PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sunsets, sunrises, silhouettes and afternoons

Swallowed me up, like a great wine drenched ocean storm

My birth this beautiful immense lonesome shoreline

This moment my simple unnoticed magnificent heyday

My death the transcendental summit finally ascended

All I remember now is humility, splintered memories and shadows

Love, captured like photos under streetlights and power lines

Drunk, I swam the shallows like a minnow at midnight, naked

My spirit and heart tattooed upon my sleeve for all to see

I recited poetry under a glowing moon just like an ancient sage/bard

Under the eyes of your deceit, I came to trust the unknown

In the stillness of AM radio, I followed each spoken word and lyric

Drifting across nightmares, soaked in fear, hate, poverty and war, I drowned in chaos

This love will forever last like the fleeting melody of a 70s song, peaceful and lush like a summer day

Singing luminous are the stars, the universe still glows like embers, I burn for you

All along fire island, these are the years that dreams must arise, siphoned by the great spirit

Wiping away tears that descend like spring showers

Upon the decomposing leaves left behind, from the forgotten seasons of youth

These verses I will remember, and this curse forgotten
