Last Night I Shed a Tear

Last night I shed a tear
For the one I love ‘twas you my dear
I woke startled in the dead of night
Why did I disrupt the fantasy my one delight
Perhaps was the naked realization
That the love I dreamt was of my own creation
So I send this rose
For I tried in the night so in the light who knows




Pawns
As the pawn wandered in the serpentine follicle
The change that’s been so long anticipated came about
This sudden rupture within the brain of a man so simple
Figurine frustrated how loud he does shout
All the cursed phrases he does know
The exit of the place is not there
The frowns exist and begin to show
In the follicles of our minds trapped figures stand and stare
Into the blindness of thoughtless reminiscence


A Common Call to Rebellion

Where the others are placed precisely
To fit the form of fundamentality
We stand atop that firm foundation
Strutting upwards toward the bleak white sky
Never wanting to deteriorate
Or sink in certain spaces forgetting what we came here for

C.S. I did not understand your poem.I found the poem deep, meaning I could not figure what was said.
