The Passion of Poetry

Allow the power of poetry to take you on a journey of emotional bliss, and mesmerize you into the "Wonders of Words."

The Night



When everyone is with their significant others,

When your staying up late,

And tossing and turning,

When your wondering why you still haven’t had

A happily ever after,

When you know your worth it,

But get played by your lovers,

Numbness follows,

Coldness piles up,

Statements of pain,

Every word hard to swallow,

Falling back because to feel is too much to hold on to,

Easier to avoid it,

Then to commit to,

Trust issues,

False envisions,

Words of no intent,

Hallow before tomorrow,

Staring at white walls,

Images of mirage bliss,

Heart and mind in sync,

To understand that all lie,

No more tears to cry,

Not interested in what hides,

Just looking and hoping,

For someone to bring the soul back to life,

People pleasing in the meantime,

Frozen from living your life,

Identity unknown now,

Even your mirror image can’t recognize ya,

You won’t lie,

It’s hard at times,

How can you make yourself happy,

When there’s no longer happiness that resides….

The Pusher

Daydreaming about walks in the park,
Afternoons kissing the Dark,
Rare occasions likely to spark,
Conversations that indulge in smart remarks,
Undefined by rhythm incanted,
Many levels left to explore and romance it,
Smiles hurting the cheeks as their spreading,
No games are being played here,
Shh…
It’s ready for the taking,
Can’t no one replace it,
Triggered into shots of amazement,
Can you relate to this?
As you become to break this,
A silent walker changed it,
Now it’s back to the basics…

The Dreamer…


You take me in,

You inhale me,

You break me in,

You innate me,

You embrace me,

You elate me,

You are the brightness,

That’s meant to be,

From within me,

I feel you in me,

I see you through me,

Admittance to untamed daydreams,

Yearning to make it deep,

Oceans building from streams,

They call this a fantasy,

 I call this...

 a remarkable dream….

Subtle Sweetness


Subtleties a loves summary,

Practiced slowly,

Paced patiently,

Kept closely,

 Securely,

Envied,

Desired instantly,

Remembered vividly,

Enjoyed continuously,

Lingering in the air,

By memories reserved,

Consistent with time by all that be,

Subtleties a loves summary,

Gratifying by a higher degree,

Slow, building with intensity,

Soft, immense relief

Sideways glance,

A fingertip stroke,

Kiss to the earlobe,

Caress of the chin,

Whispers giving in,

Subtleties a love’s summary,

Precision a must,

Perfection a gift,

Captured and admired,

The wisest know it best.

Crystal Clear


 


The truth settles in the back of your throat,

As you stir the pot and see how high it goes,

No reservation,

no need to stop,

Going forward,

not looking back,

Settled,

Unsettled,

not even sure,

 pacing on glass eggshells,

As crystal sands cut the souls…

Reflections of deception,

As they stare into each other’s eyes,

Better lives are a mirror’s lie,

Wanting that which is never there,

Ultimate fulfillment is only in the hereafter,

Craving more after having it all,

Crawling back up after such a great fall,

Learning to live,

Living to learn,

Pacing on glass eggshells,

As crystal sands cut the souls.
