Poem
A Dream’s Death
“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
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
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?
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
