LIGHTS IN THE NIGHT
explosive combustibles
generated colored lights
bamboo tubes filled with finely
grourid charcoal and sulfur
He held her hand and looked up
and realising she was more beautiful
more firey than lighted missles
and all that was her
extravagant the display they witness
elaborate production of floating
bodies in the nights heavens
and lavish the art that pleases the eye
lightening exposed realing the senses
intense the shooting stars and flame
bright confetti fills the air
as smoke and splendour fills the sky
A spherical break of colored stars
that leaves a visible trail of sparks
such the jewels that glitter
crisscrossing the dark blanket above
radial lines like the legs of a spider
burst in a straight line of trajectory
until we come to the final salute
that tells us the end is nigh my love
and so we watched that night
the liquid fuel that caused the final
fireball in the sky so
burst sizzle dazzle and scatter
and for a brief moment on summer's eve
they satieted and soaked in the lights
one single magical moment
for in that eve nought would matter

Keep the lights in your heart,
feel his hand holding your hand all year long,
then the moment will be an eternity!

some times a moment is all that matters!
that which holds our very breath
and captures our mind and heart
so keep the lights in your heart,
feeling his hand holding yours all year long,
then the moment will be an eternity!
that which sings the song softly
of the moment that really mattered
for now is all we know and have
and all else is just illusory
that deceives the mind to pin
hopes and dreams on what might have been
when it is now that we truly hold
this moment, this breath we breathe
and bask in lifes present joy.....
hmmm I like it....
