nothing beautiful in
starting small
the beauty is in
remembering
how
small
you
started.
everything becomes
clear
when I hold you
in
my arms
A poem for my daughter.
Alternate version:

everything comes
into
clear focus
when I hold you
in
my arms
Margo May Apr 2016
from my first thoughts
in the light of day
to my last thoughts
in the darkest night,
may You be the
center
of them all.
may You consume them
like never before.
may You have my
undivided attention.
may You hold
my focus.
Dawn of Lighten Apr 2016
The night seeped with fog and haze,
As the bloom of darkness smothered in icy breeze chilled within the spine.

The night shall kneel before the coming dawn, for the stroke of rumbling and the tremor verbatim the heart asunder.

The silent roses scream from inner chamber kept in a personal vault, while I try to remember the tune that once allowed me to become a fluid.

I shall keep those brilliant nights tucked away at the edge of the earth, because not all was a bad experience meant to be dispersed, but cherished like a torch in a fog and haze.

For I know dawn shall lit the night anew,
And left by the spirit of moments unraveled.
Not all past has to be forgotten, nor should it be dwelled, but consumed as a scent of flower bloom.

After
all this time,
it doesn't matter
who--
my mind
just seems
to wander
directly
back
to you.
bleh.

Focus
this moment won't last forever
Focus
take it in, not only the better
Focus
on our heavy breaths synchronizing
on the way that our bodies mold perfectly together
Focus
on his eyes, his chest, his lips on my collarbone
Focus
on the tree outside the window
that has been an umbrella to our love
Focus
on the bandaids on my arm
blocking the gory scars from a quick relapse
Focus
on the pleasure
that only he could cause
Focus
this moment won't last forever.

A poem about coffee
How cheap
How over used
A poet speaking on coffee
Is like a politician making a promise

But this is where we live
Our inner self brought out by consuming
Coffee, *****, drugs, love....

Pick your poison and get writing.

Act , with a a Pen in Your Hand
Claim Now Your Decree
He is Mine
Just as You Are
That's my Flame
A Heart for a Mind
A Body for the Flesh
Instant Messanger of the Soul

For the Moment Calls Me
to Its Excitment
And It's Lust
-df Mar 2016
In my dreams I see you driven by passion.
The passion I wish I could have.
You motivate me to become something more.
I'm awoken in a way I've never been before.
Everyone else is a blur, since you are my focus.
When I'm falling you catch me.

And yet, we haven't crossed paths.
