I must only dream
For I shall never see the gleam
Of a lovers face
Especially not one in my place
I am lonely
For I am the only
One without a pair
And no one cares
I cry at night
For my life is without a light
All night in bed
I dwell in my head
Watching the one
But in reality there is none
So wake me up when time ends
For I have no friends
And no love to share this life with
At the moment I think that’s all a myth
All love seems gone
Can someone prove me wrong?

Over coffee I saw the world
Over coffee I saw troubles
Over coffee I saw secrets unfurled
Over coffee I saw the impossibles

Over coffee the day broke
Over coffee the day did pass
Over coffee the day moved the slowpoke
Over coffee the day was forecast

Over coffee one can think
Over coffee one can work
Over coffee one can drink
Over coffee one can make artwork

Over coffee I made love
Over coffee I made a kiss
Over coffee I made a paper dove
Over coffee I made this
So many things to do
And no better way to do them
Then with a cup of coffee in your hand
Dez Apr 2020
If this was the last day of my life
I would say I’ve wasted life
A youth am I
And yet I know death is close by
Day by day life and time walk by
They never say hi
They just let you sleep
And later reap
What you have sown
They know I am flesh and bone
And that my life is a vapor
And I am as fragile as paper
But throughout these few years
I have increased my fears
For each day I forget
That my years are set
And I might not add nor subtract
So from now on I must always act
Never fall slack
For if I do I’ll fall back
Never gain
Anything but pain
So I must forget the past
Make the present last
And with the future in mind
Work hard so I might find
A full life without wast
And win this difficult race
That I have been set to face
And win this race I have been set to face

Passion fills, in some it kills and in others it heals
But it all depends on what your passion deals with.
Dez Oct 2020
Oh how wicked is my sin bent heart
Daily should it be struck through with a dart
For when it is not crucified it does dart
To the sin, for which my savior was pierced through the heart!

Oh let me not be so fickle my Lord
Let me ever stumble backward
For yet a little slumber I can not afford
Else my poverty shall be the reward

Let it not be I who blasphemy’s by doing that which my Savior
did died for
You have given me a way therefore
help me walk by the strength which is yours
Oh this prayer do not ignore!

So, let I pray thee, your servant never slumber
Let me not rest from good labor
Rather provoke me, as a good father to your work evermore
If weary I shall rest in thee

Every day help me put to death the pride that be sets me
It is I who doth fight against my self!
I surrender it to you my farther!
Give the victory as you have promised

Not for my glory!
For I know it is not on my own that I even have this desire
But so others might see your glory reflected in this shattered mirror!
Then they shall glorify you!
And all magnification shall be yours!

Oh my God so let it be!
Dez May 2020
Storm clouds and trees
Birds and bees
Meadow with a breeze
Violent winds on stormy seas
All people see these
But only do poets turn into seeds
For others to turn into deeds
But what will you do with what a poet feeds?
And another reads
Will you take heed?
Dez Apr 2020
Dear God holy you are
And surpass me by far
Your thoughts I could never understand
But one day I shall see you in glory land
Where I shell utter praises evermore
For you are not some made up folklore
You are the King of Kings
And on you rests my whole being
My words to fall short
Of giving a report
Of your greatness and might
Of which I now do write
For though I now compose
Feeble words to up lift he that arose
One day I shall sing
Praises for eternity to the king
But for now I shall be content
To write my words
And worship you with the birds
And point to you
The only God that’s true
Praise be to your name
None other is the same
I close with this
Though your glories I could ever list
That you are ever great
But you came to earth and set your own fate
To face the cross
And to suffer loss
To save me from they wrath
And to set me on a new path
All for your glory
For this is all your story
Praise to the maker of men
Amen
Dez Apr 2020
I pray tonight
For thy light
To shin so bright
That I lose sight
Of this earthly plight
And all I see is thy might
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
(Psalms 71:20)
Dez Mar 2020
Can you relate
To the people you do hate?
Are you like them in some small way?
Or are you so resentful that you always turn away?
Pause a moment and check and see
If all of this might be
A thing you fail to see
Because its not without
But rather it's inside of people like you and me?
Dez May 2020
There’s a bright silver lining to every storm cloud
There’s a hope in the sky when the rains pouring down
The sun will soon shine if we just hang around
And I’ll love you forever
Even when the rains pourin down
To my best friend
Dez Apr 2020
I walk along the stars
I’ve seen Jupiter and Mars
But for the life of me
Earth I will never see
For reality disapproves of those who dream
but I believe one can learn from him
If you don’t believe
Don’t leave
Just want and see
Four things he has taught me
Though life seems to only through obstacles
Never stepping stones
But what I've learned is the obstacles won't break your bones
So do your best
And ask God to help you through the rest
He'll be there to comfort you
And you can trust that through and through
Another lesson that I've learned is that dreams don't come true
Unless you want them too
So wake up early
And go to bed the same so you're not surly
And work for what you want
But keep in mind those who often flaunt
Often never have the important things in life
Things like a caring family and a loving wife
So in all your dreaming and all your working
Never forget what is most important
And that is the important rule of all
Dez Mar 2020
We stared at the stars
For that was your home
You came from heaven
To dwell with me, a heathen

