Dream's Mysterium

Category: poetry

  • Heart

    My heart is filled with emptiness Essentially all the time. Sometimes it helps to put my thoughts To page, to wit, to rhyme. Physically, mentally, real and imagined— I cannot help but feel Some days it is the only way  That I can tell I’m real I try to think about my life With warm,…

  • No Title

    Perhaps with death’s cruel fate Delivered on my head My words will meet the multitudes Alas, but I’ll be dead!

  • It Never Snows on Christmas Anymore

    It never snows on Christmas anymore. Not like it did when I was just a boy— Not in the South to chill one to the core— Not for the little children to enjoy. I know there must be places it still snows. I’ve heard a tale of it a time or two. I see it…

  • The Dip

    Just the once Without words We’d cease to be Without words You wouldn’t know me Without words We’d sink this ship But we are anyway! So buy the dip!

  • Lucy in the Sky with LSD

    I dropped  I felt I’m liquid I melt I came You saw No blame Just awe If we Forsee The end Is near Then whom To tell Then disappear

  • I Wrote a Song for You Today

    I Wrote a Song for You Today

    I wrote a song for you today It’s a rather tragic tale About a man named Ahab And a damned elusive whale Or was it Ashenputel  With her friendly woodland friends They got her to the Ball and then  They did it once again. Or shall we talk about the Jew Whose trapped up in…

  • A Longing

    I’m tired of being the same Of chances never taken. Of dreams of borrowed fame From which I’ll never awaken. And you out there, you see, Just being and existing.All I want to be Is with you and persisting.

  • I Write

    I write with quill and ink although I realize life has changed. We’ve invented lead today, which I find, using, strange. A scratch on page with graphite seems so easy to replace All one has to do is take some rubber and erase. But when I dip my pen in ink and ply it to…

  • I felt Alone and Spoke Aloud…

    About the state the world was in. Though much assailed, I never bowed. I understood the stakes therein. And I withstood the consequence and understood the pertinence. The more I spoke the more it seemed That no one else was listening. My cry progressed to near a scream. Still, no one was listening. They all…

  • I Sleep Better

    Some sleep peacefully in pain Some sleep through the pouring rain Some sleep easily with flu I sleep better beside you. Some sleep naked. Some sleep clothed. Some sleep aching. Some sleep loathed. Some sleep alone in the nude. I sleep better beside you.

  • King

    I’ll become King Just to set my men free And cede all my kingdom to thee.

  • I Lost a Love Today

    I lost a love today Feels like I lost a life Some say you need companionship I went and got a wife But she and I Weren’t eye-to-eye And so she left me bare Now I’m alone Without a home And now I’m without hair.

  • Cronus

    Cronus ruled the Golden Age The Earth and the Whole Cosmos Born of Gaia. Born a sage. A Prophecy from Patmos: His reign would be cut short, ‘twas said, A son would be his death. So Cronus ate his childrens’ heads Then he spit out the rest. Rhea saved the youngest one Zeus, she hid…

  • You Call Yourself a Writer

    You call yourself a writer Cause your wallet’s feeling lighter— Yeah you’re Fresh out of dinero on this  Road that once was narrow but to— Day it’s somewhat wider An illusion meant to guide her To a false sense of security As if an impropriety Were as tangible as matter Or the silly sound of…

  • How Fare Thy Rainbows?

    “Do you ever see wild animals?” Most of the time. How fare thy rainbows? The light in your eyes? How goeth your freedoms, And all your goodbyes? I hope that you have them Need them, you will Winter is coming  And you live on a hill.
