Poems

YOU!!
If emotions were words in human tongue
Some would cry "Help me!"
But they speak a language louder than words
So mine are shouting
And I am almost deaf.
Never before have I yearned so much
To take into my life a thing so large
Its very being overrules
My every waking thought,
And fear that I may be denied
This one desire of the day
Is all consuming.
Like rot within my soul
These teeth gnaw deep
And dreams that fill my day as night
So time is undefined
But fast nonetheless.
Yet you keep me there balanced.
With careful eye this monster swings
its counter weight intangible
Though strong enough to tip the scale
Until the time has come
When life goes on regardless.
Will my inner self be delivered?
Or did luck expire then
When we had more than we deserved.
Too much too soon.
A little goes a long way,
So they say.
Please sir, can I have some more?

DAYBREAK!!!
There was no fire,
It was a cloud
That was so low it was as though
I'd breathed it out,
Like frozen sighs in winter.
And further up
The rosy flame of dawn
Warmed the heavens.
Another day.
A mirror image
Of rolling sands and golden dunes
Reflected there skyward
Invited me to run barefoot
Across its infinity.
Yet only my thoughts
Are in the clouds,
Not my feet,
So I may be content to gaze
Forever in wonderment
And dream.

Overwhelmed

Happiness is you
A kind of happiness
Known by few
Who submit to your
Fatal charm.
Unreal.
You make my world
Without hate or pain
Where all is such
That I can never
Go back
To life again
Before you.
A feeling unmatched
So big
Nothing comes close
So good
It holds me spellbound
For days
So bad
It makes me
Lose myself
And want you more
Than is good.
Make sense?
I'll be
overwhelmed
before then.

On silent wing
Oh sacred flight!
Where under veil of death
Beats a heart light with love,
And passion burns soul deep
Touching times past
Where blood of ages
Runs through veins of fear
Of fur and feather.
No sweeter sight or sound than this.
No greater bond with bird or beast exists.

Show me this life and take me where
No hoody crow or tawny jack dare
To linger.
All reverence be
In awesome gaze skywards
Or God's speed earthbound
To forest floor,
Where hook and claw
Reign eternal.
