Realities Dreaming
DubJDaddy Aug 2022
I had a dream about you
As real as life can seem
And why should I awake
If you are waiting there for me

Your beauty does not cease
Through pain or ecstasy
And I will not let go, here
If you'll remain with me.

There's mystery in your eyes
as clouds by a midnight moon
Fantasies uplift your mind
As real, as your heart blooms

So, why am I so lucky,
to have these thoughts of thee ?
To know you, is to love you,
and I am not asleep

Deja View
DubJDaddy Aug 2022
When your heart breaks, the shards fall into your spirit, piercing your soul!

Often simple mistakes cost us so much joy, of course the payment can be taken from us over our lifetime.
We carry pain like a secret note safely tucked away but always near.
I can read aloud my suffering but it will never describe my struggle.
I am tangled within from a love without and she mangled her heart, because she never held back.
So I am broken again, like I'm living a loop and because I was late, her sails had took wind.

My home is now empty and her backs to my view and never did she turn to say,
I loved you

Forget Me Not’s
DubJDaddy Nov 2017
Beauty is often lost
Just to be picked up by wondering youths.
No petal unturned each torn away and set free.
Where the fragrant prayers rise from the discarded sound of each love me not.
May each step be softer for those who follow.
May freshly pruned branches be placed around your intimate tables with new wine and laughter

Perception
DubJDaddy Jul 2017
In one facet I shouldn't complain  
In the right light I'm relatively sane
Like a prism broke down exposed and laid out
You see the dark in contrast surrounds
The image is muddled with two thoughts of mind
Strokes of different intentions,Where colors cross lines
Are the outcomes the same to all those who view this?
Some get up close and others keep distance
Some see the whole and others the strokes
If to only see what they're seeing I hope.
How you see yourself
How others see you
How you want to be seen

Dancing with Vampires
DubJDaddy Jul 2017
Trust no one.
All will deceive you.
Trying to ensnare.
Holding you to their lies.
Cloaks for disguise
Masks for the fools.
A ball for all those.
Who dance with the flys.

True faces are hidden.
When verbiage employed.
Intentions unbalanced.
As they allude to the truth.
Hearts have been missing.
Your misplacement enjoyed.
Lured to intentions.
The light ****** from you.
Invitation to a feast.

GasLight District
DubJDaddy Nov 2015
In the gas light district
We can walk along
Shadows dance eloquent
To a flickering song
Of a memory to be
As we continue to talk
Crisp Airy feelings
Awaken a dawn
This heart on my sleeve
You say a corsage
Looks better on you
We Agree
With a smile and a nod.
Put down your phone and talk ;)

Ocean Maiden
DubJDaddy Oct 2015
The breath from her lips my enchanting vice.
She calls with silent motive in fluid flight, My name
I hear my name on the crest of her *****
In the break of the wave I'm an Argonauts Knight
Beckoning to my Siren.

My Heart races in the ocean foam
My blood marches to your pheromones
She's the promise, a prism of Masters eye
Mystique proscenium.

Her smile floods my thirsty soul
Jealous as the west wind embraces
Truth is you're more than mortality speaks of
You bathe in the full moon of my mind
Where visions echo dreams
That make me race to you at night
I've been lured by an enchanting song into your rocky shore

Painters Dream
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
Eyes try to imagine
A face upon the sound
Lost, silly and triumphant
Your ghostly but around

Encouragement is kisses
Holding hands within a phrase
Giggling intentions  
Two brushes that are frayed

Imaginations driving
Your powerful a thought
For you the painter's waiting
The longing never stops

Your heart holds every color
Much like a page that's plain
Into your dreams I'm leaping
If to only sign my name
The heart pulls us into visions, thoughts and imaginary scenarios.
Often just for the moment but the dream continues to call you.

