Denouement Poems

Denouement

but is a Shrike not 
stuck to its thorns 
just like everything else?

when I turn my
hands back into stones,

           when I bare my teeth,

The Denouement

God, I've known you
Since I was a little girl.
You've always been apart of me
but never my whole world.

You've always been a character
in the plays I've produced
but instead of being the protagonist
you've been a character I could lose.

I'm tired of being the playwright
and having empty theater chairs.
Lord take over the directing
Lord hear my broken prayers.

I'm tired

The sun awakes each early morn
Bright sky glows its colors adorn

Nothing but jeans tattered and torn
Wit unraveling and voilà... a poem born

Denouement Boulevard

Like a damaged rose, make the pain beautiful.

I see the streetlights and the signs.

We're getting close.

I see the roads go from platinum concrete to rubble.

look at the trash bags skipping across the street like tumble weeds.

In the rear view I see the “bridge of sighs” we crossed to get here burning down.

I lost you some

The Denouement

My heart weakened by its innumerable years 
continues to flutter its plangent beats. An 
ancient maple tree, its leafless naked branches calls 
for me to rest beside its protective scaly bosom, 
for it sees a messenger perched upon my shoulder.

I feel its pulsing inner core gently whispering of things forgotten. My tortured troubled intellect fails

denouement

warm honey flows
through beeswax veins
and pools upon cloth
of azure blue

glow of sun filtered
filigree through leaves
an open window invitation
to Sunday just across the sill

a hawkers sing song cry
from the cobbles below
berries, sweeet strawberries
come   buy my lovely berries

sudden feather gusts of morning breeze 
bring scents of fruit and jasmine
to my bed

but I am too lazy

Denouement

At night I sleep
Its start, I know not
But, will I ever know?

Now so long, still,
eyes close and open
Can I control, ever?

Someday these eyes,
finally, will close
How and when, can I know?

Someday like sleep,
they will so open
Where will they open?

The Denouement

I sensed myself sinking down
Culminating the stuccoes of existence
Crossing denouements of mortality
Obeying the laws of life's caducity
And defying the clusters of earthly brevity.
My nostrils perceived the essence
Beyond the sod
My ears apprehended the sounds
Of heavy metal spades
And my eyes saw the quietus
When the granules of clods broke
And made space for me
To lie amongst them
While my body

And Then Came the Denouement

Not how his poem was rated,
But the fact, it was recorded,
If by machine was being read—
Like a car having just one gear!
Yet, happy was he still to hear,
If not readers, by machine read.
And listened in spell, not a let,
Till the poem ending couplet,
And what was just an underscore,
He wished it were encore, encore!

Free Will - Denouement Contest

Is free will a variable?
Or rather something which you should always come above, 
When you just accept circumstances, 
If you can’t determine your outcome. 

The denouement of a play reveals all sometimes, 
When you don’t know which way it will go, 
Explains that less significant acquaintances, 
Can shape your shopping trip.

While midnight wears the longest hours
An ashen star peers to act as my keeper;
Circling around like a threadbare of a glow
When the bulb in the room snuffs, fades,
Leaving me alone without any reflection.

In a world drained by pain, somehow void
Of clarity and  filled with unbearable angst,
Its pale twinkle seems to listen as I uncover
Reminisces

Denouement, I beseech you, take your time.
I see you lurking closely by my gate.
I want to live and love and write my rhyme.
Go finish someone else’s tale. I’ll wait!
I need no resolutions in my life.
One moment to the next I’m glad to live.
I’ll take - along with good times- all the strife
along my path. Denouement,

Her  m a d n e s s  was the result of an unfortunate series of events. The epilogue came to a halt as she was  b r o k e n  from her articulate ailment.

Feared he was…scared was she…. so she thought.
