Untitled 11/5

Dreams shine bright

glowing like a California sunset.

Dreams of you; a beautiful sight

as I hold you tight in a Jersey sunset.

basking in your radiant smile.

In shock that I was your choice;

as blood flows through my heart like the Nile.

With you found my soul can rejoice,

but it still exists as a mere dream

a reality only under a frozen moon

in a distant reality where love can beam;

where nightingales sing our tune.

In an instant, a dream becomes real life bliss

all with one passionate kiss

P.s. Also, buy my book here. Thank you.

Untitled 10/1

Head over heels,

but that leads to a hard fall.

To save ourselves from the collapse

we choose not to build;

yet we grow closer—

building a frame  

that was never intended.

A solid foundation pours

without a permit;

while the world watches

the building will grow

high to the clouds;

indestructible—

built to survive:

a testament to everything we are.

Haiku Volume 16

Hello people, today I bring you a few Haiku because I was yelled at (not really, but I was told I haven't posted any in a while), so here you are; enjoy.

I

Sign from an angel

spoken through emerald owls

held in Hathor’s hands.

II

Grass grows silently

waving in the summer breeze

not knowing doom lurks.

III

Silk golden hair sways

as you dance the night away

in another's arms.

IV

A drooling bulldog’s

snore breaks the silence of night:

dreaming of playtime.

V

Roses gray and wilt;

caught by an expected force:

an unexpected end.

VI

Rain falls all around

a lonely desert flower

pausing its demise.

VII

Your smile dances

each night as my head spins dreams:

haunting my morning.

VIII

Children laugh and play

with death on the horizon:

 unaware of fate.

Poem 7/2/17

Deep in sacrilegious thought—

a mere mortal mingled

with the heavens;

captivated by a golden goddess

blinded by beauty’s baby blues.

What could be the apotheosis of love;

prevented by the fear of the fall

as the goddess floats

back to the world she came

amongst those more worthy than I—

vanished amongst the stars

where my prayers are sent

to see heaven's smile again.

Poem 6/27/17

Tears fall from an angel

as fate destroys all hope—

as words sharpened to kill

dismember white wings,

dissecting a once full heart;

dismantling beauty.

Together no more;

left alone to perish

on a motionless pond

consumed by a sea of gray.

Red waves paint jagged rocks

hiding the path of a murderer;

eternity externally extinguished.

Untitled Poem 5/10/17

How can we be so close,

yet eons apart?

Born for one another

only to die alone.

My still heart awaits

the blood to pump again

as it shrivels to nothing—

a raisin in the sun:

dying.

An end that was foretold,

yet nothing was done to change it:

a destiny never collided.

Once again I will plug my book. Go buy my damn book; I need more money so I can launch my podcast "Shooting the Shit with Dan".

Untitled 5/8/2017

A Mirror hung on a gold gilded wall;

a reflection of a different future

where family portraits line a  hall.

A future where snow gently falls

untouched by man, woman, or animal.

A field tucked in for the night beneath the powder

dotted with oranged oaks.

A reflection of your beauty:

timeless.

A reflection where blue eyes show pain

beyond a perfect field:

a pain that the reflection is a falsehood.

Halls dotted with empty frames

where Intricate cobwebs live;

as the gold vanishes to dust

swept in the cold winter wind

amongst the dying trees.

The mirror cracks;

shattering to the floor

of a gutted home

A future abandoned.
