Traverse

October 4, 2019Poetrylife, lovefound, lovelost, poem, poet, PoetryDrew B

Traverse

Traversing paths unknown and drear

Withheld from this weary traveler

Does this trail end?

Is this boughed canopy

Eternal or passing?

Each step I sink

Mire and clay

Moving forward

For yet another

Day

Universe

Universe

Rise up, unfurl my wings

Bring this life purpose

Draw in spirit

Alive to you it sings

This canvas experience

Bubbling brooks and springs

My universe your painting

Your colors’ playthings

[DB]

Tide

September 25, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovefound, lovelost, poem, poet, PoetryDrew B

Tide

Inside I abide
Standing anchored
By your side
Waves crest ore’
Threaten at high tide
Hug tighter, tears
Flow together we cried
Us once again
Hands held, storm denied

Always

Always

She ran

As fast and

Quickly as her

Mind allowed

Removing all

Traces of him

Images,

Memories,

Looks,

Lighter now

She sped on

Enjoying freedom

Once again

But

That one phrase

Clung too tight

Slowed her

Back to a

Crawl

“I will always love you”

Impenetrable

Impenetrable

Underneath this

Exterior of impenetrable

Strength

Lays one

Stripped of armor

Barest of essentials

Lacking existence

Experience in this

‘Brave New World’

Manufactured by you

For Me

Sunrise

Sunrise

I’ve climbed all

These mountains

Scratched and battered

Vast and unending

Fear my tomorrows

Unfinished yesterdays

Standing here

Perceived Plateau

Hopeful Your

Sunrise will

Still

Light my Way

Renewed

August 30, 2019Poetryhope, life, poem, poet, PoetryDrew B

Renewed

Veritably attached

Feelings fret about

Controlled by

Words

Spoken

Not

Stressed, intensity

Controlled by

Things I

Cannot

Change

Each day though

Renewed by

Hope

Fits and Starts

August 29, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovefound, lovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

Fits and Starts

I walked into

Everywhere you

Memories in song

Mostly in my writing

All my places

All along

It’s the million of parts

Fits and the starts

You’ve washed through

And into my heart

Desperately addicted

You keep me alive

From falling apart

[DB]

Transparent

August 28, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslive, lovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

Transparent

Forethought impossible

In Time

Knowledge increases transparency

Lost on him

The words

Smiles as frown

Thoughts unshared

Touches withheld

Built this

Stained glass opaque

Until

This very moment in time

Without her

He now

Sees clearly

Silence

August 16, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslife, lovefound, poem, poet, Poetry, questionDrew B

Silence

Immortal this feeling

Of denial and time

Inebriated in hope

Drowned in crime

One wishes silence

Golden caked

In purity it wakes

Spews forth in noise

Words fall free

Outside their poise

Barriers fall and

Time stands still

Once this flood erupts

No returning back

Pristine removed

Silence corrupts
