On the threshold of yet another
This something, not so distant…
Blurried visions, looking forward,
Wish this world were more persistent.
And the night sky, struck with
Lightning-like storms of stars,
Of hail, of haze,
Just lies there
Looking out.
Ignores the blues and clouds of daze…
Awaken from your slumber,
But stay here in your sleep.
Believe me when I tell you that
Your dreams have fallen deep.
Caress my mind, engulf it
With your empty open stare
Leave me wondering
While you’re hovering
In the darkened wintry air.
Secrets
Held tight, held close
Whisper silence.
Not a word…
And yet, glinting with excitement
Are your eyes
So undeterred.
Tell me,
Sky of darkness
Why do you shine so bright?
For even in your bleakest moods
I see your inner light…
Fails to understand
That this night outshines the day
Calls my thinking backwards
As do others.
Let me say…
I know not common reason.
My ways are all my own.
I speak in words hypnotic,
Inspired by worlds unknown.
This second sings for hours,
Humming slowly in my mind
And all the while, three thousand
Lifetimes flash before my eyes…
Calm. Seemingly quiet.
Like the night.
So undisturbed.
I’ll lead you by the hand this time
If you take your place upstairs.
With the stars, with the nights,
With the music.
Anywhere…

poetry night mystery future new year no rules

The lights, they twinkle
Like the stellar scintillation
And the nights, they chill
With disambiguation
Cuz the holiday cheer
Dissipates all fears
As reality looks right
Into your eyes
And remembrance holds
Your mittened hand
While you frolick
In the snow covered
Streets that lead us
Along the wrong directions
But always steer us back
Toward the warmth
Of yesteryear
Where life was so easy
And words flowed
Sweetly
Like a honey glazed river
Slowly trickling
Through your every thought
Snuggling into the shoulder
Of naïveté
Not knowing what the world holds
But hoping for the best
And dancing round the moments
That captured this entirely
When everything was nothing
Where nothing was right now
But together with the music
Made it magic, yes somehow…

poetry winter memories happiness

Lying still.
Fast awake
And the things in mind
Just overtake
The slumber
That keeps slipping
Over me.

Heavy thoughts
And floating words
A mixture made of
Visions blurred
As waning is my
Focus on this
Day.

Nite aright
And steadily
Comes and droops
Right next to me
But how do I escape
To slumber elsewhere?

Dream away
And far from here
The neverending sights:
So clearly
Overtaken.
Reveries
Reveal the hidden secrets
You claim to not have answers for.

Like a lyric
Leaning in
And over, on, in
Back again…
Stuck inside
The mind just as
A mnemonic
Strives
To hold onto.

The notes you leave
Right there, behind
No
In the backside of
Our minds
Explode
Upon the realization
Of truths
You always told.

Breathing quick
And take a gasp
But hardly try
To overact
Slap yourself
Upside the head
Once all is said
And done.

The music
In the background
Fades to silence
Here tonight
The memory
Plays distorted
In the moods
And in the light
Contorted…
Likened to
Another.

Endless night.

poetry dreams imagination mind tricks fantasy deception

Feeling free.
Fancy. Flighting.
This something here
Is so inviting…
Wish you coulda
Had
A taste of this?
Haha!

Well understand
The conversation
Done overlooked
Your demonstration
But I need so much
More than you could
Ever give

Oh why do we
Play the fool
Or rule the play
Or fool the rules
Whatever’s clever
Works for me
Right now…

And time will tell
You’re nothing more
That all the things
I took you for
Faded over moments
So far gone
From memory

Beyond

All of my belief
Is changing
The past can be rewrote
I’m saying
Hindsight is
An ugly mutha
Fuggedabout the rest…
Hahaha!

This symphony
Oh it ain’t dying
The next movement
Will come
And sighing words
Will always drip
Straight from these
Honeyed lips of mine.

Directed at
Who knows?
Not telling.
For clearly now I know
I’m yelling
At the self
I left behind
But sure
She’s making the escape.
And you’re not the reason
Why
I feel like smiling
Anymore

Alas
The end has
Come and gone
We’ve all learned
Words to different songs
And dancing on and on
Along our merry ways

So take your heart
Go peacefully
And say you’ll never
Think of me
But boy you know
I’ll haunt your very dreams
Cuz you know you never really…
Got to me

Life’s a lovely dream
Keep trying
Find your way
And I’ll take mine
Nice to meet ya
Down the line
What I mean is
If I see ya, I’ll be kind

But if the universe
Has humor like it do…
I guess the rest
Will be best
Now
After you

poetry humorous free form nostalgia

I can hear the constant thoughts
pour out, like a wintry wall of rain.
And theres something calming ‘bout this
endless falling, in and out,
of Joy and Pain.

Nowhere to run
when it’s all coming down.
The noise is blurring all around.

Look up and cry, but don’t know why,
it’s going and fading,
into night right now…

Oh my, oh my… dear heart.
You’ve done yourself so wrong,
so many times.

And I, oh I… I don’t know,
where we got lost in all the signs.

Maybe we’ll make this up.
Maybe we’ll go
and make things right.

