Serpent and Skull by ~brokedown

Nightlight NightlightNightlight by ~brokedown
In my dark world,
You and our babies'
faces glow bright
The future is
the past I wished for
God's benediction
which waited and watched
for the sign, the symbol
and the time
The rain and the clock
brought the crows,
and the water cleansed
The water brought new life.
You are the root
and the sign
The arrow pointed
at the night
arrow glowing bright
Color glowing inside water
Good, calm, clean
Light.


give the poet a pen it's just this towngive the poet a pen by ~Gleamchaser
is a couple of sizes too big
it's just it chafes a little
and it's underwires dig
and I don't know why
I don't love you
in all your humanity
you're just a strange facade
of historicity
you always make me feel
like I want to wear a wig
I got a bad haircut
my shoes slide cause they're too big
maybe I'm tired of being stuck
behind this prison bar
where drunk men never wander
to wish upon a star
night after night
my feet continually itch
to sleep in the next county
under new stars in a ditch
all I really know
is I don't belong
where invisible rags gag
and hold back my freedom song
