Picture Me There...

Folder: 
Love and Pain

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...

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.
