more from the poet within!
as i tell all of my family and friends (and now you all) frequently- I'm a poet and I've always known it! just to prove it here one of my better, more recent works. Be warned ,its a bit on the longer side.
fragments of reflections
dance in your eyes
fleeting glimmers
of times
long since gone
you embrace them
you chase them
through vaults of faulty memoirs
what for that
they'd come back,
visit you once more
one watery mirror
reflecting you back
two hearts joined
beat as one
in the silent night
two skys of midnight
powdered with stars
above or below
you can differentiate
no more
two twin moons
each one pockmarked
with her own scars
a pillar of oak
in a sea of birch
and all their boughs whispering
with winter's tawdriest winds
with naught but dark
to light your way
a bloom of rose
a blossom of lily
a stalk of lavender
are those plucked
from flowering fields of eternity
unending grass
waves beneath
a dome of sky
and a sphere of sun
a sussuruss on the air
weeping with willows
and laughing with larks
walk with your hand in nature's
and share your heart with the land
to the ends of the world
and but a yard beyond
the cement and the rain
and the rush of the cars
all around you suburbia
but it's not so far
when you capture that image
when you chase down that thought
of a million places
a thousand faces
and the days long gone by
look to your palm
count the lines that map it
and splinters of yesterday
hand in hand with your dreams
will spin their circles
inked in your irises
fragments of reflections
refracting away
as you while away
day after day
after day after day
