Streetlight Poem by Maya Hanson

Streetlight

Rating: 5.0


Use a streetlight
to show me
that things are okay

the tunnel
between us
lit up from the inside

so that when
it's finally sunset
I don't have to worry about you.

Illuminate
the house where
both our secrets lurk

and close the door until I'm finally
always
never alone.

Maybe this house
can finally
close me in,

maybe
this streetlight
can be my salvation.

'Use a streetlight to show me that things are okay' interesting the solidity immobility of streetlight images, a lamp or candle would be more romantic, a touch coloured LCD lights more enticing creatively inviting, but the streetlight like a lighthouse is an unmistakeable irresistible point of meeting :)

Thank you! Yes, there are different types of rhyme, most of my writing doesn't have traditional rhyme but I try to create a rhythm. I appreciate your time!
