Whispering

As she whispers

I learn

to lower my voice

My Only Weapon Is My Pen - The written words of one enigmatic lunatic known as DakaSky

We All Have Dreams

BROAD
AS A BEACH
ROOMY
AS A MIND
CENTRIFUGALLY
LOVING
ONLY TO FIND
THAT PURE HOPE
CAN DIE
WITHOUT ACTION
TO FOLLOW
THE DREAM
CANNOT FLY
WHEN THE DREAM
IS HOLLOW
HOLD UP
TO THE FLAME
OL’ FORTUNATE TIME
BURN ALL
BUT THE NOW
AND CONTINUE TO CLIMB
FOR THE JOURNEY
IS WHERE
YOU REACH
THE DREAM
IT IS NOT
WHAT YOU THINK
IT IS NOT
WHAT IT SEEMS
LIVE TO CAPACITY
YES
DOWN TO THE TOP
HOLD OPEN
YOUR HEART
AND DON’T
EVER STOP
YOU GOTTA
LET LOVE FLOW IN
AND GIVE IT ALL BACK
YES THIS IS THE DREAM
TOO MANY OF US LACK
BROAD
ROOMY, YES!
ALL INCLUSIVE
YET THE DREAM
SEEMS TO BE
FOREVER ELUSIVE
DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?
YES, LOVE IT
CHASE IT
YES, I HAVE A DREAM
AND KNOW
THAT I’LL MAKE IT———–>

LOVE

Feeding The Fire Ants

a mass of ants
devour a leaf
including
the stem
and I soon
discover
that I know
several things
none of which seem
relevant to this
so I reach
to a tree
near
the crawling
clawing
pile
of
six-legged pincers
and pull off
a juicy
green
piece of foliage
off
gently
and feed
the fire
again

Angels Shower

Angels shower
             Love upon us
Undeserved
             for Love is free
Trees they tower
             truth above us
Undisturbed
             for truth can be
A strong power
             deep within us
Unreserved
             for deep are we
Fear devours
             all about us
Unhindered
             it kills the trees
And soon we cower
             and people fuss
Unobserved
             this Love could be
So on this hour
             each one of us
Uncovered
             we all must see
The blooming flower
             Love within us
We are Love
             and I am me

Tears of Love

FASCINATING TEARDROPS

ROLL OVER CHEEKS

TRUTH REVEALED

TRUTH I SEEK

CLEAR AND BLUE

DOWN THEY STREAK

INTO THE LIGHT

WE ALL SHALL PEEK

MY MIND DISTORTED

WEARY AND WEAK

MY HEART IS OPEN

OPEN AND MEEK

WATERY CLOUDS

FROM EYES THAT LEAK

FEELINGS SURROUNDED

BY MUCH MYSTIQUE

SOME MIGHT SAY

THAT I’M A FREAK

BUT I KNOW love

IS NOT UNIQUE

THIS IS THE TRUTH

THE TRUTH I SPEAK

WITH love MY LIFE

NO LONGER BLEAK

My Only Weapon Is My Pen - The written words of one enigmatic lunatic known as DakaSky

This is a new poem I wrote today.

If She Believed In Dreams

If only she believed in dreams
I know that she could see
true reality
I feel as if she’d want
so much more of me
not some flipped out fantasy
If she believed in dreams

Who could blame her
toward such sullen trepidation
for when a heart breaks
collapsing oft
there is not consideration
to be feigned
only bye-bye salutations
then shadowed shame

If she believed in dreams
I sense that she would be
what it is she wants to be
someone truly free
and so much more than me
a light that’s filled with love
not some lost dichotomy

If only
she believed
in dreams

She is the Flow

She could explain beauty to a flower
She is that amazing

But, dare she
appreciate
the many twists and turns
on the limbs of this tree?

With her I take my comfort
knowing that
when I stop
and talk to the ants

that she might stop
and talk to them with me

Understanding
the true and precious nature of ants

and that they are wonderful communicators
not to mention
good friends to have

Her acceptance of me
disarming

Getting to know her
a joyful gift

Unexpected
like the word
“Sugarbuns”

I take delight in my own handwriting
knowing I write for her

because she is
the Flow

And once you know
the Flow…

that’s all
there ever really is

to know

Tongue

The
Power
of Tongue
to slice
or to love
to express
or to say
what we’re thinking of
Biologically
the strongest
muscle of all
could shoot words of death
like a cannonball
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM
soft and slimy
able to taste
yet words are spoken
with waste & haste
Death to the lies
Death to the hate
Death to everyth….
No – Wait ! WAIT !
Care what you say
Care what you do
Nothing will happen
Unless you choose
to speak only Love
to say only Truth
accompanied by mouth
assisted by tooth
Yes
Often things are best conveyed
Without tongue in action
Silently say
nothing
nothing
ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh….

As a poet, musician and artist… this one has special meaning for me.

Love’s Labour Lost

My muse speaks
So I must obey her

She mentions things 2 me
and they come

She whispers
and I am moved
beyond her words

She smiles and I weep
in her beauty

I give myself 2 her

and she delivers me
2 creativity

like a mother
delivers a baby
