There’s a single street lamp
Across the way
It’s orange glow muted
Through the condensation covered front window
Of my house
Sometimes it’ll go out
Or will be out when I return
From a night out
Flicker, flicker, out
Despite how annoying that is
I still find it beautiful
Late at night
My house dark for the night
The amber orange glow
Permeating the night
Delicious imagery. Rhythmical language wraps you up in a cuddly fashion. Like loving a naughty child. 😂. My favourite lines ”
My house dark for the night
The amber orange glow
Permeating the night…”
After reading over it, I’ve decided to edit it just a bit. Particularly in the second stanza and the lines you have taken a liking too. The last three lines should read:
“My house, asleep in silence
The amber-orange glow echoing
Against the walls
Permeating the darkness.”
