Best Cleave Poems
This
Is
My
Shadow
Poetry is my escape - and my cure
I float - in word
like free bird soaring - swiftly
into the blue sky; freedom is not - found
in what you can offer - me
but in what I can do - for my self, without you
vacuuming - my whole
Oh, my shadow - can only be
seen by those who are willing to see - me

Once upon My fairytale There began
a time when my heart and his nightmare, dreadful and horrid,
was carefree and gay sailing together a journey, sailing
sweet and innocent on different ships through a crystal mist
Life was good and for a while two souls drifted on
lifting in song a story spun full of promise
a fantasy that fell sugary ripe and whole and
was dripping from my lips succulent
like honey. When stormy days In torrential rains
Then he sailed in on broken sails clinging to life
and stole my heart, our two ships weathering the storm
our destinies did collide with solid resolve
Now linked together His nightmare blind with fear
as his wild rages ripped my fantasy plunging into darkness
shattered and broke apart, before gasping and smashing
the glass bubble my very eyes stinging with rage
But through it all Love saved us both as the clouds parted
Our love rang true and on that magic day the seas calmed on
the dawning day when sun shone down again
we made it through the gale beaten but not broken
safe and sound, together on a dingy with faith renewed
Two as one, together now hand in hand I stand with you
into our sunset. we sail reborn
On the other side
of reality
from our fears
we're both set free
For Michael Jordons poetry contest, The other side of reality
On the page - of this lore
painted verdant by - the rod of God
a word traveler - unveils
A song, - its charm
perhaps, sounding - on the mystic
blue - sea
Amidst the echoes - of peripheral visions
his thoughts are - dancing wildly with the
orphic - wind
Like - the twists
of leaves - in early Autumn
that innocently - falling in passion,
seeking a home, - to entertain the souls
He sighs through… - the remnants-of dreams
and finds himself - a proverbial comfort
In the breath of - this blossoming page is
a verdant lore, - the scents of my life

to cleave
come to me
in the flowing streams
of my clearest dreams
whisper to me colorful themes
the sweet themes of your dreams
show me what they mean
tell me how we'll make it in the times that are lean
when our air is stale, show me how to clean
how will you always to me, cleave
what will keep you and cause you not to leave
I always grieve the ones I leave,
To help relieve my heart of each cleave.
