Best Depth Poems

I woke trembling on the threshold of dawn 
as dappled sunlight through my window shone 
Upon my primed canvas there had been drawn 
a masculine image with finely chiseled cheekbones

What virile fantasy had I born while in flight 
for my hand to have created such...

From corners of silver lakes, you shimmer
In glancing ripples, fluid treasure awaits
And I, diving for pearls, a swimmer
Tangled within your illusion of depth
Until the fragile surface separates
Ghosts of tarnished gold grows dimmer
As mirages of you fall to shallow fates.

(During contemplation)
What are we? Thought the flea,
there must be more than what we see.

(With careful consideration)
Am I free? Thought the bee,
and is there much aside from thee.

(Before deep meditation)
Who holds the key? Thought the manatee,
pondering while in the sea.

(With loving admiration)
How can this be? Thought...

I have always had a vivid imagination,
as a child, I could make up stories in my head;
then, I began to write them down on paper,
but a story was too long, so poetry was the answer.

Now, even at night watching the moon,
I am taken away on...

In the depths of existence, where truths reside,

I seek the meaning that life cannot hide.

Through whispered echoes and moments sublime,

I unravel the secret, the essence of time.

It's not in the grandeur, the fortunes amassed,

Nor fleeting pleasures, they fade away fast.

The truest meaning lies in connections...

Swaddled in frozen silence
In a weather so dolorous and damp
The pores of her mind sweat painful memories
Which take a headlong flight
Faster than the beams of light

At times shaking their fearful manes
As unbridled steeds, they come
Raising dust behind
Making all sanity blurred.
Often, they rise from their indulgent...

Through the depth of your despair, let me be the one who heals your wounded heart.
To prove that I mean you no harm, I place my heart beneath your feet but tread softly, 
for mine is just as fragile....

Be especially careful, you who would teach
  Observe well the depth of your reach

A moment's slip, imperceptible, on your part
  Rends the fabric of a pupil's heart...

In depth of circumstance, the heart shall write,
For senses, save one, deceive me tonight-
Pensive contemplation gives in to you,
While words, as they always are yours, flow through-
What she cannot fathom the heart consumes,
Tracing line after line, the passion blooms-
Oh, has this dream come to open...

Bottomless ocean speak your rhythmical path.
Beautiful world if only a glimpse embedded in my mind.
I shall capture the essence of unknown in detail.
I sigh a slow breath.
Yet danger may soon approach.
For I will not stay but in this moment short lived.
In the depths free from...

As a soul free falls into the celestial mist
 A distant star will dim its light
 Its luster vanishing into a black hole's grist,
 Yet dawn will inhale a cosmic breath
 To ease the darkness of the depth of death
 As the soul takes perpetual...

For Timothy Lee


My fried anxieties and crisped lonely would unite in my sleep's 
repeat nightmares where a roster of random monsters pursued 
their viewed, vile end of me.  My pulsing terrors urged I run fast
but my feet always turned to absurd concrete, freezing me...
