Debbie Dickinson Poem
Riddles twisting through the scalps,
Trace the paths that wind about
Pouring out through the watery spout
Like waterfalls, inside and out
Possessed by a madness,
Sadness reaps my every thought
Isolated by my shadow, I’m laying in the dark
And the river flows faster as the ferry embarks,
Behind brown eyes, find a crimson spark
As your prayer begins,
He seeks the mark of a sin,
Let the silver sink in,
Embracing your skin
And while every breath escapes from your heart,
You ask him, “What makes thee force my depart?”
With a love so strong, “Till death do us apart”
Day after day, this phrase you’d impart.
But when all control is powered by a fiend,
Darkness meets light, and the two are convened.
The passion of one causes will to concede,
Even when sacrifice compels thee to bleed.
And nothingness gathers to deliver me downward
Live amongst souls, and regret begins to shower
Blind to your ravenous taste to devour
From the day we began, you’ve dwelled within power
But confusion arouses where you don’t understand
I continue to love you, beyond my command
Dare you to rid me, you think that you can
But I’ll linger in this stream, from now till your end.

Debbie Dickinson Poem
This beating heart keeps haunting me in the dark,
When the sun walks steps to the surface, painting a glowing fade
I try to forget, no I do not need to pursue the missing element
For the element may have a substitute, mirroring characteristics of it, as well
But why does this aching not depart?
What pumps through these chambers is a sickness, tearing me apart
And in the night, when breathing doesn’t exist in presence,
Silent and still, except for the beating of this heart
This heart is isolated, and it screams woe with every thump
Surpass the disgust of it and hunt prey till successful
But the bait fails to attract my desire, and I am once again defeated
And the nibble, which also teases my wretched heart, leaves me beaten
The element persists in mystery, and I sense how unattainable it is
If only I could seek means of expressing how strongly I covet you
Your everything, but in importance, your scarlet ardor
Oh, how I would decease the beating of my disturbing heart for the life of your striking love,
But then, where would I go?
I feel as if my movement would perish without you, my love
So I wait, hands on the clock now ticking louder than my horrid heart
My heart battles time, impatient of the day I can obtain my element
But perfect element, I shall wait for you.

Debbie Dickinson Poem
Sitting in his kingdom of endless riches
A man amused by material wishes
An infinite need for more and more
With limits on splurging most often ignored
But when one’s mind is ruled by a greed,
Trust cannot exist, because sin exceeds
Friends and family, nowhere to be found
Resistance to help, leaving lives on the ground
In the end, loneliness conquers his reign
Sitting in his kingdom of endless pain.
Free of the worries that modern day brings,
Like falling in love and buying new things
I lay in a realm of riches, content
Blind of the day, everlasting descent
My wife closely follows, shadowing me
With love and affection, dear Ann Marie
But distracted by that which glitters gold
Smiling, I gaze at the treasures I hold
Desire, infectious, inside it grows
Like an addiction that can’t be disposed.
Now, love isn’t seen as a priority
Instead, currency is my authority
With days that I spend on shopping sprees
Staying homebound does not come with ease
Clutched so tight, I cannot let it go
A craving for spending the money I own
Obsessed with the color, shades of green
Infatuated by my jade bloodstream
Pumps to my ravenous heart, so it seems
Leaving me greedy in powerless dreams
Escorted by luxury items and clothes
And though I want more I shall never dispose
Merely watching my inventory grow
Is this desire a friend or a foe?
For dispersed from my sickness, I sense worry
As those around me leave in a hurry
Attached to possessions held in my hand
Solitude calls me, alone I will stand
Who needs companions, untrustworthy friends
Money is abundant to me, free of ends
Forget those who leave, I’m all that I need
Apart from my beautiful Ann Marie
I love her so dearly, but where’s she been?
Viewing my love for money as a sin
Sightless I seemed, avoiding her love
When money and treasures were all I spoke of
Her heart must have obviously ached enough
A quick getaway, without even a bluff
A silent escape to isolate me
Alone in this mansion, alone I will be.

Debbie Dickinson Poem
Determining which bridges to burn
As I stand tall, after the tables have turned
Thoughts fall, and burn fires through the floor
Igniting loose ends to the ties that you tore
No more smiles to be forced, I abhor
Stares, as you watch me trip through wrong doors
Longing for answers to mistakes that were born
Sought through the battles, watching faults go to war
Casualties bore, buried without any mourn
Move forward, and see my flames grow warmer
And I step closer now, narrowing the border
Feel the fever, the fury, the scorching inferno
Harbor the horror, and realize, now your cornered
Left with the look in my eyes, as I combust the disorder.

Debbie Dickinson Poem
Alas, the mere depths of this flood have not out worn me
Neither gulped me, nor shattered me
Swallowed all hesitation and fret,
Delivering me to the sanctuary of the shore
Nevertheless, I look upon my antiquity with epiphany
Solitude, I breathe abandonment
Surrounded, Poseidon's dominion in its resilience
Still I persist with a purpose, carried in sapphire arms
Yet I rest weakly in them, so effortlessly
Will this clock not reap the hour?
Why, of course it cannot, for time is immortal and I feed on it ravenously
And risk is of multitude in this vast dungeon of aqua blue
But I will carry on, ignoring the factors which weigh my progress
Afloat, amongst these liquid dreams
Terrors of the darkness only exist in the lower abyss
Find me reaching for the heights,
The light is nearing, sparkles on the surface
Cracked grin, peering with perfection upon me
As I break through the boundaries of the marine
Paper wings unfolding, messages unwinding
Slithering secrets between these creases, unto you
Hope is in the distance, and distance is abundant.

Debbie Dickinson Poem
See, someone can just remove my heart…
Or take it
I’ll f-ckin donate it if that’s all it takes to escape it.
I’d rather live in this world with hatred
Than to live my life steady chasing.
You say were better off as friends
You say you don’t regret the things you said
But two weeks ago, we were layin in your bed
Reminiscing the days before our descent.
And all those nights we spent, are you saying you’d rather forget?
Well I guess… All my friends won their bets
And now I’m in debt.
Well indebted not to sweat it.
All those memories we’ve ever conceived have been deleted and released.
Lets not repeat what’s already been seen
If I can just forget about December 15th
And the day we convened..
I’ll only have to relive those days in my dreams.
See, someone can just remove my heart…
Or take it
I’ll f-ckin donate it if that’s all it takes to escape it.
Maybe it’s not fate but, either way
Being without you just ain’t the same
And I just can’t help but miss those days
When I’d wake up to a text saying “babe”
Right then and there, my day was made.
Why’d things have to change?
So strange how love can come and fade,
I thought I could change your mind
With a little time, everything would be fine
Bottom line is… I haven’t stopped crying.
I’m trying, and I’m vying for you
But I can barely look in your eyes
I hope you pay attention to my rhymes as I recite them…
And don’t fight the feelings if they ignite again.
Despite the fact that you just wanna be friends…
