gather
we’re all here
alone
together
in love
ain’t it blue
and satisfying

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I started
Chasing after you

chasing the center
of fictions,
returning nightly
to crack open
another dream

fizzled
life drowns sorrow
beat-cracked
in the ache of smile
or cadence
of laughter

Je le Rêve, je Pleure
I dream, I cry

center of fiction
what rule
says I have to meet
side?

side-slide left
slip a whip
then dip
into a rhyme
if only to breathe
of the freedom
granted in the whisper
of a word that
spells out
silence

my heart
my mind
let's ramble
about then
these women that bring such
love, such poetry
such irony
to our hearts

let's regret
these words long into
the night
if not
the love

for she knows
how deep it goes

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I started
Chasing after you

hear the stillness, perfect night
lovers heart beat, stars in sight
hold the moment, hold the flame
hold a lover close again
when I have you here by me
knowing that two “I”s are we
wrapped in love you take me there
written on the stars we share

(sorry, had to rhyme )

not the women, no
love is nothing more
than a catalyst
drawn from the depths
you find inside,
buried in the heart
you once thought
abolished.
a symptom, this love
that we wonder at,
a symptom to a larger
cause,
the one that stems
from inside...
you

Duncan...how often I have had these
thoughts, but never wrote them down...
so very glad you've done it!

Damn, this is a case of 10 poems in one. Pretty impresive replies, (specially Tracy)

Yes, poets of the night are we
holding dreams that are not to be.

This is great stuff!

We are all poets in the night. We all think words we could never write or say...and then we lose them in our sleep. Silent poetry.

All these are beautiful, poets.

(sigh) This sounds like so much fun, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

poems of the night
written without light
have so much to say
to the people of the day
poets who write in the early hours
turning words to petals of flowers
