To Unwrap Tomorrow

A festered quelling of song Tasting broths of ritualistic intent Evermore Nevermore Can epiphany’s silent facade Hold me down Ever Again A war of hellos Goodbyes I miss you “Please, come Home” The laughable oddity, I’ve always been here. They say home is where the heart is. Yet, it soars thru Heaven’s misunderstandings. With many peculiar eyes Tearing in humbled curiosities And placated heat strokes Unable to fathom my reach for tomorrow’s message Life lessons, tuition free, Unto serenity Unto serenity, I awaken into a catharsis for the colors of song Rather than the backhanded colors of skin Because our finite heartbeats consist of one rhythm, One skip One shade … Yet, the time has come, for this heart To muster up oxygenated infernos Before I pave incipient paths Less traveled Warning Warning … Warning ©Drake J. Eszes – 5/8/2014 (I of III) “Now something…has kept me here too long. But, they can’t leave me, if I’m already gone.” –R.A.

"I awaken into a catharsis for the colors of song Rather than the backhanded colors of skin" ... Ouch! This really hit hard with it's message. There's the whole universe on the inside, but people spend so much time examining the surface area. You sure leave me hanging with your last three words (have you considered becoming one of those authors that write mile long fantasy series? LOL) ... WARNING ... what's gonna happen?

Quite wonderful these days Drake! I finally met the man I will marry. I became engaged just recently. Am in the process of buying a small ranch so life has been a bit on the busy side. I'm hoping the heartaches are over, but still have plenty of inspiration from the journey left behind. Hugs to you dear one XOXOX

I anxiously await my friend. It was good to have a visit. By the way you wanted me to let you know when my book was available. It is now available as both an ebook and paperback. Let me know if you would like a copy.

Hello Drake; Just letting you know that you are not forgotten. This is a great poem. Life teaches us many lessons. My Dad always said - If you don't take our advice - Life will give you a lesson, you won't forget. I am still not well , but I'm breathing, with oxygen. Blessings... Lucilla

Hey Richard. It's been awhile, yeah. :( Sorry. Life has been eventful in a much more positive light, overall, than what how the Internet is. You're missed sir. I will have something posted soon enough.

Hello Drake...I'm late in finding your most recent poem...and after reading it more than once..., I seem to want to weave it into my own meaning..because, as you always do, you can make your words relatable..to those of us, who wage the war against ourselves, our own thoughts, mistakes,decisions, actions, or those of others.This is one of those poems, where your "war" of words, doesn't have to be ours to understand.That is a gift of poetry we often attempt to give others..which you succeed to do

Poet Tacito

That's all I can try to do here. You're so damn kind, Carrie. You capture the roots of my writing so well. Color me grateful!!!! HUGE HUG!!!!!!!!!

For me the "oxygenated infernos" resonated with me. Without oxygen a fire cannot burn, you have filled my lungs with air and I am now exhaling the fire of your brilliance.

Sorry on the delayed response. Life has been keeping me entertained. That said, you're quite right on this. Breathe deep, my good man, Richard. Thanks so much! :)

It's Friday night and I am so done with school!! -perfect time to sit and take my time reading some amazing poetry. These feelings are so colorfully expressed. There is a dark strength in these words.. and that ominous warning...about to enter the unknown- tomorrow! The weight of today's rituals should not hold you back from what tomorrow holds. Something new is coming, I feel. -

Those paths less travelled are those paths I love to travel to Drake..'Because our infinite heartbeats consist of one rhytm,one skip,one shade'..Isnt that deep?So much to ponder about in each verse...An amazing post Drake.It feels so great to read 'you` again.

Poet Tacito
Date: 5/9/2014 3:52:00 PM

Awesome.. I love the line "Yet it soars through Heavens misunderstanding"- did you mean to write this as a deeply introspective poem? It definitely comes across that way .Xx~Xx

Poet Tacito

Holy crap, hey Sarai! :) It's been awhile! They are, but other things can bare the price. Depends on what we take from it. Thank you so much!
