said with a smile as wide as the deep sky itself.

“They've made the night more magical haven't they?” I uttered in a desperate response just to speak.

Something small for my...

If I linger too long staring at a streetlight

I’ll become lost in its bulb of white

The melancholy takes me as I think of that night

Dancing and smiling as the pole holds me right

As I spin round and round I can’t let you slip from my sight

We bath in the glow that washes us bright

And I can’t help but know I finally feel alright

Thank god for streetlights, your eyes, and memories that take f...
