I’ve written my deepest poetry In but a near silence of honesty But the world will never read A single word, line or verse quilled For the ink itself- became invisible As soon as my hearts tears… dried . Poet of the Light © 2021
Vanquishment
Category: Desire
Misaligned
Now I won’t lie, no reason to anymore I’d find- a place to somewhat dwell Every now and then but never for long Cause something over time always told me This won’t be lasting, cause illusions never do And excuses wear out their welcome soon Never lasting more than a few good seasons Pretending at love, is never a good reason Foolishly, we lived in a battle over our truth The sun burned out and the moon turned black It was like the ground no longer nurtured And I slowly died- someplace deep inside myself Until strong changing winds blew me off In all sorts of misdirection’s, sometimes hell I’ve thirsted for a place outside my dreams Beyond the pall of all visionary things A place that never dies up and fades away Or suddenly turns forever winter cold It gets harder to tell with passing time If I’ll survive long enough, to be touched Some place where I’d just truly know This was always Gods plan, all along Maybe it doesn’t exist, at least for me? Or maybe it did but I was too foolish to know I understand, I may never really know now Still here I am, a misplaced seeded of love Just waiting to burrow, in the right life All I know, is I belong- somewhere yet unknown In the arms of a heart, I’ll finally call… home .

Intrinsic motivation
Wafts of air circulate the darkness As the pattering of rain dance above In the midnight hours of fogginess His convoluted mind actively strays Signature scent of her delicate skin lingers Like a shadow, ever present in his presence Refusing to relinquish his stolen attention Like a spoiled child demanding- more As his nimble fingertips could still feel Warmth of her silky surface, radiating Despite hours having passed her departure She- a newfound vice was clutching, him His heart maintained an odd quicken pace Between eagerness and fear filled anxiety Echoing on the fringes of wild insecurity Vividness taunted his inner most hunger As he was beginning to lose all control of Like an addict; itching to relive those moments Bit by bit, of each other’s lively flavors Within a fiery torrent of unbridle passion Drenched in sweat and damp ruffled sheets Of which, there was no other cure for If only she was more than … his conjured dream! .

Daunting
I’ve really tried to somewhat reconcile
That void between my heartbeats
The one, only I feel, unmistakably
But facts are, it simply can’t be done
Complexity and variables change to often
Not to mention, your noticeable absence
That everything seems to hinge upon
Time- ticks past like a silent cloud
Weaving in and out of prevailing winds
Trying to avoid its complicity to a storm
That brews invisible- in the shadows
All the while, ignoring the present sunshine
Oh! Why must love become polemic to happiness;
When you’re filled with love… but alone?

Sleepless excerpts
I found another video of you
While, I was rummaging in my sleep
It took me by surprise
I really can’t image why
You were laughing and teasing
Everything that was me
And I couldn’t have been happier
In a Sunday morning sunrise
The sparkle of stars still in your eyes
After being up all night, once again
We were on the boardwalk
Arm in arm down by the sea
People were living their lives
But we were living loves precious theme
Of what it was really like
With you being in love with me
While I was lost in everything- you
And as I recall now
You promised, you’d never leave
But clearly, my heart was… daydreaming

Treasure
Safely hidden within the open view Within every star in the whole universe Beholds precious secrets of my heart As well as, my whispered vesper prayers That my lips have uttered, laced in tears And it is in these ways my love for you Will burn and live brightly true… eternal .

Surely
If all I still hold is but- A fragment of faith, I trust One of these days All my bad days will be gone One of these days Love will come like a waft of air Ushering in a fresh new dawn One of these days When I’m not even looking From somewhere totally unknown All my bad days will be forgotten It will be comforting and I’ll know it Right from the start, in that micro-moment Somehow I will recognize The way its warmth burns The way it listens attentively The way it feels in my arms The way it becomes all too real The way it touches my soul The way it heals, what was broken The way it whispers my name The way it knows my heart’s … desires .

Progenitor
Like a snapped breath of whispered air
On the cursed side of love gone wrong
I meander between lost daydreams
That I honestly can no longer fathom
And my frosty nightmare realities
Where far too often, I fall, victim
To your lively looking vivid images
Coaxing me into a quicksand of insanity
Pulling me back into the baleful caverns
Of cobwebbed interconnecting labyrinths
Only found deep within my fractured mind
Where my escape is always predicated
On dragging the shadow of my soul back out
Inch by inch on my feeble worn knees
As I clutch what’s left… of my tattered heart

Beached
As if I was in a dream lost Moonlight held a drape of dark I gentle, opened my eyes Looking across, a ripply horizon As I laid alone along side That sleepy mirror of water Watching images of you and I Come to life- in full blown color Inside our laughter filled yesterdays I can still hear their echoes reverberate As those heartfelt scenes changed With the direction of the breeze Your voice permeating my heartbeats And my eyes filled with cloudy drops That simply refuse to leave me Clinging like a fearful child After all- truth be known This maybe the last time Your presence, comes to visit This maybe the last time, I hold… you .

Star
Like a Word- whispering
My existence will meander forever
Between heartbeats and dreams
From beyond the pall of humanity
Where I drift, seemingly aimless
Eons long, long after
On but gentle air currents
Created by a blown kiss
Gifted with purpose
I will delicately touch hearts
Enlighten blind eyes
Stir inner human emotions
Affirm love denied
Teardrop after teardrop
And provoke truth
In my missions life
As a bequeathed poet
Long after I’ve fallen
Thru times gravity… of reality
