Your name shines brightest in the eastern night sky
Brightening the lights that blaze in your flame
Somewhere in time, a convergence of minds
Mutes alarms and erases old fears
Celebrates the arrival with deafening eyes
Your words fill the waves with thunder and fire
They flash across days securing desires
Marginal gestures send beacons of hope
Decreasing the distance between unfamilar ways
I imagine your touch turns indifference to joy
I picture your gaze melts walls long deployed
I sense you're a dreamer lost in significant moments
This fading mirage shows that beauty is near
No attempt to disguise its evidence is clear
Your subtle echo navigates through curious airs
Healing these resolute stares
Maybe a reaction to a dream? Or a reaction to someone unknown in real life?

Looking Blindly Into Beauty
Awake for the moment
Looking blindly into beauty
A level not witnessed in generations
Seen from afar with no prior notification
Only noticed previously in dreams
A fragile truce evolves between mind and soul
And expeditious separation between rumor and truth
The elegance of undetermined origin
Mixing imponderable grace and humility
I was never one for dwelling solely in reality
But I never dared imagine that you actually existed

Failed By Words
The changing has arrived and the invading shades proclaim their independence from the norm
Invisible echos sound their presence in the ever evolving sky
A single musical blast sends notice that everything has changed and will not return again
I am failed by words to explain all this
Failed by deeds to verify existing bliss
Was it a loss of part of my life?
Or a temporary blindness?
A brief insanity or a vision that failed to materialize?
Once present, now lost
And at what exorbitant cost?
You once argued that this was your way
And issued demands that this could not change
Declining values often place interest at risk
Frayed edges remain in the wake
This needed moment of silence shattered by fate
1990's
Some of these attempts at poetry are from 15-20 years ago and I didn't think to make notes as to what life situation was in place that caused them to come out. I can guess but would quite possibly be in error. Maybe fact or fiction but it had a story behind it at one time.

Remembering Apprehension
Remembering apprehension
How did we survive?
What was the point?
A ritual played out over and over
Yet we returned and tried again ..... and again
Until it was eventually decided, that was enough
Were we masochists?
Lovers of pain?
Was growth and wisdom in short supply?
It took decades to grow weary of futility
Leaving in its wake, multiple fractured souls
Temporarily mended during abbreviated periods of neutrality
Each time swearing never again
Yet the lure was too strong
Simmering passions ruled suspended lives
Until now
A subconscious decision
No further forcing conclusions
The alternative becoming reality
A life saving acceptance of terms
