By starlight the skull flies off spinning, crashing by the tree bough a rainbow of blood like a peacock fan lashes the sky By moonlight the doves coo side by side warmed in down in sleepy bliss By headlight a tiny body makes an arc of grey smashed by steel broken bones splinter in silence By limelight players create peace men's hearts softened by wit and dreamy jest long for what's right By flarelight broken bodies lie mangled legs butchered and ragged coils of colon slick and gleaming By candlelight lovers stroke warm skin alive kissing warm dampness moist in passion electric with feeling soaring and blissful By streetlight a young man scared almost witless surrounded by hatred is carved by a devil tortured in cruelty and knifed to numb coldness By firelight two friends watch evening falling dreaming of old times awaiting the dawning By gaslight the ovens are crawling with dying herded to slaughter wrenched from their loved ones heaped like old debris and buried like cattle By dawnlight the sun shines on all that is human the saint and the sinner the thug and the saviour by each ugly scarface and each selfless martyr a world that is waiting each day to be born |

I read this piece three more times, and now see more clearly. Your writing has merit. |