Why? I’ll never know.
But at the time I never wanted to go.
Then came a devil,
And I chaste her for she was on my level.

I know not why
I was so foolish to say goodbye!
I left you alone,
And now I’m skin and bone.

For in leaving you, my love.
I lost my life, now your above!
Do not accept me back,
For sense I do lack.

I now I know I was wrong
And now do sing this sorrowful song.
I seek your forgiveness,
Accept me not for I deserve the stillness.

So this is my recognition
Of my wretched condition.
Thank you for coming to the low,
And for the part of heaven you did show.
To the breakup's that were my fault.
Dez Apr 2020
And rest is sweet
till the birds tweet
For that is when you meet
The dawn
And your left to yawn
Dez Mar 2020
As the sun rises,
Man reaches,
But only those who rise like the sun
Will be able to touch what they are reaching for.
Dez Mar 2020
Done I said when I went to bed
But today is new and yesterday is so dead.
So I took another dose
And went off stubborn as a post
But know it is night and I am done writing for I am in bed.
Every night what do you go to bed saying your done with?
Just to get up and do it again the next day?
Dez Apr 2020
Woke before the dawn
Think back to when we first met
Get ready then we part
Dez Mar 2020
Poetry is all the same.
It is love and hate
Of emotions great.
So why would I ever write?
Is there more to say?
No but I may
State it in another way.
And make it mine
And relate to others when they read these lines.
Dez Mar 2020
Look upon my misery
Trapped here on this island
You think we want to lure men to injury?
Think that we want to call this our homeland?

We sing these beautiful songs
And cry for help
And the men come in throngs
But at the beauty their minds do melt

And though they struggle to free us
They dash their ships on the rocks
All for what, to free us?
And so now the god's do mock!

My feathered friends
Do feel the same
For they too hate to see men bend
And hate how we are forced to sing a song so lame

But what about you?
You have listened to my plea
And you are still sane along with your crew
Come save us from this island and make us free!

Closer now
In to the fome
Watch your bow
Your entering my home...

On to the rocks you cast your ship
Your mind still set
On the words that came from my lips
It is fate that you just met

Lame is the song I sung
But you fell as others will
On every word you hung
So I shall sing it still.
Dez Mar 2020
Scars
are mars
and bars
from my bizarre
memoirs.
See
Dez Mar 2020
See
Coming and going my life is blowing
around about the trees I am in the leaves
You can not feel me
I am he who does tease
Never harsh
I am still as a marsh
I am not, and yet I am
Canst thou guess who I am?
My name is one and is quite well known
Children fear me when they are alone
Yet I am always present
save in the presents of he who is omnipresent
Behind the stars, I like to lie
And in the shadows of people passing by
I love the night
and do hate the light
If you have not guessed
It might be for the best
For me to share my name
It is darkness.
Now can you see?
Dez Mar 2020
In dark woods of green
I am looking for my love
Seek, but she is not
She
Dez May 2020
She
She fell for the face
She was in love with the feeling
She was only there for the chase
She wasn’t even aware of the real thing
But now she knows how pain tastes
It wasn’t her fault for dealing
She was just out of place
Now she’s staring at the ceiling
For I left without a trace
Sorry I lost feeling
Some times it's my fault sorry...
Dez Apr 2020
She said open up
So I did for I trusted
But then she said shut up
Now I am busted
Dez Mar 2020
Short poems are the best
For they get their point across
And don't dilly dally in the extra stuff
I wish I could write one
But every thing I try to say
Comes out in such a fanciful way?
Dez Mar 2020
If God made all to be great
Then why would you hate?
It is because you can't see
That you tend to be
In this state of seeing
Others and coveting
Their powers
When in truth
You have not touched
What God gave you!
Dez Mar 2020
When sleep doth take hold who shall not fold?
Dez May 2020
Every one needs someone
Even if it’s just themselves
But I need someone
Who needs more then themselves
For I can not continue to run
Where loneliness dwells
Dez Apr 2020
I used to speak my mind
But I was always losing it
Now I keep it in
But now no one knows me
Dez May 2020
Stay with me
Just long enough for me to see
That you truly love me
Sorry I’m needy
But I want more than your pity
I need you to love me
I guess that’s the key
But only you could unlock me
So stay with me
Just long enough for me to see
That you do truly love me
Dez Mar 2020
God in glory
told his story
Man On earth
Seek new birth
The Bible is more then just a story
Dez Mar 2020
I do strive for you
And you alone.
Though all I am is flesh and bone
I will battle the world for you alone
Though my strength is small
And my manners not fit for a ball
I would dance my heart out and call
For you to be my sweet, sweet doll
I know my rhymes are lame
But you are such a dame
That I could not but name
All that I would do
If I could simply have you!

