Darkest Dreaming

In the darkest corner of my mind
That's the place they stay
The ones that won't go away
Where they don't have to hide

I watch the parched desert
Encroached by now barren sea
Scorched down to aridity
And wonder if I can flee

In this bleak and desolate place
Electricity fills the air
Outside pressures compose the haze
That bring the end to many a chase
Reality has begun to tear
Seen through the spine of the sun's buring glare

Sonnet #222

Sonnet  #222

Our time is fast at hand

We must approach with care

The time we have to share

When we’ll walk hand in hand

Along the golden sand

We’ll make a lovely pair

Of only life were fair

But things don’t go as planned

Restraint must rule the day

We find our center space

To wait and rule our souls

We keep our love at bay

Till in the proper place

Till then pain takes its toll

Decisions

Decisions

A fleeting ball of gossamer

Floats precariously on the wind

My soul’s sanity is dependant

On sticking a needle in

I’m no tower of strength

Built so tall and compelling

I’m not a font of love

There is no joy over welling

The line will end with me

Not drift infinite into space

It will never be the right time

The right person or the right place

Hopes are dashed here daily

Don’t come here to have your tears quenched

Truth cleans brighter then cleanser

Lesser emotions must be benched

So gird your loins and enter

Don’t be surprised when I say

I will not lose my center

There, at least, you have no say.

Revelations

So terrified of what it means

What calls in the dark of night

You are the brightest of light

Keeping me from losing my cool

Coming apart at the seams

My battered knight in armor

No longer shiny and new

It’s not anyone’s place to judge

Intolerable what people think they can do

To figures on paper-mache

Used for money or power

Not important for what they portray

Kings no longer have power

Should they?

Simple Wanderer

All my tomorrows

Bleed into yesterdays

When the burden of proof

Lies in the beholder

Truth flies on the wings

On a snow white dove

When you can’t believe

What you your eyes tell you

Bring to me you fears

I’ll lend you my sorrows

Together we will be

The saddest of companions

But maybe together

We can conquer the world

I’ll lend you my hand

But I must see where to place it

Without a direction

I’m simply a wanderer

Groping in the dark
