Still, Sleep Thy Soul
Remember
O
Never
To Forget
Patiently
I Stand, Quietly You Step
The
Only One
Keeper
of My Soul
The
Scariest Thing of All
Tis
a Sad Thing
I
Reach for You
I
Wonder What You’d Do
The
Pain I Cause
As
She Fell

Would
An
Empty Home
Someday
Untied
Laces
What
Lesson I Must Learn
Which
Way
A
Moment’s Vision
To
Allow a Flame to Guide
For
Inspiration
This is all I’ve
got
My lost and found
My found and lost to pull me from
the
depths of despair
My words, my curse
My misdoings and
foretellings
These I lift to the eyes and ears of those
to
pass
My gifted curse
My love, pain, joy and sorrow
I bring
forth to conscious mind
May I not be forgotten
May these
things, whether meek or
strong, show the light of healing
Healing
the lost losses of a foolish heart
Love me, as I love
myself
Forgive me, for I am always and will
always be a child
to the chaos of love
Love’s chaos has order…
Despair,
indifference, pain and losing
All have an ordered chaotic scheme
I
see it clearly
So these are my words
So I have written
~ DAR7~
A time of
knowing
Love
To all its appreciation and joy
Knowing this,
you both create
the tie of forever
To always know, that there
is
tomorrow….with him, with her
For this is truly
loving
Heavenward, the smiles and praises
of your union are
made
Both of you, together, symbolically hold
a fruitful cup,
to bless
and give thanks
For now, and always
Your time to be
loved has come
~ DAR7~
How can I
capture
your first April’s snow
in a passage that must end?
I
dare not and should not
Not in any way that would realize
its
end
Though, kneeling, eyes glowing
with open hands
cupped, for the day I
fall with thee
Your downward drift
glimmers to me
I pray
Never should there be a day
That you,
my precious
Stop falling
For unmoved shall I remain
Until we
two shall fall
~ DAR7~
Could?
Could, she
understand?
To understand, she could be the fate
The fate of
this man
To be, just to simply be
The mountains
The
temples
The steal that is forged
The edge of love that will
topple the
world
Does she know?
Could there be, the calm of
knowing
just what I am capable of?
When she wakes at night to
pray does
she understand that I am there with
just that
prayer?
Does she understand?
That all could be gained and
that
all could be lost
Just to simply be
The night sky
The
strength of meteors
The sight that awes, that could cause…
The
very destruction…
Of the mountain that is myself
Could?
Could
she understand, just to
understand?
The birth of what she can
end
For her love guides
It shows the path
Her love is the
sculptor
The forger
The answer to all
Could?
Could she
understand?
~ Understanding how I
love
Waiting to find a woman
To understand ~
~ DAR7~
Mostly, I
question
My sanity
The motive behind the dream
I see
So
much
I want
So much
Though in retrospection
Desire simple
pleasures
I feel a fool to the unexplainable self
that eludes
the desire of woman
At best, I over complicate
Lost to
variety
Loathing the common
Seeking the diversity in
one
All…
To last forever
Too just simple be, everything to
me
Simple
Beautiful
Daring
Lustful
Calm
Teasing
Devoting
Dainty
Sinful
Proper
Wise
~ DAR7~
If I were
Old
fashioned
In a romantic way
Would you laugh
And make fool of
me
And then would I
Have to apologize?
Forgive me
For
asking of this moment
Is there a time
You
feel comfortable with
Me asking your name
Without the hustle of
this place?
Please
Though I
could ask now
I look forward to remembering
A proper meeting
of
You and I
Perhaps
At the
town square
Some Wednesday afternoon
To see one another
To
tell one another
The name of whom to remember
I shall trouble you
no more
For transgressing any boundary
There is no further
intention
Just a moment if you would
But, perhaps I said too
much
Thank you
~ DAR7~