So I do strive for you
And you alone.
Though you may come
From above and I am but ****
But I will try not to be so dumb
Yet my heart is as a drum
But it seeks a rhythm
And it is a song of love that I hope to hum
But that is to you
If you decide to be my bride.
Dez Mar 2020
Struggles, struggles, struggles. We all have them, but no one speaks of them. They are our dark secrets we hide in the closet’s of our mind, and they only come out when we are too weak to hide them any longer. They crush us when we least expect it, and some dare not show another for fear they will betray their secret to the world. And others keep silent for they think that their own power can hold them back. Still, others hid for they fear no one else shares their battle and therefore, will not be able to help. Where do I stand? I am afraid to say, but I do believe I stand in all three states. Who will hear? Who will help? If I share, would you betray my trust and tell the others?
Dez Mar 2020
Many a poem have I uttered
Many a story have I muttered
For I have a bit to
To flit and flutter about
Many would say I’m dull
And others would still spout
That I should mull
Over what I write about.
For in speed these words do flow.
And these lines do come with ease
I mean not to tease
For I think my work is of low degrees.
But thank you for I am pleased
That you think my work has qualities
And modest vibrancy.
Dez Mar 2020
Well hello, she said to me,
And the thought that we could be
Did cross my mind but I could see
That it was just a dream.
But what if not!
Could it be?
That she could be
Standing here,
Next to me!
Yet how could I?
A poor of the poor
Be with this dear damsel?
Though I work
And often break my back
I get no slack
And never should I expect,
The very thought a reck,
That I might spend eternity
With this damsel of sovereignty!
Yet there she stood
As lovely as a misty wood
So full of life
So full of laughter
(And yet I was growing hotter)
And there was I a blessed *******
For it was her that I did see
And though life moved on
It was her I did lead on
To see the sights
And all the pleasantries.
As soon as I did bow to kiss
That damsel I loved best
The damming sun did warm my cheek
And I sat up staring
Almost quaking
For the thoughts I had were not in waking
But were in my sleeping!
Then did I almost weep
For I was in a deep, deep sleep
And the cursed sun did raise my head
From my dream and from my bed
And most of all away from the dove
That I did love.
Dez Mar 2020
There are many times I wonder
Is there a reason for me to ponder,
The purpose of their action
Against me for some small fraction?
Were they down for something that took place
Or were they in pain over missing someone's face?
Could it be that I was wrong?
In that, I offended
The one who has now ended
the relationship that we once commended?

Is there a reason for them to hate me
Because of one of my tendencies?
For sad to say but I am rather quirky
And can be as stupid as a turkey
But does that give a reason for them to hate me?

Should I be in their place
And I could see my face
Would it be filled with pride
Like the rising of the tide?

Or if roles were switched
Would it be, that I was pitched
Against my friend
Would I think I had reason to seek to bend
And break a friend
Or would I seek to mend the rift
That now does make us drift apart
Like iceberg now ripped apart.

Oh wait there is someone knocking
At the door of my apartment
****, the curtain is now blocking
My view of them that is now standing
One moment I will return to writing
After I see this visiter, who comes knocking.

…………………………………………………………..

If you guessed it to be
My friend that I did see
Then you'd be right
And what a sight
They came and cried
And did apologize
For the words that did scrutinize
Me so harshly spoken
Just the other mornin.

So I guess one must wait and see
If I would do the same as she
who did so come
and apologize for what was done.

When you hop the fence for greener grass you learn that the mass of green was cash. And that the friends you left were the only ones that would ever really last.

