Best Dimmest Poems

On the border of the obscure wastelands,
In the depths of shadows and torments,
Far beyond the land of Never Was, Never Will
Is a place where I hold you, strong and silent…
As the shards of your sensitive sadness prevail,
Sifting the awaiting coals below,
I shall reflect slivers of...

a tiny boat
an endless sea
deep as dark
infinity
the space I go 
it has no sound
it has no edge
it is unbound

lowest star 
light negate
I inhale my shadow 
to know its hate 
then wear its skin 
upon my crown
angels up
devils down

tangle spirit  
enemy fit
dimmest orb 
in schism...

There's a lady I know as pretty as primrose,

With innocence of soul,

   how I know ----

None whom has walked this wide world 'ere

   more lovely than her dimmest delicacy;

The sweet of lavender envious in her passing....

   the King-Rose longs...

After I write something, 
to the best of my ability,
not ever putting my name
on a work I am not proud
of – yet, I pause to say, 
Thank you...pleased to have
been blessed with a tiny role
in the production. Come
now! You don't actually think
that you stand apart,...

In their dark and sunless 

caverns,

in their rooms

so all alone,

Help them light

the dimmest lanterns

let them know

a friend is home.

You were young

and you remember

how it was 

when all was lost,

they don't know that

by December

many rivers

will be crossed

They don't have a map 

to guide them

there's no compass

for...

A long list of names with not a friend among them
Is it just of book of hidden faces
Forgotten faces?
Not a single word I've ever said was
written with truth
And here's the proof

When there's tears streaming down my face
Stuck in place
Is a smile that is a lie
When...

On fringes of shadow, charred black of burnt night, 
she limps through the dimmest and cruelest of streets.
Huddled with her loss, body bruised and beat, 
Mama’s caked makeup tries hiding her fright.

Little girl of twelve pretends to be grown;
with tomorrow gone, she paints on red...

While watching Bill Reid’s wooden sculpture 
“The Raven and the First Men”(1)

One day, 
after the long and countless searches of bottom of the abysmal waters
with cycles of formation and extinction of renewed waves and ripples,
a Raven with jet-black feathers that is darker than the darkest...

Inner Strength 

I gave up on me and never gave up on you. In the dimmest light, chance illuminates the real desire to fight. I could never feel justified or right, to take a stance for myself before the needs of others, downfalls are outlined...

We'll stay in sacred dreams our kiss unfolds
To love until death's night falls on our heart
And presses hard last breath our body holds
Only then will we ever be apart
To wrap love's arms tightly in tender dance
Allow wounds to vanish beyond our realm
Light and melt candles...

I woke under heavy grey skies of morning,
foreshadowing of a tropical storm warning
Gently, the rain was falling in a drizzling mist,
nurturing botannicals as though being kissed

Just a little wind but torrential rain I will get
It's hurricane season so everything gets wet
This one's not expected to...

I've seen smiles on faces,
in the dimmest of spaces,
where the bleakest of lights shine,
then in hope filled amazement, 
I get rejuvenated,
by an overwelming energy that only you((the audience)) can provide. 
As time ticks away,
The evening's host handidly displays,
raised arms,
asking for your applause, and praise,
after each...

If I must die, let it be before the break of dawn
When peace and stillness sway in people, homes, and places
When earsplitting music in alcohol selling places, cease
When even the foul and abusive drunks have returned home
And even the roughneck of husbands are all calm...

I was really down on my luck,
looked in the mirror - about to chuck,
things seemed at their dimmest,
good luck - at its slimmest...
Sometimes, just gotta say "What the _____!"...

Wake me up when it all ends
Please wake me up when my heart mends.
I don't want to see the dimmest light
I don't want up til it's alright.
Don't shake me up, or say my name
Please wait til things are back the same.
If not the same; atleast...
