Overcoming thoughts of You
20 November 2016
The days fading fast
Into oblivion of nights
Detonation blast
The mind’s explosion
Into realms of darkness creep
Whispers of autumn
Widowed eyelids weep
Parting of the eyebrows raised
Holding soft the gaze
Remnants of spring’s path
Sun kissed blossoms now fading
The weeds invading
Gardens in simmers
Under a sun that glimmers
Dying rays wet kiss
Water down the hills
Dark tides flowing into sands
Ice into Islands
Ebb and flow pursue
Within the changing seasons
Shades of my mind’s blue
Hope of morrows faint
Reflux a lesson of tides
Tireless happenings
Rearranging stills
Breathing through invented gills
Dead canvas to paint
The brush strokes in clues
Overcoming thoughts of You
Bold red and blue hues
Reading of the poem:
Soldier of Love – Sade
King of Sorrow – Sade
By Your Side – Sade
Loved the haunting sad tone and the imagery. Really good stuff!

Thank you Hector. How kind of you by the way. I was busy with the Alex Broun Play Festival where I directed three plays and acted in one (was wonderful though time consuming). I read your poems over email mainly 🙂

Welcome Wendell. She is one of my favourites too. In fact the next poem will also include one of her songs. Have a blessed evening dear brother, for me it is the beginning of the day. God bless us all indeed.
