Night Shadows

Walk through the shadows
In the night
To a world of little light
Where scattered stars watch over all
Cold silken touch and restless call
Where spirits fly
And worries die
With heart wide open
My soul as eyes
I’m filled with power
I’ve banished lies
The world and creation
Are one and I

Spirit

The world is my castle
It’s paths are my home
I wander their reaches
I’m never alone
The sky is my answer
The moon is my guide
My friends are the breezes
That brush at my side
My family the trees
That watch from on high
And the saplings that skitter
When I pass them by
No need for the humans
Have I in my heart
They want not my words
We belong far apart
So I’ll wander the reaches
The vastness of earth
Avoiding the cities
Ignoring each birth
‘till the people too many
Have cut all the trees
And my tears have been scattered
On each little breeze
Then I’ll wander the paths
No longer my home
Of steel and asphalt
Now that I’m alone

Haunted

Sex and beauty haunt the night

A net of dreams around me hides
Reality from prying eyes

Death and secrets shed no light

What can be said
What will be done
What is and isn’t
Both are one

The dark will silence every voice

Silence speaks
Where words would whither
The answer is silence
When there’s no reply

The night is waiting
for your choice…

Time Ditty

Time goes by
And all is lost
What has passed
Shall never come
What is past
Will always be
A figment of my memory

Words

Words are there
Beneath my skin
A mass of language
Kept within
I can't sleep
For whirling thoughts
That keep my mind
Tied up in knots
Things not done
Unsaid and over
What could come
A distant lover
Dreams are hidden
Out of reach
In taunting sight
I'd love to teach
My mind to rest
Whenever I say
The time is best
But the words are there
Beneath my skin
And I can't sleep
For thoughts within...

In Memorial

With no eyes
I see them dying
With no ears
I hear them crying
With no heart
I feel the suffering
With no body
I try to help them
I’m calling out-
But I have no voice

I am the only normal person in the universe

I am the only normal person in the universe

I stand alone
Indifferent
While all the world runs past

I need no recognition
Fate is not so inclined

I am a statue
I am alone

I am the only person who is guided by no laws

I stand apart
Listening
While all the world swings by

I get no recognition
Fate is not so inclined

I am a statue
I am alone

I am the only normal person in the universe

Words scrawl
Behind my eyes-
Were words can’t die-
They fly

The world walks in circles-
I walk in a line

The outside of a circle
I stand and watch
They pass me by
They do not see-
Me cry

I stand on the bank
Of the river of time
It rushes past
But suddenly it stops-
And I start to fly
Times not passing me-
I’m passing time by

When will I fly?
When I die
How long ‘till the end?
When the rivers bend?
The answer is flying
On wings that are dying

And you’ll never know

Inside the World

Does the pen guide the story
Or the story guide the pen?
When
Does the line end
Is the dream inside the world
Or the world inside a dream?
Why
Does the world seem
Forgotten in the streams of time
Unreachable to mortal mind
How
Can we now find
The hidden eye inside the storm
The place we truly all desire
But
The way lies in fire
©

The minds eye

In the center
At the end
All things
That never happened
Are not forgotten
Tattered ribbons
Fly away
They never will be found
Questions
Without sound
A voice that never spoke
Where things
Begin and end
That never have
Begun nor ended
A bend
To reality
No friend
A mine for stories
Never told
A place for hands
That will never hold
The minds eye

Dancing

Green ways lighting
Streetlights bright
Shadows dancing in the night
Pounding music
In my chest
Bodies swirling
With the rest
Feeling the beat
The rising heat
Sweat is running
Stars are wheeling
There’s no ceiling
Bodies bumping
Hearts ‘a thumping
It’s too much
I break away
To get a breath
Time to rest
Sound is fading
Just behind
The green ways lighting
Streetlights bright
And shadows dancing in the night

Fleeting

Fleeting
Fast retreating
As hard to catch as thoughts
Impossible to hold
Or to delay
Its endless way
Not one day
One hour
One second-
Thoughts go through our head
Impossible to hold
As time to mold
Grow old
What’s left
But time
Fleeting
Fast retreating

Welcome to my new blog. I'm a creative person, and I love to write poetry. That is what this blog is all about, really. I hope you like my poetry, and please feel free to leave any comments you might have!

Drifting

A boat in a river
No oars at its sides
The current flows fast
The banks are so wide
I float down the center
And look at the shore
Ghost people walk past
Their silence a roar
I use my hands
And paddle long
For I’m not strong
Finally I reach it
A hand grasps mine
I’m filled with elation
It’s been a long time
I’m walking with people
Talking as well
I’m filled with belonging
My heart seems to swell
Then my foot hits a stone
I stumble and fall
The people stop talking
No one answers my call
I hang my head
The world starts to fade
Tears run down
It’s how I was made
I’m on a bench
In a little space
The boat rocks gently
I know this place
A boat in a river
No oars at it’s side
The current flows fast
The banks are so wide
I float down the center
And look at the shore
Ghost people walk past
And I watch them once more
