Dust In the Sunbeam

Dust in the Sunbeam Dust floats in and out of time and Cold terrors tremble within this warm beam I’m tiring of this existence Where love exists unbound No longer too timid to tell of tailored hearts unwound Within this path shallow words ring hollow Within this tired tirade of passion I weep Sticking to my guns of disbelief I slide into With your rose clenched I keep cool Sunbeams take this precious tame time away and allow To trust in me your world of particles spinning to and fro Living within this world of licking bare skin Sunbeams I need dust to redeem that life which is not a lie And confirm that taking hold of everything is all this world wills Whisper into my mind the torrid tackling of true trouble I’m against the wall, jeans scraping I’m waiting for disaster, waiting for my time I’m with you always and it is in the means and methods you find me In the dust my love is not lost or low Yet, along living beams I travel And that is truth Told you I was real, racy and riddled with wine lines I’m the epitome of the street signals and cityscape Scattered in your dreams of pavement pounded and wrecked Beams are my obsession and within this I live You have to take with you, no You have to leave me here

This is a very different kind of poem. I like this image you have created in the symbol of the sun beams. Very lovely.

Great poem. I like how you describe the poetry you had written above as "wine lines." Helped tie the visual in my head together more.-Pat IV
