Maestro

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Dedicated Poems, Defiant

The foreboding absence of a voice
as subtle echoes of thought touch my memory
I can feel, but fail to listen to this heart
I dare not fathom it’s true saying

It beats
Slowly, with a defiant courage
the dream it speaks of is hidden from my ears
Somewhere within me it screams

Yet my ears are deaf to it’s cry
I cautiously wonder if the tone of my imagination is lost
and I ponder if being alone
is simply the cost of discovering a true melody

Can one soul know itself to be brave
as it stands independent in a symphony of emotion
Is one voice enough to declare itself an orchestra of life
when it fails to be accompanied by anyone else?

My hope, my desire
the love I have
the compassion I dare not share
conveys myself in a masterpiece so vibrantly quiet

And I know
that my life is defined by others hearing my performance
as I am cast in a part of being alone
my role in this act is to lead someone to who I am

Without my solitude
the defiance of a soul willing to stand apart
an unbreaking faith to inspire those who cannot imagine
I would lose everything

And we would suffer
as an amazing belief of true independence
would define itself as not being alone
but as note of clarity that connects each chord

I told you

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Dreams, Friendship, Romantic

I told you, without a moment of hesitation or reluctance
that I,
I love you

I told you, with a feeling of simple pride and creative inspiration
that I,
I believe in you

I told you, as if I was a child playing in the woods and I had just met you
that I,
I would like to be your friend

I told you, if you were an angel and I was standing beneath your light
that I,
I see something great in you

I told you, the moment I found you
that I,
I was never lost once you were in my life

I told you, on every day for the rest of my life
that I,
I am better for having known you

On a day with a beautiful sun

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Daily thoughts, Honor, Love, Romantic

On this day, with a beautiful sun
There was a cool summer breeze
I felt it as if the tips of your fingers
Were drawing whimsically on my soul

There was a simple belief in me
The simple shared joy of knowing you
Realizing I could love something I couldn’t see
yet I knew somewhere we shared this view

On this day, with a beautiful sun
There was a moment of subtly perfect adoration
When I knew my heart could still feel your breathing
Where the substance of these emotions found a home

There was an innocence never lost between us
The simple passion I could feel when I closed my eyes
Realizing I had found someone who I could trust
and I knew that my love could no longer be denied

On this day, with a beautiful sun
There was a sacred place that I welcomed you to
I share it with you, knowing you would never forget
and I, the man whom said ‘I love you’, would never regret

The Perfect Dance

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Daily thoughts, Dedicated Poems, Romantic

The Perfect Dance

Like a long walk
slowly dancing
your hands so cold
my body so warm

I take your soul
wanting a quick release
yet I find nothing
but an embrace I cannot break

I discover your brilliance
and I find myself moving so slowly
yet I dare not risk any haste
for every second I know is another I touch

Your breath
the scent of your lust
the fragrance of knowing my desire
while simply losing myself in moving passion

I cannot deny
You are simply beautiful
and my words are defined by the silence you inspire
as I breathe, yet I am breathless

I look into your eyes
deep, alluring windows that ask my soul to speak
and the voice I choose to use
ends in quiet as my fingers caress your hand

With one touch
I find your waist and draw you closer
like a fine artist trying to define something inspiring
something beyond everything I can ever know

With a moment of tension
your body quivers
your hands shake
and our spirits become one

While we kiss
lovers dancing in a motion we cannot break
one moment of bliss
forever held in a memory of two hearts

I, the Fool

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Dedicated Poems, Loss, Regret, Romantic

If I loved you
could you love me too
If I was a dream
would I dare to release
care to scream
at me the fool
should I stare at this thing
hoping my heart is not just a tool
do I bare myself and reveal this to you?

Beyond expectation

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Daily thoughts, Inquisitive, Romantic

She was beautiful
Charming and allure
Some would say inspiring
Quietly intoxicating
Slowly and passionately invigorating

Someone you could perhaps dream of
While your eyes were wide open
A figment of an imagination
Breathing life into a heart once lost
She was someone honest

Could you but wonder and dare
To look someone so majestic in the eye
Would you care to define the reason why
Simply knowing you may perhaps cry
Would you; could you dare risk to fly

Enigmatic Eyes

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Daily thoughts, Inquisitive, Spiritual

Chamber to the soul, I wish thee well

Mirror chance to suggest, do tell

That a heart feigns to forget

Nigh tis not a sole regret

Yet these eyes laugh as if in pain

Tears washing down, unnoticed in the rain

Your vision had me caught

Sometimes lost in wondrous thought

Does your face believe such lies

As to the reasons you gave me why

Is this a facade you hold to hide the sorrow

Will your eyes tell me more tomorrow

Dreaming of the Rose

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Dedicated Poems, Love, Romantic, Spiritual

Oh beautiful red I love this rose

Nye did I discover where it grows

Never could I find the place you’ve seen

This luscious field of tender perfect green

I would now try to steal that to be kept

For this vision was dreamed as I slept

I would now happily become a thief

So this morning of waking would not become grief

I could easily say that I had found such a place

Of simple dreaming of a heavenly face

No I could not have slumbered with more delight

Than of peacefully knowing it felt so right

The silent voice of the dreaming no longer speaks

Yet a soulful knowing that it found what it had sought

With a forgotten future that was always so bright

A restless dream found only tonight

Knowing of treasures that many would not keep

A blissful allure found only when I sleep

Nightly Screaming

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Inquisitive, Spiritual

Chaotic noises I’m hearing

                     I heard them all tonight

Voices in the dreaming

            I heard them all with fright

 

Sounds so painful to be searing

                      Burning my mind with strife

    Painful sounds I’m fearing

                                 Trying to win this fight

   My head simply not clearing

 

These noises of the night

Willful Immortality

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Dedicated Poems, Defiant, Spiritual

My strength was gone

Yet my spirit was trying

I couldn’t hold on

And my heart was dying

 

Soulful will no longer

Fading to darkness so deep

Knowing this coming hunger

Sadness bringing me to weep

 

Telling my heart not to say

This story was sadly lost

Feelings don’t vanish in just a day

Yet they feel cold like morning frost

 

I hadn’t lived love without knowing

Needing a soul that had gone away

My life was something without showing

That my heart was here to stay

 

Trying to say I cared

I couldn’t make you see

Dying within as I dared

That soulful death was me
