Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness

Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness…

 

Deep within the sadness;

when the mind is consumed with madness,

and I begin to become heartless…

 

In the midst of the abyss; when I began to lose sight,

I find solace in the night.

 

When the stars illuminate the night,

I know my muse is shining bright…

 

When the world gets cold; under the pale moonlight,

let my muse shine bright.

 

When beauty gets blue;

when she begins to lose sight,

let her remember the night.

 

When her smiles become silent tears of sadness;

when the magic in her eyes succumbs to the madness,

and she turns cold and begins to become heartless….

 

Let her become reacquainted with her beauty in the darkness.

Let her find solace in the night.

 

Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness.

If sadness is liken to darkness…

let the night fall upon us; so my muse can shine bright.

 

Remind her of her beauty and brilliance;

let her bring joy in the midst of her sadness.

Let the sadness in her smile and the magic in her eyes enlighten a poet’s life.

 

Let the pain of the poet invocate the muse.

Let the sadness of the muse become darkness.

Then let the marvelous muse radiate the night.

 

If only for a moment.

If only for one night.

 

Long enough to inspire her poet to write.

Long enough for him to pen an ode to the night.

 

Long enough for them to tenderly remember the night…

 

Radiant with starry-eyes,

like the stars in the sky.

My superstar, starlight.

Illuminious light, star bright.

Goddess of the night, night light.

 

I vividly remember the night…

If only for a moment.

If only for one night.

 

Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness…

Therefore; when the sun goes down,

and the smiles turn to frowns,

when the mind’s eye loses sight,

and the stars are within site.

 

Tenderly remember;

the solace in the night.

 

Vividly remember;

the time my muse was shinning bright.

The Right To Be Wrong

28 Thursday May 2015

Posted by steviestreets in Poems, THE BOOK OF QUESTIONS

≈ Leave a comment

Who am I to judge?

Who am I to define love?

 

Who am I to say the consummation of she and she is wrong?

Who am I to say they don’t have the right to be wrong?

 

We all have choices.

We all have voices.

We all have the right to be wrong.

 

The right to be wrong.

The right to be wrong.

 

Who am I to judge peace?

Who am I to define beliefs?

 

Who am I to say the ideology of religion is wrong?

Who am I to say they don’t have the right to worship wrong?

 

We all have choices.

We all have voices.

We all have the right to be wrong.

 

The right to be wrong.

The right to be wrong.

 

Who am I to judge conception?

Who am I to define affection?

 

Who am I to say contraception is wrong?

Who am I to say they don’t have a right to be wrong?

 

We all have choices.

We all have voices.

We all have the right to be wrong.

 

The right to be wrong.

The right to be wrong.

When Beauty Gets Blue

20 Wednesday May 2015

There’s a sadness behind her smile.

There’s magic in her eyes;

I haven’t seen them in a while.

 

She’s confident,

she’s insecure.

She’s the one I adore.

 

Many men admire her.

I just want to inspire her.

 

When she’s down,

I just want to pick her up.

She’s a crown,

I just want to lift her up.

 

One moment leads to a few…

She’s sweet as honey dew.

 

When beauty gets blue,

she breathes a sigh of sadness.

I just want to introduce her to love,

peace, and happiness.

 

When beauty gets blue,

her eyes get cloudy and gray.

I just want to illuminate her thoughts,

let her know everything is going to be okay.

Life Is A Process

Life is a process, there’s always a process before progress. Just as nature requires the sun and the rain for a beautiful flower to grow; man needs joy and pain to enjoy the beauty of life. | –@StevieStreets #codeofthestreets
