Shattered Dreams

Uncertainty arises at its peak

Seconds of profound nothingness

Reaching into your soul

For bits of strength

Knowingly embracing

A version of truth,

A subtle calmness

Professes within you

Be it here or there,

Shallow spirits will not wither,

While the darkness of evil

Attempts to make them quiver

Shadows of thoughts

That rage in fear

Staggering reminders

That the end is near

Just a moment in time

Can heal shattered pieces

That vaguely resemble

What once stood there, after this affair

A glimmer of light

Reaches to make it right,

Struggles with heavenly shame,

Can never bring what has been taken away

This is the first poem that I wrote in 2014. As a semifinalist, I was given the opportunity for my poem to be published in the multivolume series Beyond the Sea. Copyright 2015 by Eber & Wein Publishing.

Anxious Moments

Splendid, but anxious moments

Arise as if to be alone in harmony

Sights of brightness travel

Eternity is my demise

Tender moments of golden sights

Cries of help as if to defy

Natures hand descends to bring a balance

To what seems to say

Crystal drops,

As a reminder of deeds

Anxious to say what lies beneath

Who can guess the results of things?

If only some will understand,

What private moments can become

Interesting as it may seem

Following seeds of simple facts

Wondering moments that need no ties

Letting go fulfills no spirit enlightening

If all will listen to silent thoughts

That all surprise leaving

Deep encounters of the mind

Teardrops behind, One by one,

Anxiously in time

That quietly waits for what lies ahead

Awaiting Answers

Deep inside the unknown,

Creeping feelings and anxious moments

Silence peacefully awaits, stillness that overcomes

Shadows of uncertainty,

Struggles of faith encounters all minds

Focus on illness, which is unseen

Embodied with terror all will await to see

Sorrow and despair wait until midnight hours

Seemingly wanting to touch and surprise

Feelings that are knowingly there

Keeping what awaits during hours of truth

Love at a distance may be true

Seeking amazing things when only true love amuses

Standing in peace can only bring

The joys of life you’ll never know

Wishful joys, await for more

Come with me, my love is for thee

Seconds of spoken words . . . Where do they go?

Nervous thoughts run through your head

Anxious moments of praise

Unknown desires are hidden in surprise

Words that shout, I have something to say!

When lovely moments are playing inside

True sounds of melodies have all desires, wishful words

What if it should be that partners in love

Can still survive, the endless pain which is inside

While lots of people will never say

What really happens when love strays?

Thoughts of wisdom back away

Desires in need of consideration walk in peace

Trying to find answers to all things that besiege,

Teardrops run down your cheeks allowing doubts to succeed

Never let them take away all the endless hours of pray

Loved ones will say that trust survives above all things

While feelings of desire will always come your way

Anxious moments indeed, wither away!

That Moment

Anxious moments of opportunities

Betray the thoughts of straying away

Lonely nights a wait at a distance to say

What happens to people who betray?

The trust of one another

Shivering inside a window pane

All honesty is taken away and will stand to inspire

Touching lives of innocence minds into deep encounters

Wanting to reach dreams that afloat

Meanings utter simple ways

Of keeping all the precious things that will stay

Nice encounters of two ways to teach

Aimless minds of things at your reach

Distant Accounts

Distant appearances of thoughts

Trying to connect feelings and sweetness

Cries from afar have tendencies to
