Surrounded by dust and dirt
Beauty hides herself completely
in a desolate place
Only to look up and upon
the grandest bedspread of dancing stars
on a Milky-Way bed
Crosshatched and speckled all over the sky
Unbothered by neighbors below
Desiring to have someone with whom to share
this portion of Creation's thousand-page book
But no one is near...
Picture me there
Driving west after a September sixish
One, in the audience of millions
Marvelling Mother-Sun's pasteled finale
She wakens the silenced melancholy
in the human innermost
Nostalgic memories of innocent summers past
Knowing that summer is bidding her long goodbyes
Longing to drive in pursuit of her flight
with someone by your side...
Picture me there
Attempting to rest on life's concrete floor
Merciless pain echoing off hard, cold walls of reality
whether the irreversible loss of mother
or unavoidable thorns of Earth's natural rotation
pricking the soul
With no one to wipe your tears or massage your heart
Without a friend, your load to share
Just close your weary eyes...
Picture me there
So detailed and to the point, each line puts me there. Truely amazing.
I must admit, I've never before read anothers poetry and been truly impressed. You are a Poet. I enjoy your style and the way you stay focosed ,even with all of your metaphores they all make sense. Your visions are clear and your words are deep and carefully selected without the lazy filler words. You are a Poet. Though I find it hard to believe you've only wrote seven poems. You write with the Holy Spirit, that is obvious.
