Remembering Dreams
David J Walker

Here the breathings
	In deep wood
Here the hearings 
	If I could
Remember meanings 
	Bad or good
Visions often
	Misunderstood 

I dream of you 
	My dear
I dream I feel
	You near
I dream I hear
	Your breathings
I dream I know 
	The pleadings
 
Of your heart

Premium Member Ending A Perfect Night

A perfect night ending.
After passion peaks,  
our quivering bodies,
dissolved in fiery heat. 
Wrapped in a nightly cocoon to sleep.
Fragrance dew lingers, 
entwined in dampened sheets,
as two hearts synchronize
in harmonic rhythms.
Breathings calm to steady flight,  
as sleep creeps, 
ending a perfect night.

While Writing Up a Poem

When a poet is going to write up a  poem
Somehow alike a fish is going to take a breath
Breathings took with strength generate ripples
While  slight breathings would only whisp gas

Someone might think they are different entirely
How can you compare a poet to a fish
The fish makes  a piece only in shallow water
While a poet can do so even  in  strange trees

Premium Member ANCESTRAL BREATHINGS

in the quiet seams of morning, 
ancestral breathings rise~
faint stirrings threaded  
through the rooms we enter~  
soft remnants of voices  
that once shaped our name;  

they move like light  
slipping across old photographs,  
a gentle continuity  
we never fully see  
yet always carry,  
as if the past exhales  
each time we open the door  
to ourselves.

Vagabond Hearts

In the heat of the moment, 
You tossed and turned in my bed
Your insecurities as we speak, 
The certainty of your emotions as our lips meet.
Shallow breathings in the darkness, 
Vagabond hearts are in a deep conquest 
If both are being honest, 
Between our mind and body there's a protest. 
Your head in the crook of my neck,
Made my guard shattered
In the euphoric heat of the moment, 
My entirety was of no regret...

The Hypocondriac

i dont feel well at all today
i think ive got the flu
the sweat is pouring out of me
like ive had a vindaloo
its minus three degrees outside
the frost is on the ground
but i am burning up and now
my head is spinning round
the pins and needles in my arm
are shooting down my side
and now im going dizzy
like im on a fairground ride
a crushing pain is in my chest
my breathings getting slack
i cant beleive i chose today
to have a heart attack

Book of Breathings
David J Walker

Cruel clock
Supernatural sail
      A false friend 
      in the wind
      blending in 
To a breeze 
at the speed  
Of a whirlwind 

Tell me again 
about your tomorrow
the sorrow comes with the dawn
      in time to
      Borrow phrases  
from the model 
of an avant-garde lexicon 

Carved by men in caves
Painted in pen 
      In the  
Book of Breathings

before we are gone
and gravity claims us all

Jogging

I jogged, one foot after the other,
Lungs wide open to welcome,
Breathings of the warm evening air,
Eyes stung at the touch of
Cruel sweat, saturated and salty.

I jogged, a flat branch overhead,
My left arm reached out to touch
The tree and its clippings,
Dwindling down the serpent's throat,
Though my fingers were amiss.

I jogged, against the moving air,
Soles hitting the ground aloud,
Bullets firing as if the sound,
Outpacing the farthest person,
All was fair and square.

Stop the Violence

Stop the Violence
not in silence
Lot the wild is
on the street crying
trying to grab a grip
something to eat
Flying back at tip
of the wing the system
blinding the kids with a backwards
education defining deprivation
of a freedom promise to all
who live on the land as equal
yet currency confuses the category
Manners Glory Honor one another
as Kings and Queens should
Acknowledge the blessings
breathings
Forgiveness is hard yet
satisfying
as the humble make it out the jungle
