Cordis Somnium*Fall past the asphalt
Thro’ the honey bee scene
Dip thy feet within
Naides’ yielding stream.

Thine arms splayed toward Hyades
A grey morn consumes the sun
Rain brings silk to the heat fraught meadow;
For time to touch thy form, it must run.

And thine hair was a mess after the rain.
“Will you ask it of me soon?”
Before the world is found to be concrete and sprinkled streets
“Before my qualms on leaving find the noon?”

The sharp cry of the meandering city
Thrives on slapdash letters, in cheap, restless dives
Therein reside, the silent concerto of our drifting
Where individual voices drown, and no love

I aint made of paintI aint made of paint.

I'm made of concrete.

Your the one who kicked me off my feet.

Look past the picture.
Look past the scriptures.
Look closer, look deeper.

How bout
for once, you be the brush

How bout
for once, you shut up and hush.

You the mortal and pestle,
my spirits you crushed.

Into fine grain, into fine dust.

Your form the colors!
You sculpt the bust!

I aint made of paint

I aint acrylics.
I aint oils.
I aint water color.

We are no art scholars.

But,
listen good.
Listen close.

Next time you don't like, when i'm feeling blue.

I refuse, to paint a picture for you.

Deconstruction

Their lives were built on lies
their bliss just a facade
for twenty years plus five
they'd vowed before their God
to live and love and laugh
and build forevermore
they hired a household staff
had friends and wealth galore
but life behind the scenes
was filled with booze and sex
he said "it's in the genes"
she said "it's just complex"
the children shook their heads
now grown and on their own
from the time they were kids
ashamed of what was sown

To deconstruct a vow
is treachery indeed
if they had known what they know now
might it have changed their wicked deeds?

Shut inDon’t mock me, or block me
from taking my stance;
A pity, the city
is caught in a trance.

If only the lonely--
the rich and the poor,
Admit it, we did it!
By shutting our door.

I’d doubt it, without it,
We’d crumble in ruin;
Still, steady, already
forgot what we’re doin’,

We chide the society
for shutting us in--
When really, the “silly”
was us to begin.

time to grow uplife feels personal but it's not
woes befall by scattershot
what's happening now has happened before
what does not pertain we learn to ignore

you pray for a break you want a promise
it is what it is there is no justice

llp - dA - may2013

No longer warmMy eyes are warm
My heart is cold
You never know
Your grin grows old

You laugh at me
I’m always wrong
Your great friendship
Didn’t last long

I’m your friend
But you’re not mine
My hug is cold
You’ve crossed the line

I no longer want
To be your friend
Face it now
This has to end

How to Know You're Living Rightif today was your last day,
and tomorrow was too late...

if the devil came and knocked on my door,
said, "You'll be given scant hours more."
I'd pack no bags, just jot a note:
"It's been fun, more than I'd hoped,"
and let it flutter to the floor.

if plans you make for your last day,
things you'd want to try and play;
if special times you wish you would,
you're not living as you should...
it doesn't matter anyway.

when the devil comes and knocks on my head,
"This day is your last," he said;
"Keep the change, let's move on out:
last day's ain't what life's about."
I'll race him to his vessel instead.

could you say goodbye to yesterday?

this world will offer...this world will offer a tie for my trust
but no government can raise life from the dust

so i got to remember the truth that resides
when ile follow my heart instead of the lies

that everyones spewd whether like it or not
who knows wut is best in a place that will rot?

so just smile and think 'wut a fool is that guy'
hes not going to college he'll be shoed as a fly

and tho i may not be on record or known
we'll all be remembered for wut we have sown

not wut we have reaped or wut we may claim
achievements or 'honors' as fame is a game

and 'trusty' employers will say they know why
and demanding u orders to follow, or 'bye'

but i got to ask

Sins of the FleshThey're gazing in their mirror eyes
Full of loving longing and filthy longing
And moist-meat sounds that turn
My stomach at the thinking of.
They rut, my friends, and damn themselves.
I envy the damned, their ignorance.
Their love looks like lust to loveless eyes.

And as such, I can see them rutting
Whenever I close my eyes
And the thought itself disgusts me.
And in the ending of their tryst
They pool together into one.

They strut and rut in the streets
That burn in lust beneath my eyes.
Would that a tide would wash away
Oh that a tide of fire would burn away
And cleanse this world of its filth!

Yet one day, in a possible future,
I may be

Perfect in PlainYou've been living a dream
With your eyes open wide
All the prettiest scenes
Always trying to hide

As you see what they don't
And they don't know at all
All the secrets that float
In a World made of falls

All the flowers that bloom
In the late summers rain
Are all blooming for you
Who sees perfect in plain

Something To Believe In...My heart, a field of wildflowers,
Your love can make them bloom.
Fill my head with diamond showers,
And thoughts of golden noons.
Rays of whimsy find your smile,
They dance across your face.
Electric light behind your eyes,
White heat in your embrace.
Smolders linger where you touch,
Refusing to consume.
Tantalizingly preventing
Pleasures known too soon.
Amber soulfire flickers densely
Inside our misted shade.
While heavenly once was our intention,
To desires we abade.
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
Or maybe two, or three,
Surely all the riches I hold
For what you think of me...

