Music and Words of the Soul

Poem

A Dream’s Death

by

“I’m dying.”

Note of each word, perfect resolution.
No amount of hope now tethered fast
I tugged at each sweep of fate’s hand
My thoughtful response, choked in silence

Everybody knew. I believed it now, they always had.
A wave of hot foolish shame warmed my face
I had always known. I believed it now, I always had.

One more look into that hope
Just one more ride on one more wave
Dusty sentries of vintage bests
Stood ready stoic just near by

Deep Sigh’s echo drifting softly
Out of sight now in my mind
All of life envisioned spotlights
Curtains closing for all time

Everybody knew. I believed it now, they always had.
A wave of hot foolish shame warmed my face
I had always known. I believed it now, I always had

Forever

by

Forever it seems I struggle
day in day out fight
Around me is so much trouble
a darkness blocking my light

There once was a time I trusted
felt this life was so sweet
knowing some things will get busted
knocking us off of our feet

I’ve watched the kindness of many
who pick up the pieces that fall
building the world together
they let in the light to us all

But then there’s the greedy & haters
deceiving and cheating the sad
if stronger did really mean better
if smarter meant good and not bad

Thru all this pain and jealousy, there can be love and honestly
All I ever cared most for, was a smile in an open door.

Don’t let hate’s river wash you down, don’t let fear turn you around
Don’t let greed’s fire burn too hot, don’t forget battles that were fought

Forever it seems we struggle
day in day out fight
Around us is so much trouble
A darkness blocking our light

Together in separate dreams
we all share this life so sweet
knowing things sometimes get busted
knocking us off of our feet

Join in the kindness of many
who pick up the pieces that fall
Don’t foolishly think you are winning 
By hiding behind some high wall

But then there’s the greedy and haters
deceiving and cheating the sad
if stronger did really mean better
if smarter meant good and not bad

Thru all this pain and jealousy, there can be love and honestly
All I ever cared most for, was a smile in an open door.

Don’t let hate’s river wash you down, don’t let fear turn you around
Don’t let greed’s fire burn too hot, don’t forget battles that were fought

Liliac’s Night

by

They came on a full moon

Bright as the day

They’re nothing but kids

I heard people say

Little they knew

Their world had just changed

Those who deny

Are only deranged

Welcome a new Dawn

You’ve slept as they play

Their stage is the night

They avoid light of day

Run if you can

Stay if you dare

For none can resist

 A Liliac’s snare

You’ll Listen you’ll hear

Eternal Rock’s Might

You’re now theirs forever

Caus’ their music’s their bite!  JMD 2-23-19

Say What?

by

Most can hear, but few listen
Many speak, mere pointless groans
Some lose Hope, Lost forgotten
Bank of Time, makes no loans

What would you say to every ear
turned heads looking all your way
offer kindness love, or hate & fear?
to some a question, some clear as day

Thanks to all for giving time
growing close in unity
there isn’t many in that line
sad nature of humanity
