Short Daunts Poems

The world is haunted
a virus daunts its victims
undoing voyage

racing minds fearful
afraid to let our soul breathe
challenge of ages...

Fate's hand write the play
Every soul ought to play by its way;
It taunts the strong till they battle and yield
and daunts the weak to beg and plead;...

if I could, I would but I can’t, so shan’t 
enslaved by ego, I have endless wants
     yet when the end draws nigh
     deep sigh is our goodbye
nothing more to flaunt, as death itself daunts

Darn 
Dentist 
Dreadful deed 
Damned if you do 
Dah! Damned if you don’t 
Disturbing drill din daunts 
Drat! Delectable doughnuts 
Digging deep childhood cavities 
Done! Drear disposition diminished 
Displaying the dazzling disarming smile...

"Twillight"*

A 'Swan' in town
can be found on
school ground --that's me

bored and off qi
rain daunts me --'till
I see him there...

can't help but stare
his eyes glare --so
aware...I thirst!

Arrival of dejection may be the acquirement of upcoming selection...
Applauses of today can be the daunts of tomorrow...
Weaknesses and flaws are all a part of perfect perfection...
If love is so selfless, then why required is the harness...
Tear the letters and burn away the petals...
For their selfish wordsmith have only engraved bitter pits ......

A sense of loss is a terrible feeling,
it leaves a hallow pit in one's stomache,
feelings of hoplessness daunts the spirit,
Loss, most people don't want to know it
and many run from it,
Loss means that there has to be a new beginning,
when the tables are turned around,
and the promise of winning becomes intoxicating,
Then loss would have been a passage paid for better things
to come..........

Society’s Eyes

Society sees me
As something I am not
As someone who is to be
In their society until they rot
But not everyone
Wants to be a part
Of what just anyone
Will be in, fast as a dart
Not everyone wants
To be represented by some
Who don’t know them, who daunts
In a way that is cumbersome
Because they don’t belong
In their perfect world, so so long

Passion consumes my every thought. 
Pounding rhythm thunders behind thoughtless actions. 
Tunneled vision surrounded in blackening redness. 
Seeing only her shadow in the blinding light. 
Shivers shudder my spine as nearness daunts me. 
What if? 
And if then what else? 
An unfinished sculpture crashes to the floor. 
A wet canvas bursts into flame. 
Does she even know my name? 
Storm ends in dripping sunlight 
Bent maples wave in slow relief 
As the street begins to steam....

I lay in bed and try to sleep, 
Pray the Lord my soul to keep.
But I fear
A past that haunts me
A future that daunts me 
And I wish you were here, 
To hold me and love me. 
My sorrow takes hold,
And I try to be bold
But 
Why didn’t you love me? 
Why won’t you love me? 
I’m Loveable 
I try so hard to be 
But Nomatter what I do 
Nothings enough for you 
So it’s not enough for me. 
Need you here, need you here so badly
Daddy I just want to go home 
I don’t belong here....