Or maybe we’ll just get gone,
and try
to keep this
song
in tune
tonight.

Now where is it?
I can’t hear that certain sound
Not anymore.
I can’t feel it.

Now I’m fighting.
To find something
that I didn’t use to have to
search to find.

And what if it isn’t here?
What if it never really ever was?
Can I face that?

Illusional ponderings that swept right thru my dreams…

The rain has stopped pouring down.
Or maybe it’s there
and just won’t make a sound…

Will I ever be sure? Surely not.
But I’ve got to take you on your word.

It’s freezing and
this endless night has got
Me thinking
I should stop this fight

My heart and my mind
Are struggling to find
The reasons that came so quick
So long ago

But the sunlight has gone dark
And warm weathers far
From the places where words meant
Something here.

My deepest fear
Has fallen out.
And I can’t fall back
Not here. Not now.

And I’m sick. I can’t stomach
The truth spilling out
of my mouth. of my mind. out my hands
And I’m blind

but I see, now I see, what I should have
Done before…

Moments passed.
Loved. Allowed. Understood.
Gone and How.

Didn’t I know when I was…
Not until I wasn’t anymore.

I’m sorry.

Time misused and confused.
Stop.
No singing those blues of your eyes
Stare me down, pull me quicker than
Sands I could drown…

And the snow takes its time.
It unfolds and
It rhymes.
Inopportune.
But we climb, mountains just
To see it fall.

Can’t catch it all…

poetry free verse rambling words written

It’s dark now. The light’s out.
The sun’s gone. But the night shouts…
This diamond encrusted midnight blue,
Reminds me of your eyes when I -
Look at you…

You…

Each night has a different light.
Like it knows how to come out right,
As the song that I’m singing
Makes me feel.

Each dream tends to seem so real.
Half awake, and my heart
Can’t even take, the time -
To straighten out my mind.

Dreamin’…
What could this be?
That I’m -
Seein’…
Got to believe, yeah!

I’m lookin’ up while I’m sleepin’.
And somethin’ slowly, it creeps in -
To my heart.
I wish I’d start,
To finally understand it all.

Don’t tell me how to think.
But keep saying what you feel.
If ever I cry out loud, just
Hold your breath before you go
And steal - mine away…
Because you may. Yes, you might.
Have your wish tonight…

Each day has a similar song.
Keep thinkin’ ‘bout it all night long,
Ago - I thought…
I would have figured out by now.

Each word speaks to me somehow.
Half asleep, and your heart can’t
Seem to keep, it quiet -
So let it speak all night.

Gleamin’…
The stars up above me, are -
Streamin’…
Right down, into my soul!

I’m looking up while I’m sleepin’.
And somethin’ slowly, it creeps in -
To my heart.
I wish I’d start,
To finally understand it all.

Don’t tell me how to think.
But keep sayin’ what you feel.
If ever I cry out loud, just
Hold your breath before you go
And steal - mine away…
Because you may. Yes, you might.
Have your wish…

Ohh… Oh.
Not even I…
Know.
What I’m thinkin’…
Half the time.

Oh no…
You think I’m crazy…
But that’s fine.
Cuz so are you…

You’re lookin’ up while I’m sleepin’.
And somethin’ slowly, it creeps in -
To my heart.
I wish I’d start,
To finally understand it all.

You don’t tell me how to think…
I keep sayin’ what you feel…

Yeah, I’m gonna cry sometimes,
But hold your breath.
Before you go…
And steal - mine away…

Because you may. Yes, you might.
Have your wish. Tonight…

Alright?

Yes, you may… Yes, you might….

Yes you may, yes you might.
Have your wish…

It’s dark now. The light’s out.
The sun’s gone. But the night shouts…
This diamond encrusted midnight blue,
Reminds me of your eyes.
When I look at you…

:) NEW SONG some kind of wonderful starlight starbright wish upon a star tonight lovely beautiful yay!

Watching the midnight
move in slowly
as the sea
is standing still.
Caught in the drift
of passing thoughts;
go on with what u will.

Reaching for breath
I lost,
was taken, but I guess
I’ll get it back.
Whenever I wake up
in this morning:
Let the peace that broke, retract…

And the night is low.
It’s fading…
Where once
it strongly did suggest.
Heaven says hello!
Damn nations full
of (darkest) secrets kept.

Write your fears and leave them,
in your tears or in the sand.
Time is wasting - Letters tasting
like a sickness in my hand.
Darkness falling. Nauseous. Stalling. Nevermind…
No looking back.

The depths gone unfulfilled.
Unbelievingly unexplained.
But then the beat falls
right smack into place and the differences just the same.

Echoes run within the walls that quickly crumble down.
And the rest I’m finding
(in my sleep)
won’t cure me.

I have found…

poetry thoughts here catch release

Mmm, thoughts… Delicious and sweet.
Meld in between with the rhythm’s heartbeat.

I’ll be, the scene in due time…
Right here and real, not sealed in the back of your mind.

And I’m wondering, as you’re waiting.
Keep on coming. Complicated.
Reasons wrote down, unrelated
To the answers in my head…

And I’m feeling unafraid and
I know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all I need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. I need another
Night like this.

