Short Second Sight Poems

I can see myself ...


          There, in the draft of your eyes,


                    Not ... the reflection....

Say it soft
Say it to the night
Quiet now
In a second sight
Of you so near
Never felt so right
Without booze
To make us fight...

Trump disparages Dr. Ford
Claiming "Second Sight" like the Lord
In quite lurid detail
Trump describes a female
His mother was one we're assured....

She was pretty. Her long hair was yeller.
He was ugly… a balding old feller
He slurred, "ma handle be Luke,"
She gagged and started to puke,
‘till she saw the gold stashed in his cellar!...

She had a gift
Of seeing life
From both sides

When she looked 
At life 
From her point of view
Everything was
Understandable 

And when she looked
At life
From my point of view
She could also understand
Why everything I saw
Was wrong...

No pearls of wisdom awaits

No greetings at pearly gates

No angel's wings or golden things

Nor judgement that seals our fates

No eulogies will be read

No memories of the dead

No blinding light or second sight

Only darkness lies ahead...

Silver white,
Silver white,
Not chill, not distant
No second sight.
Ancient steel, platinum band,
Flickering pin pricks,
Long blue hand.
Call the living, sing the night,
Come one, come all.
Silver white
Silver white
Shadow, filigree and light....

Sight seen
the second sight sees 
the strange sight saw
the sadden sight sees seriously
the sorry sight slays suddenly
the splendid sight the spiritual sight 
seems silently
smartly

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...

Second sight


When you are young, you can only see the future. 
When you are old, you can only see the past.  
When you find yourself at the right moment in life, 
You can look forward gladly, as well as being happy to look back.

Second Sight
by Michael R. Burch 

I never touched you—
that was my mistake.
 
Deep within,
I still feel the ache.
 
Can an unformed thing
eternally break?

***
 
Now, from a great distance,
I see you again
 
not as you are now,
but as you were then—
 
eternally present
and Sovereign....

Fighting and kicking into the final goodnight.
And of my soul,
preacher man along the way has died and set
me free.

Will I be measured in that second sight, few had
and never knew.
Can I go home to rest upon the surface of the sun,
and never burn.

Stay with me as I grow week and stay and hold
my hand....

Lizzy dear I wish you could hear.. 
Your sky is young and bright and oh so clear..
A vision before her time that writes of days..
Some sad some happy but always in her way.. 
A dreamer and a Poet with second sight..
A pure pleasure to be anywhere near her light..

Dedicaton to Lizzy Bark

Nyx, the personification the night was feared and revered
Even Zeus, the god of the gods was terrified of her power.
She brought out the bats, the raccoons and hoot owls
Her worshippers including the wolves with the howls
Nyx loved the way the forest hid from her second sight
She marched through the atmosphere, as was her right....

Predicting tall dark strangers,
Houses near water or trees,
And all the usual stuff,
He makes a killing.

He claims to have second sight,
Is clairvoyant to the stars,
A local celebrity:
He has believers.

It caused much embarrassment,
When his caravan burnt down;
And he was caught in a loo
With another man!

(A true story ).

Where once I dreamed in black and white...
Now feelings scribed in colors changed my sight…
The overflow of ideas poured and spilled…
Drained pens scribbling everything instilled…
The depth of a sky to the contour of a flower…
The sunsets shadow that creeps through an hour…
Inside framed silence a world outside my window…
A brushed canvas of dreams with a constant flow…...

The Clock Strikes Dawn 
David J Walker 

Again, please
I repeated asking the voice 
To clarify its point concerning time

The visions escape 
In the awakened light 
From those whose traveling companion 
visits only in a clarion 
Instance of second sight

No wonder 
            there was no answer
The moment was gone 
As I waited  
           for the clock to strike dawn...

day cast your light and
help me to fight with second sight.
to see the other way where 
shadows cast not their play.

the tune of an old song,
is mellow to my ears.
I hear the train sound fading to
the  past,  old iron horse on way.

when days begun and cowboys did have fun.
arrows pierced the sky and tomahawks did fly.
the west was won , a new century had begun.

old iron horse led the way....

If only I could see the light

If only I had second sight

My future ever bright would be

The night would never frighten me

And as the hour's growing late

And as the master of my fate

No more self-pity will I wallow

Upon this shining path I'll follow

Until I taste the kiss of death 

Until I taste my last sweet breath

Each moment ever bright will be

The light will ever set me free...

SHARED SECRETS

The mist embraces me tonight
I feel as one with this gentle grey
Wandering almost lost, all day
I’ve always sought this dim half-light
As it affords me second sight
Although blind it shows me the way
The mist has secrets it will share

Explanations will all sound trite
A mystery as one might say
But its calling I will obey
And knowing that the mist is right
The mist has secrets it will share...

Stone cold sober
I was one day
When a lady
Stood in my way

She smiled at me
Like something weird
Then just like that
She disappeared!

Was she a ghost
Or a lost soul?
Or some actress
Playing a role?

Like an omen
Of things to come
She blocked my way
But left me dumb

Those who vanish
By day or night
Cause confusion
What's wrong or right?

Lord have mercy
On "Second-sight"
Pop-up spirits
Cause quite a fright!...

This journey I call on my spirit guide
As we journey through the night
Leaving my earthly feelings aside
Give me use of gift of second sight
Let me seek that which has now gone
Also let me see that what is beyond

On this journey protect me my angel
From the night demons be my shield  
For this journey be near me my angel
Take me to that sacred mystic field
Let me use the minds forgotten eye
As I travel through a cloudless sky...

Like small waves in the ocean, the
curtains blow back from a breeze so tender...
Through my soul silent whispers travel 
and are placed where they slowly surrender...
Behind my eyes the small echo of chimes
dance to a moving sound...
And my hand starts to glide across a slippery
page that bleeds so proud...
And now I'm left with scrolls of dreams that 
never made it to the night...
Just a poet who walks and breaths through a
window of second sight......
