Strike a match and light your sky <br />And stars will swirl like sparklers <br />Cart wheeling towards a black hole <br /> <br />Like neglected relics <br />Under-wrought <br />Outdated <br />Nothing inside catches <br /> <br />Your eye eclipses both Mercury and Venus <br />Overshadowing the meteor belt <br />Of a heart haunted by past partners <br />Who wallowed unprotected <br />And nasty <br /> <br />Throw a match <br />Burned out and exhausted <br />Into a galaxy <br />Where grit gathers grit <br />And true strength fades like fashion <br /> <br />The left side of your face holds special effect of neon blush <br />The right <br />Fabricated beauty of <br />Dishonor and vanity but at least for yourself <br /> <br />Frame all the light you can<br /><br />Tim Gavin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-the-light-you-can/