Blessed Feast
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
Oh Great Haiku in the sky
Send sweet releaf from tears you cry
Our minds are barren
Our papers dry
Flood our seeds of poetry
A harvest soon approaching
A festival of frowns & smiles
All are welcome, Men, Women, Child
From there to now and then
We feast upon the blessed poem.
Not a Haiku. lol
Not that I can differentiate one from another

Beyond Everything
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
Just left
Not just physically
Found myself between
sun-rays
Enlightened and free
a page empty
Shades that I choose
blue's, grey's and green
Drop in the stream
down my face
I blend into this place
I am without a trace
Beyond everything
you embrace
So get away
my Darling's
Run into the trees
Embrace the falling colors
Times as a fleeting dream
Beauty is adventure
hiding in the leaves
Soon the wind doth blow
Cold hands you will meet
When Winter winds expose
you!
Eventually
Take a moment. Take a breath. Take yourself away.
Life is here when you return.

Choose wisely
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
Why when life can be so hard, confidence destroyed in me
I had some faith in who I was, but nothing's as it seems
And when I thought I had someone, none to bolster me
These struggles tell of tale's, or maybe loss of dream's

Who's fighting for my love and defends me when I'm down
I search without condition, am I lost and can't be found
Yes, peace and joy have safety, but vanished with out a sign
Within my worldly battles there's none to hear my plight

Why not mimic ugly and what they do to one another
Am I just a cynic in my battle against the other's
A war cry of a cricket for the wounded's dreams
Its hard to wage a war that's right, when your left without a team

Warm hope in whom to hold, when the frigid bites
This is life, it's ways are cold, choose wise who's on your side
For those who only fight for self will never pay you mind
They'll strip you of your covers, leave you sleepless in the night

Wounds have left me unprotected, adrift upon the Sea
You quickly pushed me off the plank, now a line you throw to me
Do I grab this hand of risk or shall I die to thee
I'll sink beneath the murky pain, its rushing calm I breathe

Accessories of love on confidence attire
From a Mate, a friend, the confidant, you held up to the fire
Commitment to these dreams keeps no time for the fear
The breath of shared desire, whispers in my ear

Stick to your investment, great loves have all took work
Focussing on others, somehow mends the hurt
But nurse me with reassurance, shower this loving man
For this is what I long for, as broken as I am
Been through some things. Lifes battles are easier when you're not alone.

Footing
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
He gave me this everything
I never knew I had it all
I'm sorry for what I didn't say
And when I didn't do at all
I'll call you more often
Look to you for my strength
You gave me my footing
So I can carry this weight

Here in this amazing grace
On this blue little ball
After work my wife's embrace
To my children I call
"Come back home for dinner"
Sit hear at the table we pray
Grateful for this moment and
Thank God for everything
Things can be worse and maybe I should be thankful for what I have now.

You're living it
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
If I was to write a poem
I would write,-You Are Living It
My whole life would fit
Inside of a Limerick

Words are feeling fragments
Fiend a trend and fend a friend
Here you read, hear you sing
Poetry
Calls you home
Calls you home
Poetry
Hear you read, here you sing
Feed a trend and friend a fein
Words are feeling fragments

Inside of a Limerick
My whole life would fit
I would write,-You're Living It
If I was to write a poem
Just missing around

Dawn's Dare
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
Where do I go from here?
Share my hopeless despair?
Cared for emotions are rare.
Faired erosion we're square.

Gone and maybe forgotten.
Songs of baby's and Mama.
Long are days on the bottom.
Onward my crazy mantra.........
Sometimes the struggle is real

Foreseen
DubJDaddy Sep 2015
I seen you more than once within the halls of friendship doors
But it was only once that I pierced into your soul
and seen a hidden treasure that is buried upon the shore
nestled in the shade where it blooms for evermore.

In this single instance I brushed aside my life
foreseeing a lovely vision of the two of us intwind
not every moment perfect but side by side we'd  fight
So vivid was this portrait that it only needed light.

Our fingers married feelings that rippled through our hearts
Your lips they whisper healing safely in the dark we spark
with a tender silent message ......I will not depart.
I call upon these thoughts for this is where we start.

— The End —
