Disenchanted Heart

        
      (tag poem, edited)

    The showers capture everything they touch 
    drop by drop they wash away the traces
    of tears wept in memory of  embraces,
    aching, lingering long, erasing trusts...
 
    The lyrics  are dismembered from their  song.
    The scents of roses missing from their blooms.
    The echo of your name pervades the room.. 
    The heartcan only bear it ,for so long...

    Winds wait outside the window wooing  words
    once  trusted to your lips, conveying love
    words preying on what I was dreaming of..
    the sweetest  poem, my heart had never heard...
 
    This disenchanted  heart  now hears no sound
    except these raindrops...falling, on the ground.
 
 
  

Secret

 Secret                                 (tag poem, edited)

  Such sadness in those eyes
  so serious, so solemn
  As if a secret waited
  that would escape as a tear...

  One solitary sigh
  escapes  and breathes, so softly.
  The warmth of an errant word
  you dare not whisper aloud.
  
  Shackled by  that promise
  spoken  hastily  to please;
  swarming in the wrecklessness
  of a well intentioned deed...
 
  Silent words mouthed, barely
  to a pale unhearing sky-
  sweet release, from agony
  of an aching, bursting heart.

DreamsbyDay: Soul of Insanity, you trip over lies
DreamsbyDay: Lies meant to satisfy, Lies meant to trick.
DreamsbyDay: Trick me today yes, but not tomorrow...
DreamsbyDay: Tomorrow I'll be wiser, than the fool you see...
DreamsbyDay: See though the fog of  mind of confusion.
DreamsbyDay: Confusion is power to someone like you.
DreamsbyDay: You take the joy out of  loving and giving
DreamsbyDay: Giving  myself to you , cost me , my soul.

Household of Storms

Household  of Storms
(tag poem , unedited)

DreamsbyDay: .Household  of Storms
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Below the surface,something , seething.,
DreamsbyDay: waits to penetrate the seeming calm
DreamsbyDay: Insidiously , patient- biding time
DreamsbyDay: as if, for it ,  the clock did not apply
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: The smiles and forced respectful words  remain
DreamsbyDay: while stagnant  air and attitides collide
DreamsbyDay: the sweaty scent as  nervous laughter fades
DreamsbyDay: and near eruptions  forced back down inside
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Tip toe and whisper as the days turn cold
DreamsbyDay: despite the heat that bubbles in the blood
DreamsbyDay: existence so surreal as to be bold
DreamsbyDay: dams of pain for holding  feelings flood...
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: We gather  and we pray  over our food...
DreamsbyDay: pretending that we function in this mood

Somewhere In The Summer Wind

  Somewhere in the Summer Wind
  ( tag poem, unedited)

DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Somewhere in the summer wind, it's drifting
DreamsbyDay: Past the places I once called my own
DreamsbyDay: Down forgotten paths now overgrown
DreamsbyDay: towards  the shoreline where the fog is lifting
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Some where  in the middle of a daydream
DreamsbyDay: I can hear the calling of the gulls
DreamsbyDay: I can feel the ocean as it lulls
DreamsbyDay: To that place that hovers "in between"
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Somewhere in the distance is tomorrow
DreamsbyDay: Looming like a lazy august sun
DreamsbyDay: beckoning  all that I should become
DreamsbyDay: When I can release this harbored sorrow
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: Somewhere in the  summer wind, my tears dry
DreamsbyDay: Some where and someday , I'll say "goodbye"

Spring Snow

 
 Spring Snow           (tag poem , edited)  

 

  Listen to them
  gently tinkling,
  encased petals
  in icy song;
  unaware that
  winters trying
  to keep their souls
  buried too long.
 .
 They struggle still
  above the frost,
  sweet colored specks
  peek through the snow.
  A song of spring
  upon  cold leaves
  an urge to dance-
  a need to grow
  .
  Listen closely
  as the breezes
  whisper secrets
  to  frozen  trees
  They bow gently
  icy fingers
  pointing towards
  bright  sights beneath...
  .
  Colors speak  as
  snow is falling.
  under springtime's
  early  warning.
  Cold last breath of
  winters harshness
  will disappear
  tomorrow morning.

 

                                                         

Inner Demons

 

Inner Demons               ( edited tag poem)

 

 Walking  beside myself,
 shadow  and form -as one.
 Waiting upon   sunset
 feeling the chilling come.
 clenching my hands up tight,
 night ...and night ,after night ...
  .
 Longings that mystify,
 taunting  satisfaction.
 Drunk without partaking 
 of any libation.
 Forever trapped in flight..
 night ...and night , after night ...
 
