Such wayward gaze upon the moment siezed.
Indiscreet eyes slowly recieved.
Subtle movement to let it be known.
This look of admiration was not alone.
To shuffle around so as to be seen.
Hoping a spark will show it's brighten gleam.
If only the eyes were to meet it's achieving goal.
Without a doubt, two smiles will help love grow.
Anthony Mendoza Dec 2019
I blew a whisper into the wind.
To the world I send, it's journey begins.
Wayward bound it takes it's flight.
Endlessly passing through day and night.
To reach no end I have no fear.
Infinitely wrapped, so endeared.
It floats to the stars in which we came.
If you listen closely you'll hear your name.

The night ceases upon it's purple fold.
  Where dreams come hither and secrets told.
Imagination's melody played by the stars in tune.
  A silent seranade to us they croon.
Delusions and dreams are in sweet harmony.
  Swooning alone in night's symphony.

Wrapped among the moon's glow
I came to visit the grave of Poe
The night was still and smelled of old
But nothing like the stories told

I knelt to the grass in form of respect
Unaware of what to come or who to expect
Just then alas in surprised content
A figure stood standing, my eyes did invent

In his hand a bottle, the other a rose
And a bird on his shoulder, a raven of prose
His eyes, his eyes, my body did froze
As I stood face to face with a man called Poe

                     And he said

Welcome to the Raven's lair
Cast your eyes in it's haunted stare
Release your mind and thoughts to bare
Welcome back to the Raven's lair

Quoth he said " Nevermore."
Edgar Allan Poe has unlocked the door
Come let's drink and then explore
We'll sink in wisdom and mystery lore

Step on through this house of dream
See what words are made to be
Live a life you've never seen
Just relax and have a drink

Sip a wine you call desire
Toast to tears and shadows drowned in fire
Feel the house rise higher and higher
Or is it you being pulled down into the mire

Come with me now, oh morally one
See and taste what I have done
Hear The Bells sing as they strike the sun
Hear them ring softly as they wither to none

In sorrow this tale, remember it's plight
For you are the feather, the one who must write
I'll leave you now with the coming of light
Remember, remember, remember this night

                Quoth he said "Nevermore."

Serenity
Serenity
A gentle Rose thou shall be
Your Autumn teardrop shall be remembered
And blown to the stars on winds of grandeur
          Stunningly creed of Venus fair
           Arrayed in twinkling vines of Angels hair
Smiles so splendor in moon's softest light
I walk on your whispers, I dance in your night
Your song has brought me comfort, your heart my full desire
It penetrates my soul, your sweet melody, and quickens the joy within my smile
          Truest heart felicity
          Serenade of poetry
A midnight dream both you and me

Strangers confide in the unexpected
For they are also a mystery to themselves
Their faces are blank and ready to drawn upon
You decide what soul they will have or how smart they will be
Wandering
Gathering
Unfamiliar ghost in their silent gazing
Unknown identities
Are you afraid?
Can you talk?
Searching and searching for unspoken diaries and their secret word mutations
Reaching for a transparent hand that isn't there and greeting the eyes of those who don't know you
Anthony Mendoza Dec 2016
A finger of sunlight
Pressed on the window
And my eyes awake to it's streaming call
If it knew I was here
It would send a shadow
To spell my name upon these walls

Sleep eludes my soul
And I hear the morning whispers
Of the voice of dawn arrive
Let me be
I ask of thee
To rest my spirit and close my eyes

A splinter of day
Against my skin
And it's warmth resides to prey within
It heats my soul
With burning sin
And throws the ashes into the wind

Its been this same dream
For all my years
I wish it could let me be
Imaginations
Spilling over
And drowning me
