Delight

 

a new way to say

the words of the day…

ascending the throne

claiming my own

insight.

 

humble indeed

the rumble you see

but sudden abrupt

stirrings erupt.

delight.

Dimly lit

 

As one slight hate

on whom it

reflects so rude,

so one night late

a room dimly lit

effects a mood.

Oh!

the passion

this life offers those

that pass on with senses froze…

In utter abandon

I leave my hand on

the very page of time.

This Elusive…

 

Searching…an innate impulse

reaches toward that prize.

Sole purpose of this pen’s compulse,

so that some would realize

I mean…

serene…

within a verse disguised

logic’s eyes repulsed.

 

Slowly…inspired these thoughts

follow along the Way.

A Way no gold has bought

nor truth commanded pay

for toll…

or control…

of such the pleasant Ray.

The One which is sought.

 

Revealed…so often moody

is this hidden goal.

Answer soon will soothe thee

and quench this fire of soul.

And tame…

The flame…

…burning…writhe and roll…

This elusive written beauty…

How much sanity

can one stand,

among the chaos

Self-healing aside

So much the wonder

Quiet and solitude

FOR US

 

to us, too,

me and you,

the attributes of love

that lift the songs

This sonnet a revolution. Sure!

‘gainst lakes of fire

‘n fallen angel’s content.

And dramatic master’s old invent…

Fading as a nameless rose… no scent, sir!

No longer like the sun, my muse, my slurs

 battle for freedom earned down home, heav’n sent!

Afore my vision, my ‘spiration’s spent

schooling like the vain and most unhumbler.

Not to worry, I rebel for me, as me.

My revere hollers from horseback horsely,

signaling, “Three!” (invading spiritually)

Himself an invader matter, of coursely,

 as the poet unknown universely

have all your dreams come true…

 

when you think you know

then the chilly winds blow

your life away

where do you go

to find a place where hope will stay

 

and when there’s light

at the end of an infinite night

will it ever be true

will it ever be right

that it lights a sky eternally blue…

 

so if there is a sound

of deafening silence around

and the sound’s the sound of you

when you’ve been found

have all your dreams come true

Found only one place.

Mature, sublime.

Patience, time, space…

Space between all,

Time to travel through…

Patience stands tall.

a new gaze into the same sun

always blinds the eye.

as the glare fades,

the scene begins to die,

becoming like the older ones.

out of my lonely

Right or wrong

On a night all alone

My heart bleeds

And my mind conceives

Nothing but pain

Can drown in the rain of

Experience

so much the glory, so little the sin

 

the unworn road awaits

the ill traveled path calls

as the romantic bards state

and the life reiterate

the truth like snowflakes falls

 

we that travel down

the Way realize

a choice seldom comes ‘round

tuning the ear to our rare sound

becoming what we idealize

 

the Way lets us live much more

and the way not taken knows it’s true

this road leads to that open door

where heartbeats quicken and spirits soar

appreciate the morning dew

 

whatever beckons us this Way

stirring us from deep within

tells us just how and what to say

fresh and new the crisp spring day

so much the glory, so little the sin

that dog trouble growls deep

 

coldly crouching at my door

loving his discomfort. the old damp floor…

snapping always at my heels

my glimmer of hope he threatens to steal

 

never will he stop his cruel game

water falling torture and pain…

lowly are you when he knows

from whence you came and wither you go

 

In my warm heart complete

he chills the beat as he eats

and fear forever creeping seeps…

that dog trouble growls deep

The clean hands of darkness.

 

I became what I am

and learned what I need to be.

In Christ’s Blood I swam

in that house by the way-free.

Sisters taught such

wise, wise lessons

about the trinity that touched

men and overwhelmed nations.

 

Universal doctrines

profoundly my past.

reading then religion…

Enlightened, everlast.

The keys given to the rock

and as ever his love stark. Thus,

the stone rolled away and mocked

the clean hands of darkness.

my life

 

exceeding the boundary of love…

slapping life’s face with dueling glove,

arousing the fury forever!

allowing the struggle to end. never!

to the firey fringe of time’s edge,

to travel’s light step I pledge,

my life

innocence

 

somewhere we quake

before the sight

come where at stake

was He for the light

 

away from the crowd

is That which cries

today dumb though loud

is That which dies

Infinity

 

One mind controls

thoughtfulness.

The others known

when shown distress.

Stable is

our life, thusly,

when balanced

this reality

becomes our relation…

Salvation.

 

If only received

as meant to be,

the joy of life,

as fruit from tree.

Spirit mind

and bodily,

our Maker gives

tranquility.

A fruit so sweet…

Complete.

 

This mind that works

with one and three,

within itself

is two, you see.

Those that know,

know more or less

that divinely shown

is happiness.

Through Trinity…

Infinity.

 

 

 

 

 

The last cry of youth… Hope.

 

A poet proceeds after time disallows.

Allowing himself that fountain

of DeLeon to flow forever.

His yearning can’t be taken by time,

only given up to the labor of life.

Life’s labor closes the flow if Hope

is lost in the despair of the day.

Though knowing despair well,

 Hope is never lost to him.

 

As hearts cry and sing, youth captures

and tames the fury, producing Hope.

The aged and saged have lost such

aspirations to the young of their day.

Their rebellion now futile and their

conformity routine, they turn to create

the strain on which youth thrives.

Conveyed emotion through the perception

and perspective of youth is poetry.

 

Elders search for the Peace everpresent

among the children’s laughter.

Play is death to the old, their play

being harder than their work.

Shells of flesh collapse under the weight

of happiness unrealized.

Trying to remember such gladness myself…

Fading into agedness, into the subtle beginnings

of death… I Hope.

The last cry of youth…Hope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lightly thinking

I’ve noticed the complexity

of subtle thought

realizing the absurdity

of such notions

leads to a cold Yank back to reality

 

expressions of timelessness

proceed along the boundaries of the time

leaving art as foams remain

after receding tides endlessly bubbling away

 

what remains then is skimmed

as cream from life’s bucket

and a tear’s not shed for droppage

for unappreciated is lonely thought

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

forevermore

 

‘stead that cheer

those younger sought

inspiration’s stilled

and sadness bought

love above all

can heal and yet

sad ways imposed

then self won’t let

success is born

then stifled by

mother earth

father and time

the bird’s not black

so high it soars…

youth awaits

forevermore

flame

 

 

lightly if flits

possessing no substance

frightening is its

quick-heated dance

for in its consumption

of whatever is chooses

sudden abruption

of life that is loses

can only be done

if under control

of maker who’s one

if not lost is all

the day broke

the night awoke

the morning dawned

the evening yawned

and so will I

 

the earthen owed

the waters flowed

the darkness ashed

the lightness flashed

and so did I

 

the fears died

the heart abides

the patience won

the spirit reborn

and so am I
