It can be absolutely terrifying To swiftly fall for someone new Only to realize abruptly later You’ve simply fallen through And you’re still falling … all alone . Poet of the Light © 2021

Sentient
Like those meandering cold raindrops Streaking to gravity on the outer glass Beneath a sky lost and muted of color That too often I perplexingly stare at I place my hand- against the inner pane And as hard as I try deep in my heart I can’t feel your warm presence anymore But God truly knows … I- I can feel the rain Poet of the Light © 2021
Drunkards
Beneath the pall and upon royal breathes Tantalizingly it lives seemingly unseen Yet its slightest weight can be felt within Clear to the core of their hollow marrow By those who crave its whet wicked taste Justifying every stolen drop slurped Before slaying the rebel voices of … truth .

Unplanned
I know there were times I hurt you With little things I said and done Wandering in my immature actions But it really wasn’t- my intensions I was only playing, and having fun Never realizing the hurt I was causing Someone I claimed to forever love A broken promise of words in the works Oh, my deeds were running too deep And fracturing all that I ever loved Making me a keen poet of your heartaches I never saw- breaking into tiny crevasses Failure to plan, is a simple plan that fails And I failed you unknowingly from the get go But baby, baby I know there were times When your hearts joy caused tears to run Down your face toward your captivating smile And you’d pull me close with a tight hug Loving on me like a heavenly micro-storm Oh baby! You were showing me your love Making me feel like- I was your only sun Wrapped up inside your hearts universe Safe and content while being just plain dumb Oh baby! How I miss those times now More than anyone could ever understand And most times in my nightly fantasies I can hear your voice, softly whispering My name in a way- that only you can And I wait evermore to feel your touch Cry a little drop of your rain on me again Light me up once more with your love Like no one has ever done, before or since Gasping I open my eyes cause I can’t breathe Only to wake and discover, baby it was only me Chasing after wisps of you in my memory Realizing I’m beset in luminous of … poetic agony .

Lurker
With a sprightly heart and childish beats I understand attraction and rejection Having known both side all too well But now, I’ve reached my conclusion You have far too many conditions For us to experience love- as love In many of microseconds left unshared Where love triumphs lustful ignorance And elucidates where life has failed You seem to prefer a known outcome Without tasting the nuances of romance It seems you’re really after … a victim .

Indubitable
The highlight of our evenings separated As we mingle amongst mere strangers You- over there, and me, randomly here Briefly, from across the way- you glance Just long enough to mouth “I love you” The weakness of my tears desperately cling To the witnessing conclusion of my own reality I, a mere mortal partakes in a blessing of divinity Experiencing how love truly talks to…love Poet of the Light © 2021
Leo’s Dawn
1985- my whole universe would shift The better half of July was spent But the best was still on the cusp A miracle, so profoundly fragile I could feel the joyous cosmos erupt Beyond even those last bit of stars As I held you cradled within my arms I discovered; you were more than my daughter You were factually… the soul of my heart Poet of the Light © 2021/Daddy
Undressed
Somewhere between midnight madness And heralding of dawns dreary truth Beneath those Pink phlox like- moonlights And lost cloak of overtired pretensions I’m plagued by- my true vulnerabilities Wishing you were there to veil me again From the world, In everything … you . Poet of the Light © 2021
Fallacies
We were strangers when we met That felt comfortable- at last Caught up in desires visionary tale And the more we got to know and hold Each other in those burning moments So hard to find in a growing cold world Out and away from the world at large Where only you and I- seem to exist Living off loves begotten exotic tastes’ And falling deeper into one another Like twin rainbows across the skyline Beneath a heavenly rain shower of blisses But all good things come to an end When- the illusion simply dissipates And all the colors drain away As the cold face of reality changes Sweetness into a true bitter tragedy It was a snowy day I’ll remember forever We remained strangers- when we left Each other’s broken self far, far behind Reminiscing- if only, if only… we were right .

Repercussion
Like a stalled slow-motion moment Far too many times, as of late I find, myself feeling missing Inside, the silence of my mind Where you- used to reside Like the sun and the moon No matter the time, it was right You were the chaos I needed To feel love, to feel alive Has this moment ended yet? To be honest, I just cannot… tell . Poet of the Light © 2021
