Tidbits of a Tuscan colored sun Adorn the wintry gray horizon Beset by a most dividing pall haze As ghostly clouds and wild fog Chase one another in mere silence Providing them rhythm and reason True to life and their own nature I strive to rediscover for myself Since absence of loves presence I’ve transformed into loneliness And became too accustomed to These caustic cold breeze kisses Playing havoc on my numb cheeks Liken a tall oak tree, overburdened Dew can still seep down my face Transplanted in some remote forest For all the broken, lost or unwanted Where few visit or care of recovery Caught between life and hibernation My frayed heart awaits... rejuvenation Poet of the Light © 2021

Heartfalls
The river below has slowed its flow Covering its banks at night in fog Geese are passing through Winter must be coming The sun has waned in its duty Winds have stopped whining Solace is seeking its rest again And you know, I was almost used to Sitting here alone- in my silence Recognizing my predicament But like a rogue freight train You- became a loud summer glint As if a lost whisper returning Reflecting, living so wildly free And in that way, you brought me hope Oh the mountain trembled, a bit I hadn't felt that in such a long while It was an unsuspecting rush Flushing through my whole body You were waking the sleepy me up From a complicit dream of slumber And you always seemed to know Exactly what's on my mind In much so- sometimes I wondered If you were just some fragment Of myself, lost to a past life Or perhaps, its wandering ghost Trying to tell me something Something, that I may have forgotten Something, I’m yet to discover I have no idea- truth be told What you’re really think or believe You hide now, a shadow, inside your life Slowly going further away from me Someplace I can’t see or be And now, suddenly somehow You’ve become part of the mystery That kept me in this distance Just when I'm getting that feeling Of wholeness, was still possible It seemed I was on the cusp Of learning- a great something That’s now getting lost Inside all passing moments While I’ve been pushed down From my grand summit of old Left to sit in my silence once again Where time alone taught me Between the slides and heartaches Was what I finally came to realize, is We’re just colliding mountainside mirages That broke free from our life… for a second Poet of the Light © 2020 We are crumbling pyrite...
Unsuitable
They were bright colorful threads Emitting from the core of my soul But you strained them all beyond Their fraying strength; they broke Until they were jumbled fragments To you, they were merely words You converted into a big joke And my heart, a laughing stock Causing my love to easily loosen That grip of that fabric, you were One little simple stitch at a time Dragging along, as unwantedness In dirt and far behind, your shadow Then fallen off and away I stayed Becoming lost from your… forever Poet of the Light © 2020
At play
Beset in a human type of spindrift Silent acts of flapping, fleeting caws Dawn gently melts away a rolling fog As night temptingly slips off it’s drape I feel on my skin the chilly air, breathe As my weary mind wanders aimlessly To recall all of your missed touches Spoken words of love and their hope We are those children no more, sadly Angelical face of such sweet promise Gone now, there- beyond that great pall Shivers race feverishly through my soul And I further wonder again to myself; Would you return, if you really could, To me, my heart, my arms as it once was, Or would you remain- my lost forever? Oh how my tears even fear your thoughts And reluctantly fall- away from me too Now only my shattered dark emotions Will share their seasons… without you Poet of the Light © 2020
Squandered
I got married very young Divorced nearly as quick Then married impulsively Trying to rekindle a love That was lost to time past Both my wives failed me In hindsight and honesty I know I failed them too I- just don’t really know Who failed who… first! Poet of the Light © 2020
Truth doesn’t lie
The sun has broken another horizon and the light doesn’t play favorites I’ve been up all night, once again discerning just what is really best I know I seem different somehow maybe because I’m wearing sadness And yes, that’s shadows in my eyes that I just can’t seem to hide, anymore It’s why it’s so hard to face you now that alone makes me, feel like crying Words just seem so hard to find in moments like this here- this time But words will never change the time of doing what has to feel like is right Me- being a storm of loves disaster instead of your, welcome sunshine Girl, I think we really always knew somehow deep on our hearts mind And we were just playing along filling up empty time in our lives I think we’ve both learned hard what love is, and this really isn’t it Mending those pieces of ourselves as we slowing relearned, acceptance But- I just have to save my heart from making another broken mess Saying goodbye, always hurts but I know, right now it’ll hurt less So- I leave you here alone today instead of waiting, any longer, girl until you do it, in some… tomorrow Poet of the Light © 2020
Conventional magic
When forever, slips away In love and everything We’re left, as a broken mess And nothing more to believe in My heart has been shattered A time or two, and too often When all that really mattered Left me behind, unapologetically Since when does love require Loving self first, above all others And since when does forever Only last a little more than a day I find it eerie these days, we only see Love as blame…for broken dreams Poet of the Light © 2020
Causality
Midnight madness revolutions Dancing on sadness in a song Swooping into transformation Someplace I really don’t belong I’m the teardrops you never saw I’m the future you let go- of I’m the results of my love for you I became what you couldn’t use You’re a dream that disappeared Off into some cosmic thin air I really believed you were real Until I fell, from even myself Tossing and turning every night All I do to survive you is fight… life Poet of the Light © 2020
Out of sight, out of mind
I’ll break free behind neon clouds When I know you’re not looking Not that you’d notice it anyhow He’s really what you’ve wanted But you ain’t getting anything Left to the dark of your own heart And you’re stranded- in between Your dreams and today’s reality I know, I’m just the fools moon You talk to when you feel alone If you feel like far away company It seems safer for you that way You really need to finally move on And stop pretending that you have You’re just a silly phase my heart Is mysteriously gotten locked onto Before every new red dawn comes And you’re back to wanting him Until I’ve become new and whole I’ll go on being… your forgotten Poet of the Light © 2020
Transeunt
Footprints of our close friends Will never match fingerprints Of lovers that stole... our hearts Poet of the Light © 2020