I’m wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…

-

I’m lost… I dare not to speak.
Completely fearless though I believe what’s not seen.

Not me, but the feat that you climb…
Right here and real, not sealed in the back of your mind.

And I’m pondering, as you’re pacing.
All these demons we’ve been facing.
Feeling broke down, aggravated
By the questions they misread…

And you’re feeling so afraid yet
I know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all you need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. You need another
Night like this.

You’re wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…

-

Draw me inside out. Tell me all about:
The world, your dreams, the Self I hide.
Something’s seeping in and can’t let it go
But still I’m terrified.
And watching every word I make
And prepping every turn I take
To keep my reasons rational

But I’m quickly losing at this fight…

-

Mmm, thoughts… you’re starting to leak.
Straight out my mind, I find, your strength has gone weak.

I’ll leave, preconceptions behind…
We’re right here and real, not sealed, in the back of my mind.

And you’re sauntering, as I’m swaying.
Quick to taunt me and I’m just playing…
Need to know that, I’m just saying -
How it’s free and flowing now.

And I’m feeling unafraid and
You know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all I need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. I need another
Night like this.

I’m wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…

closer still another night intriguing lovely laughter leaning towards something new

I’m a complex girl in a convex world
and the wall’s concaving in…

Ever ready? On.
Upward leading? Gone.

Over this. A handful of lives
before…

A hundred stifled stunning stares -

Feeling slightly unprepared,
for the mannerisms
that mock me now.

Bridging at me? Bring it.
But either burn em or get on over.

This architecture’s leaning and
I’m floating here, unscathed.

Temporal. Light. Unfazed.

Reeling in these words,
but still can’t find that hook.

Precipitation motivating the
transitory look.

Standing here open

While your thought is closed.

Rewrites just won’t matter in your gray,
I suppose.

And every other aspiration falling down
from up above, speaks its wisdom

To the crowd

I see what you don’t hear,
but it’s not playing here.

Allowed

a line of illumination

bring forth a demonstration

or be metaphorically blind

Aye

need not relay the meaning
to the dumbstruck foolish kind.

I leave you with a simple silence

a lone euphoric burst.

Warmth…

Volumes?

Searched.


Found!

How do I explain it?
I don’t know.
Can’t even name it, for you now…

Tell me how -

What does it take,
To really shake me from
My own suspicions here?

Can I see clear?

What should I do,
To make myself face all the truth
Of all my fears?

Oh, tell me dear…

When the rain keeps, pouring out this feeling.
And the days keep, going on and stealing
Mine from me.

What will it be… for you then?

How will it end?

Will the dark clouds cover my favorite song?
Will the light still shine when the morning’s gone?
Will you laugh with me, or up and walk away?

Will this lifetime break through the dead of night?
Will I always feel that I’ll be alright?
And will I find faith, and the strength to fight,
Enough?

When I ask you, could you tell me,
Here today?

Will you answer me again,
Along the way?

Why must it take,
All of my breath to climb
This mountain in my mind?

Won’t it be kind?

Why should I stay?
Still giving reasons for believing.
I could die.

Before I find…

Where the rain keeps, pouring out this feeling.
And the days keep, going on and stealing
Mine from me.

What could it be? Tell me then.

Is this the end?

Will the dark clouds cover my favorite song?
Will the light still shine when the morning’s gone?
Will you laugh with me, or up and walk away?

Will this lifetime break through the dead of night?
Will I always feel that I’ll be alright?
And will I find faith, and the strength to fight,
Enough?

When I ask you, could you tell me,
Here today?

Will you answer me again,
Along the way?

Where do I go?
Look, see the road will
Get so twisted down the line.

Don’t leave me crying…

Where will you be?
Oh, when I need ya,
Can you stand right next to me?

And help me, please…

When the rain keeps, pouring out this feeling.
And the days keep, going on and stealing
Mine from me.

Let me believe, in you then.

Tell me again. (Oh, once again!)

Will the dark clouds cover my favorite song?
Will the light still shine when the morning’s gone?
Will you laugh with me, or up and walk away?

Will this lifetime break through the dead of night?
Will I always feel that I’ll be alright?
And will I find faith, and the strength to fight,
Enough?

When I ask you, could you tell me,
Here today?

Will you answer me again,
Along the way?

Who do I need to be?
And tell me…
What do you need from me?

Who is this in my mind?
And who is…
Right here before my eyes?

Who do you see when I don’t shine?

When the rain keeps, pouring out this feeling.
And the days keep, going on and stealing
Mine from me.

What will it be… for you then?

How will it end?

Will the dark clouds cover my favorite song?
Will the light still shine when the morning’s gone?
Will you laugh with me, or up and walk away?

Will this lifetime break through the dead of night?
Will I always feel that I’ll be alright?
And will I find faith, and the strength to fight,
Enough?

When I ask you, could you tell me,
Here today?

Will you answer me again,
Along the way?

How do I explain it?
I don’t know.
Can’t even name it, for you now…

Tell me how -

Cuz the words may have changed,
But it sounds just the same,
To me…
