FOLLOW THE LIGHTS

Art by Augusto Peixoto @ IrondoomDesign DEVIANTART

 

FOLLOW THE LIGHTS

 

Follow the lights to the house of glass.

There will be much splendor in the grass,

Lights in the trees as far as the eye could see.

A more decadent event there could not be.

 

Champagne will flow until the wee hours.

Come with me and dance among the flowers.

This room full of guests gives me a chill.

Maybe we should leave, I’ve had my fill.

 

Stares are following us in the room.

They will be upon us all too soon.

The guests are not what they appear.

Beneath, they are just bones and hair.

RED

 

 

The road ahead is wet and slippery.

I follow the red, blinking lights.

My eyelids hang heavy.

My yawns grow wider.

The lights blur together

forming a raging fire.

It fills my windshield.

I sit forward in the red halo.

I must stay awake.

LIGHT THE WAY

 

The bright lights of a city.

The excitement.

The noise.

It entices you.

It takes you on a ride.

Holiday time like no other.

Light the way.

Lights in the trees as far as the eye could see.

A more decadent event there could not be.

 

Champagne will be flowing until the wee hours.

Come with me and dance with the pretty flowers.

This room full of guests gives me a chill.

Maybe we should leave I’ve had my fill.

 

Eyes are following us in the room.

They will be upon us all too soon.

The guests are not what they appear.

Beneath they are just bones and hair.

The Fourth of July

 
Up in the night sky
Colors float so high.
Raining down in hues
Of red, white, and blue.
Victory is our day.
We are all out to play.
Music and marching bands.
Raise up our clapping hands.
Celebrate the 4th of July.
Let the colorful lights fly high.

 

LIGHTNING STRIKES

Lightning hits the water

with long fingers so fine.

 

It glistens in the sky

with its curvaceous spine.

 

Sizzle goes the sound,

electric in the air.

 

It crisscrosses the sky

with its own savoir-faire.

SWEPT AWAY

SWEPT AWAY

Lights twinkle on the horizon.

A horizon tinted pink by the night.

I walk past the mosaic trimmed pool.

A trade wind follows me.

I’m being swept away.

By the view.

By the lights.

By the beauty.

A contented sigh drifts on the wind.