Paint the Worlddon't plant your soul deep underground,
only your fears will sprout.
let it soar in the blue sky high,
let it turn you inside-out.

seed the clouds grey and white,
and the colors will rain on down.
dip your brush in puddles wide,
or dance is your drab gown.

CagedLike a lion behind the bars of a cage
My longing for more fills my heart with rage
This rage build and later I realize
Their is nothing I can do to make it subside
My heart wishes for something more
But my spirits trapped behind a cell door
I don't know who has the key
To open these walls and set me free

My eyes miss the wild
The thrill of the hunt
The wonder of a child
My mind being absent
All the while I sit and I stay
Moments fly by as life slips away

What more can I do to feel that freedom again
What more can I say when I don't understand
Where is it that I am meant to be?
Because I know this caged beast is no longer me

Chasing hidden light

Water rolls off of pristine petals
Far beyond the beauty of moist metals

The organic life fighting for the outside
Wanting a life the cage seems to hide

Customary blooms of a sacred nature
Alloy of a colder nomenclature

But beauty always finds a way
No matter the sunlight given through the day

To brake the bonds of a confined space
A battle so many in life have faced

Yet like a broke heart that only wants to decay
The side of the fence has a better light….and I want her to stay.

Awake in my ExistenceLive through others in your proxy
You challenge existence without noises
The only thing you cannot fathom
Is the wakening of your boredom

Awake a life full of illusions
Crave for another lost sweet union
On a realm of cruel destruction
You whisper words of guilt and nonreaction

The frame of death float on your life
Not another hope for the lost souls
Desire, joy in your cortex will subscribe
Stand up choices who belong mentally yours.

theoreticallyForehead resting on the window pane
The world beyond it blurred
Stare at the scenery rushing by
Reflecting for some time without a word

"Do you think we age faster in here?"
The question slips right out
He shuts his book and quirks his lips
Than answers back, "I doubt."

"Light always travels the same speed.
I think we're no exception."
I pause and think a moment here
"Depends on your perception."

"It wouldn't be enough to count,"
He speaks with hesitation
"Depending on your age of course,"
As we pull into the station

I've reached my stop but linger still
"It could explain jet lag…
And why hours spent traveling
Seem to

snowstormA bitter wind whipped through my hair
Biting every inch left bare
My fingers numbed, my lips turned blue
Tears blurred my eyes, obscured my view
Up ahead I saw a light
And fought to end this awful plight
I struggled forward through the snow
Towards the fire lit window
I slumped against the door and cried
But on the wind, my bellows died
I soon fell still and closed my eyes
Accepting an icy demise
I fell into the flickering light
The fire such a welcome sight
Slowly I began to warm
Just glad to be free from the storm
My blue lips curled into a smile
Content to lie still for a while
I fell asleep to pleasant dreams
Filled wit

Childish.

My head is swimming with visions
That'll never ever come true
There's nothing quite like daydreams
To submerse yourself into

I think about my future
and whether I'll change my mind
About my views on marriage or
Leaving childhood behind

I think of where I'll live,
and rarely what I'll do
I dream that I might travel
Around the world with you

See now, there's my problem
The "you" in that equation
Lately I've been faced with
A "you"-filled mind invasion

I wonder what you're doing
How 'bout if I was there?
I dream that you're thinking of me
Though you're not, I'm well aware.

I imagine what we'd talk about
and what we'd want to say
I try to think of how you'd move
And how, by me, you'd lay

But mostly I imagine
You can see my daydreams too
I know that it's impossible
I know that it's not true

But I still like to imagine
What it'd be like if you did...
Too bad it wouldn't matter
'Cause I'm just some stupid kid.

I should put these thoughts behind me
'Cause this annoyance is my cue
I guess I've got more growing up
Than I thought I had to do.

And though my mind is swimming
With these daydreams about you
It's time to put these thoughts aside
And bid these daydreams all adieu.

I'm getting angry with myself
Because I keep catching myself on a what-if tangent
As you may have noticed,
There's been a lot of dream poems lately
And they're not just trying to pump you up for the contest

I love my dreams and daydreams
But sometimes, they're really immature

!DragonslayerOrin Dec 7, 2009

Daydreams are a poet's bread and butter--some of my best poems have been inspired by the emotional after-effects of 'what-iffing', myself.

~Agent-Angel Dec 7, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

that is very true :]

~capsize-beautiful Jan 15, 2009 Student Digital Artist

you know, i think we must be living the same life.

~Agent-Angel Jan 15, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

O_O possibly. What reality to you live in? they may be alternate

*le gasp!* I'm 3rd from the left!

~moonie1111 Jan 5, 2009

i love it.
that's all i have to say!

though i don't want to stop daydreaming,
i hate growing up.

~Agent-Angel Jan 6, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks

I hate the thought of growing up
but I had when people think I'm immature
because I'd rather not

Sort of a lose-lose situation

~moonie1111 Jan 8, 2009

i'm absolutely petrified to become an adult..

but when i have a really crappy night, i wish my boy and i could fast forward about 15 years and crawl into our own bed to sleep. :/
seems worth it.

~Agent-Angel Jan 8, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

*sigh* My sentiments exactly!
