The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-

Discerned by prompts within....

moment to moment discerned

I erased my grief 

with the sweetest of smiles 

It was only then I discerned 

hope shining bright!

if she understood his full evilness
in his utter selfishness
would her love for him wane

if she discerned his mysterious self
hidden away quite nicely
would she take love and run?...

How does one reason with something dead, and or dying ?
The moon is full tonight, dangling in the sky this ancient light..
As poison, 'seeping into my flesh; discerned, her masque of red....

Must it be spelled out?
Everything in black and white
Where is mystery?

“Spiritual things
Are spiritually discerned”
Carnal? Enigmas….

If you then misjudge
Place the blame without a clue
Golden Rule applies

little I discerned of pious words-
and idle twitter
scarcely had I known what I would find
among the dregs
it's a bitter pill to swallow
when a victory is hollow...
it's all downhill from here me thought
as I touched upon the egg!...

my hazel orbs are silent
he barely glances my way
but I catch his meaning
communication is swift

others continue their banter
not seeing or feeling 
what we feel and know
husband wife communication
unfelt or discerned by others...

As evening fell,
Air gray and still,
My ears discerned
A cardinal’s shrill—

High in an oak,
He fussed, aglow,
While crouched a cat
With stealth below;

From bough to branch,
That bird flashed bright
Until his foe
Slunk into night....

As the crows fly
They come to pick out my eyes
Discerned is thy nebulous sight

I must clash with night

The wounded warrior's cry
Essence made to rally this fight
Strengthened is my revived might

The elegy of white,
Outcasts the night...

Originality enshrined
      .... shifting truths 
of nature
        a fresh sparkle 

timeless 
     perfection 
      in shadowed light 
uncompromising 
   love in mezzotinct
 surrounded 
& discerned
     in the particular 
    en plein air...

Incessant noise fills up the void
In darkness with no direction
No words discerned
With few concerns
To he who is still waiting
Ingesting all that drips and falls
For the void is unforgiving
Kindness withdrawals
Replaced with gall
And so remains unending...

Listen to poem:

Before I Say Goodnight
David J Walker

One last dream to dream 
Of all things dark and light
To weigh the days in
Reckoned phase
Before I say goodnight

One more gathering 
Discerned in second sight
Commend my soul  as I
Pay the toll
Before I say goodnight...

The flutter of an eyelid
The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-
Knowing words of wisdom
Discerned by prompts within.

lessons in circadian rhythms of life…


here 
all
alone
in the crowd
of my thoughts

my mind 
weaves through
the present wave of time

shaping fragile realities
from the bitter sweep cup
of life’s circadian experiences

all of which
whose lessons
are yet to be discerned....

This fact discerned
is wisdom hard-earned: 
Behind a quick, smarmy smile
may lurk artful guile.
