The Ballad of the Silent Song

**The Ballad of the Silent Song** The music swells, a waltz of bittersweet, As I observe them, graceful, light of feet. She moves with him, a vision, radiant, fair, And in her eyes, a joy I cannot share. I knew this day would come, a distant drum, A fading echo, whispers yet to numb. For she, a sunbeam, vibrant, free, and bright, Deserved a love...

Passing Windows

With every window I pass You’ll catch my gaze looking trough the glass What is out there What will I see What imagined world Is inspired in me, Don’t fear, as you pass by I understand your feelings But I’m no crazy guy I’m just taking the opportunity To see the world outside To let it inspire Whether day or night My suggestion to you Is to give...

Illumoria

Illumoria: "The realization that every person has hidden parts of themselves, a light they rarely share" (definition from urban dictionary). there she is across the room her head in the book she is reading she looks up ever so often to stare out the window and he stands there surrounded with people secretly glancing at her wondering about...

The madness of the lighthouse keeper

Stepping on the gravel The man stood unaware of what was to unravel In the middle of nowhere An eerie poison floating in the air The light reflecting from Fresnel, oh! so fascinating Slowly turns blinding The horrors in the walls Consumed the man's squeals The moribund was saved with no time to spare Adrift with despair But that's the waves'...

Short Windows

~ “Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations ~ I looked back and saw kindergarten Memories playing vividly in my head Halfway done they said and I asked "Didn't life start just yesterday?" I wonder if it...

The March of the Light Brigade

Into the Light, Into the Light Once more awake, Once more rise for sleep it was, not the blight nor death's clenching jaw, put its crushing bite for sleep it was, to bring thee Life. Resume thy march, daring yet The world needs awaits, O truth march on, till death. Thy Home is gone where loving hearts is crying for you to return Brave hearts. To...

The Iron Cage

The Iron Cage** Within a prison built of bone and sinew, He dwells, a captive, where no sun shines in. His flesh, a battlefield where armies clash, And joints, once fluid, now are bound in ash. Psoriasis, a crimson, crawling tide, Leaves burning trails where life should freely glide. Arthritis, with its gnawing, twisting grip, Has stolen...

Real Me

This is a short poem I wrote. Tell me what you think????? It's a rough draft!!!! Truth be told, I really don’t want to know It hurts too much to see, The indignation of humanity Is it right to condemn? Or are we worse than them? We treat people in a hateful tone You know God can see us from His throne There is no way to hide our wicked...

Oliver And The Old Hag

On a woodland hike deep in the trees He saw a woman down on her knees He offered his help, asked if she’s alright, Kneeling in the soft evening light She was helping a bird, fallen from its nest She held the bird close to her chest Cradling it’s wing stood up slow “I have to get this bird home” He carried her bag and matched her pace Noticing how...

The Heart of the Tempest

**The Heart of a Tempest** A storm within, a raging, endless sea, Where waves of anger crash eternally. A heart of stone, a soul of iron cast, Forever bound to this tempest, forever fast. The pain, a viper, gnawing at his core, Leaving wounds that fester, evermore. Rage, a wildfire, burning fierce and bright, Consuming reason, plunging him in...

Comes the Chill

I remember your perfume and how its fragrance and your essence made me giddy, like fine champagne from a crystal flute, sparkling, how they made me act the fool and not care as long as I could see you, touch you, inhale you, feel you open yourself to me, but time passed, the chill crept in, and you and my love are shells of themselves since you...

The death of genius and heroes

it is the defining answer as to why in the infinite measurement of time we are quickly fading as a species the heroes and those given the gift of genius quietly silenced in the shadows in the whispers that fade quickly like dreams the light of untethered thought the discoveries that lay in wait to bring us to an enlightened world are crushed by...
