Enigmatic Eyes
Posted by Barry Hurd 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 Barry Hurd 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 Barry Hurd 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
Â
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
Â
These noises of the night
Willful Immortality
Posted by Barry Hurd 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
Â
Soulful will no longer
Fading to darkness so deep
Knowing this coming hunger
Sadness bringing me to weep
Â
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
Â
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
Â
Trying to say I cared
I couldn’t make you see
Dying within as I dared
That soulful death was me
Escape Into Dreaming My Scarlet Eyes
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Loss
The unforgettable red stain of mortal tears
So many dreadful nights of heartfelt lies
Scarlet eyes do these days become years
Asking myself why I lost the reason to fly
Finding troubled dreaming my only escape
This bleeding was simply a heartfelt needing to cry
Do you remember the days that were glad
Memories seeding the way for losses so sad
Can you feel this trouble that bled me dry
Does feeling this loss tell you of something we had
A thought of forgiving my dreams without why
Can your meaning of life be simply to die
Kiss, Never Tell
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Love, Romantic
Beautiful sigh
Oh what am I believing
Those lips so tender
Why would she think I am worth needing
Wonderful vision
Oh why am I needing
Those perfect eyes
Why would she think I am seeing
Perfect words
Oh how am I just thinking
Those sounds so entrancing
Why would she think I am listening
Soulful want
Oh why does this feel so grand
Those moments just so compelling
Why would she think I am feeling
The Wall
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Daily thoughts, Inquisitive
This is my artistic viewpoint on seeing things for more than what they are. I spend a lot of effort trying to look within things that are considered very basic. I think everything has a special and unique purpose. I think this applies to all things ranging from people, to items, to time itself.
The Wall
This wall is so blank, so terribly lost
A canvas waiting for it’s artist
Character within it searching to be released
Many people see only white
Yet I see the shades of every grain
My eyes feel every curve and notch
Even the breeze tells me how to view it
This wall is everything I can dream of being
Yet so many people disregard it as they pass by
Do the people who view this wall see only white
A heart my own feels for how this wall is ignored
Can they see the colors that surround it
Are there people who can see this world like me
Maybe they simply see me as white as well
Touch
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Lust, Romantic, Spiritual
Here is a quick idea about needing to be touched. The type of anticipation you have when all you want to do is reach out and caress someone who is waiting to be touched. A short description about the type of feeling one could have waiting for something that may or may not happen.
Touch
.
Touch me
Can you feel that
Can you feel the want
.
Your hands
So subtle and soft
So wanting to reach out
.
So softly
Can you feel that
Can you feel the hesitation
.
Your warmth
So vibrant and sensual
So needing to be found
.
So enthralling
Can you hear my heartbeat
Can you hear my breathing
.
Your gaze
So incredible and brilliant
So feeling I’m waiting
.
Touch me
Can you feel that
Can you feel the want
Silent Rhapsody
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Defiant, Spiritual
Some people express themselves in action far more than they do in words. I used to be a lot more expressive in action and inaction. I did a lot of art and creative things, yet often my silence had more to say than I ever realized about myself. As a hit the end of my teenage years I realized a lot about myself and the things I kept within me. But occasionally others could read my silence like I was shouting at the top of my lungs.
Â
Silent Rhapsody
Silent expression so little words
Sometimes laughing even unheard
Wanting desire written like a book
Simple silence with heartfelt look
Words lacking all but a voice
Staying silent is sometimes choice
Personal desire falling to subtle echoes
Others never hearing what only I know
“Mainenat ou jamais” (Now or Never)
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Daily thoughts, Spiritual
Oh dear god I have a choice
 To give you a brief hello
   Perhaps even missed a chance
     To say a brief good-bye
I couldn’t fail to say it quietly
 I think everyone but me knows why
   I even used to say it nightly
     But today was never and now I try
Could I perhaps give a moment
 Thinking of things to say tonight
   Now or never I write today
     Smiling whimsically to say just hi