I am not
I am not
I am not
I am not
I am not
I am not
I am not
                         OR SO THEY THOUGHT
They nearly had me convinced
But then I tried
And found a different side
So from now on I'll always try
Even if I don't know why.
Dez Apr 2020
Help me I cry
Don’t leave me here to die
But they left me to lie
So goodbye
Tell my country I said hi
It was worth their freedom to die
Thy freedom is why
I did come here and sound the battle cry
Forget me not when you pass by
For my tomb is unmarked under the open sky
And thereby I'll never truly die
For I'll always be a passing memory to testify
Of all the names that were forgotten by and by

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
But with a single word I can paint on the canvas of your imagination a vivid picture that a painter could never compose
Dez May 2020
I write a thousand words to shape in your mind what I am feeling. I read a thousand words to understand how you are feeling. But for lack of knowledge I know not what is your meaning! For a thousand words would mere touch the surface when millions of feelings lay below the surface. What must we do to understand? What must I do to take your hand, and clasped in mine, take you to a place of comfort. Where at last you see a thousand words are not all there is to see.

Through a child’s eyes
All wickedness dies
The world is filled with lies
But through a child’s eyes
Everyone has second tries

Look at me
Tell me what you see
All failures arise
But wait...
Can you see me through a child’s eyes

Forgive me for my deeds
Let me sow new seeds
Sorry I have so many needs
But I am not fit to lead
But through child’s eyes
Dez Apr 2020
Time is short
And is not the sort
To be found
Wandering around
Rather he walks with his wife
Her name is life
And if you blink to slow
Right by you they’ll go
Dez Apr 2020
The awkward ness is real
Whenever you are near
But you don’t seem to notice
But I am always stumbling of my words
Asking stupid questions
Like what do you think of birds
You just smile and laugh
And I try to stand
As you just hold my hand
Then when the night falls
We walk the halls
And I listen to you talk
Of how you want to travel
But you have to wait
For the rest of your life to unravel
And as the hour is late
I take you home
And I am left alone
But your words are left in my head
And as I am lying in this bed
All I can think about is you
But do you think of me?
Dez Apr 2020
If you always wait to be motivated
At least you have the motivation to wait
For if motivation is often found
Not finding

But pay no minding
What do I know
I am not a poet
I am not a painter
I am not a sculptor
I am not a artist and I know it

But I have a little common sense
That has brought me this far
And one bit is that you should stop waiting
For fish are not caught with out bait
Neither do ideas come to mind
When you clear your mind

So stop your waiting to be motivated
Search for ideas
And soon you will write
Some thing far better
Then this tad bit
Of insight
Random thought #126

If I had a heart I could love you
But the one before you cut it out
Sew me up but you’ll find no pulse
That poor girl didn’t know
When she said, “its time for me to go”
She tore out the one heart that loved her
Now all the memories are just a blur
And when these new lovers come
I can’t help but be numb
For the life that was once there
Is now cold and bare
I’m sorry new lover
I just can’t discover
A way to replace the old heart
For it was ripped apart
By a girl who never new
That she killed me when away she away flew.
Dez Mar 2020
To touch a heart
is to be a part
of a work of art.
Dez Mar 2020
To whom should my heart go?
To which damsel should I say no?
I fear to trust may heart, for it is as stable as sand
And I know not where it might land.
I dare not judge by beauty,
For it does fade as a passing memory.
To know their character is my desire!
They are not as gold that is tested by fires
So to try their nature is rather hard
And I’d like to leave them unmarred.
Oh why is purity not easily found?
For my desire at times is to be bound
To one woman whom I can hold
And give her love untold.
Dez May 2020
Two birds flew above the steeple
Below were two people
This I saw through a peephole
And they were together made one soul
Never would another moment be dull
For in themselves were they made whole
But no one knows how the future will unroll
But I hope there love lasts longer than normal
For I know under pressure even coal
Can be transformed into something beautiful
So can two normal people be made to be something remarkable
To often we forget that the remarkable happens in what we consider normal.
Dez Mar 2020
Under the sod
that many trod
I lay asleep
My soul, the Lord does keep
Till time does pass
And eternity comes at last
I shall wait
As my body turns to worm bait.

My soul goes home to glory
Where I shall ever stay
And praise the one
Who is the Son
And to praise the Father
Who was my potter
And fashioned the body
That is now beneath thee.

’Twas a short life I lived
80 years the Lord did give
To me a gift
At times I squandered it
But never cease to ponder it
Why I was called to wander it
Would you please ponder it?
