Whispers of Dreams
(A Poetic Collection)
Thorns
I remember flowers,
Where only thorns grow now.
Of placid times, where only rhymes,
Would ever run afoul.
For your face, like a grace,
Which never came to me.
Simple splinter, now embedded
In my memory.
Broken Wing
There is nothing like a broken wing,
To fail you in a flight.
And nothing like the pain it brings,
That robs your sleep at night.
Yet birds, no pity, for themselves feel,
When lying next to death.
Not one tear do they shed,
While losing their last breath.
While I Wait…
Fate,
So sensitive to every move we sway.
Love,
So fragile to every word we say.
Time,
A fire that consumes the day.
And hate,
Swallows us in for pay.
Life,
Can you feel me washing away?
And Death,
So certain that you will stay.
Hope,
So compressed in the faraway.
But Me,
I guess I’ll be okay.
No Pain
I see your face,
In every place.
A lingering memory,
Like a poltergeist.
Never allows me peace,
Never let’s go.
I can hear your voice,
Still lingering in my ear.
Never lets me hear,
Anything else.
Your scent all over the room,
Like an embedded thorn,
Which never comes out.
I can’t remember,
When there was no pain.
A Lonesome Place
I find your heart a lonesome place
Engulfed within a fruitless waste
The pulse of a thousand cells
Left loneliness inside your hell
Dark, dank and rancid sick
Lost a heartbeat silver quick
Danced once more in turbulence
Fractured love’s impetulance
Escape’s my only thought of late
Fear and hope initiates
Down the hall of loathsome doom
Out the door to shining moon
To breathe again the air and light
Shaking off this cloak of night
Waters Deep
You're the heat of summer
In winter's embrace...
The life force
In the night of death
My heart that beats
In my chest
The crimson blood
Streaming in my veins
You are like breath
In waters deep
Like liquid sugar
In my sleep
I ache to find
A way to you
To synchronize
Right into
The same space
You occupy
Into your arms
I ache to lie.
Deny me,
I am sure to die
Siphoning
Your entity
Deeper still
Inside of me
A part of you,
Which I now to keep
Safe within
My troubled sleep
Candied Sin
I can hold you in my arms
Feeling your soul’s embrace
I can make it hard to breath
Standing face to face
Lips of sweetest candied sin
Wisps of thoughts ignite within
Makes the hours infinite
Observations intricate
Touch of skin, heat and lace
Skimmed upon a jaded face
Into your depths, here I go
Swept into my very soul.
Immobile
I was lost but found myself
In the middle of a mass
Observing all like mysteries
Which dodge me as they pass.
I sit by, anonymous
Quite silent and unknown.
Such relief in secrecy,
For a moment of my own
What could be said of me,
If I were on display?
For everyone to pick on through,
With all their bias ways.
Here sits my tiny spirit,
Encased within my wall.
An island of myself within,
Invisible to all.
Light
I feel your light
So deep inside
I feel your pain
December rain
Just disappear
Into the rear
Left behind
No one’s to find
Inside
Inside me lies the end.
Inside, hidden in the dark
Unlock this virulence,
That threatens to embark.
Pain runs in my veins,
Envelopes my brain.
Like vultures and prey,
In the end of days.
Nowhere can I stay,
Standing too still.
No place ever safe,
No place to fill.
I can feel it,
The sadness of me.
Dwindling within,
Apparitions of empty.
Where did I go?
Never memorized.
Disappeared in you,
Never realized.
Memory Blitz
I heard a distant breeze,
Whispering your name.
I looked at him, he looked at me,
Then on my way again.