 Paradox . Sanctity.
 Purely sweet evil.

 So sacred. Unholy.
 What pain these eyes conceal
 with each taste of delight,

 night ...and night , after night ...

  Walk in my shadow; dare!
  Please take deliberate  steps.
  Don't join me unaware.

  Do what your souls suspects.
  Offer me your invite...
  night ...and night , after night ...

 

 Secret creature of need-

 Craving  intimacy.
 A  perfect demon seed , 

 adoring treachery.
 Enjoy  your tragic sight
 night ...and night , after night ...

But That Star is No Longer Wished Upon

     But That Star Is No Longer Wished Upon
                           (tag poem unedited)

DreamsbyDay: It was the second star to the right
DreamsbyDay: that beckoned and caught our attention
DreamsbyDay: the one of quaint fairy tale origin
DreamsbyDay: too obvious to even mention..
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: It fell like an errant meteor
DreamsbyDay: it seemed like a wayward dream falling
DreamsbyDay: it trailed  a sad tail  , and forevermore
DreamsbyDay: burned a strange... sight for recalling
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: The star that burns twice as bright , as they say
DreamsbyDay: burns half a s long , and so..I wonder
DreamsbyDay: if this was exhaustion or destiny
DreamsbyDay: how many wishes were plundered..
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: enough with the rhyming and reasonings
DreamsbyDay: No wishes originate there
DreamsbyDay: adults with good sense, don't believe these things
DreamsbyDay: those that do, have the sense, to not share...
DreamsbyDay:

.DreamsbyDay: So a star falls to earth , and the mind reels
DreamsbyDay: into fantasy taught in our youth
DreamsbyDay: naivete stands with our age ,it's revealed
DreamsbyDay: we may learn, but we never know..truth...
DreamsbyDay: .
DreamsbyDay: So the fantasy dies in the moonlight
DreamsbyDay: and all of the lost boys are gone..
DreamsbyDay: and I may  fall into some hearts wishes..
DreamsbyDay: but that star..is no longer wished upon...

Autumn Path

                

Autumn Path  (tag poem, edited)

  Life travels circle wise , and wisdom free
  bombarding sense with sensitivity.
  Despite all efforts , vision's are half seen
  reality a half world, in between..
 .
  So harvest comes again to warn the cold
  chasing summer  with it's windy hold
  Paths we've walked but don't anticipate
   seasons know the cycle... and will not wait.
 .
  I'll hold last gasps of sweet October here 
  holding the breath within my hurried heart
  I'll practice dancing with the golden leaves
  pacing  days as if I have no peace...
  .
  One with the autumn sun and winters warning
  paths of another chilly harvest morning
  make me cry to a wayward thought of springs gone by
  I find I exhale and some how..it's a sigh..
  .

ABC's of Enlightenment

 

ABC's of Enlightenment 
  (when asked to pray, I wrote this)

 Antagonistic Angels , relinquishing anger to anarchy
 Bereft of Souls, between worlds, beaten and  broken
 Catastrophically   cast into the chasm  of clarity....
 Drifting deeper into degradation 
 Every breathe evolves you into
 Fiends...  

 G-d goes with grace and gives
 Hearts that hold him , hope of heavens  home
 In  interventions and invention , individually ideal-
 Jury and judge  joined on a  journey to
 Kill your doubts and keep Kindred hearts
 Loved...

  
 Many men mention meanings , making mistakes
 Noting nothing worth knowing now..
 Omnipressence overpowers
 Prurient power proves a peril.
 Quick questions and quizzical quirks defying
 Reason  

  Sanctity and sacred sentences
  torn from Torah, tomes and tales of times
  Underrated and misunderstoodand useless until
  Visions visit and vex inviting  investigation...
  Wonderment..  

 Xenophile exiled from xanado.
 Yearning to yield to destiny
 beyond a zeniths zone.

Any Day Now

      Any Day Now     (tag poem, edited)

      

  Inspiration wanes, wrangling  depression
  and my  aging aching body complains...
  aspirations filter through the mundane
  I fear the night times of introspection
  .
  In dappled days of sunnier moods I 
  wandered aimlessly in euphoria
  Moods of late border on hysteria
  seems all I ever want to do , is cry.
 .
  Well meaning friends all sympathize and pray 
  for me and all my  sad situations
  hoping for my sanity's salvation
  Unreachable,  I tell them I'm okay..
  .
  Yesterday seemed much worse to me some how
  Guess my mood will improve, any day  now...
