Christopher Delegans Poem
We see ourselves unimpeded initially
Some are stricken with a view artificially
We are told by others very specifically
There is a ceiling so proceed timidly
We try in vain with no support futilely
As we age blazing the path dizzily
Sometimes we see the results dismally
Eventually we learn to climb skillfully
We began to achieve sufficiently
Eventually finding success brilliantly
Living life with dreams so vividly
Sadly, a haunting voice still speaks flippantly
Reminding us of the ceiling frigidly
We remain in the arena mistily
Each overcautious step taken judicially
We endure the voice shouting viciously
The battle to continue is done willfully

Christopher Delegans Poem
A gaze guided by the tender currents of your heart
You have always seen the world as complex folk art
Rose-colored glasses are not necessarily a bad thing
Tinges of amber hues reveal what your future will bring
Eyes incredibly deep warm pools of sugary brown
Incandescent reflections below a mesmerizing crown
Sweet secrets softly whispered into the gentle breeze
Welcomed exploration for a soul to zealously appease
Symphonies of serenity where sighs find tranquil release
Your gracious existence majestically compels inner peace

Christopher Delegans Poem
Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose it runs your life
Born with a cry blink then you're grown
Chasing years you’ll never own
Gold turns gray fast and sly
Can’t outpace it don’t even try
Heroes fall and empires bend
Every story meets its end
Watches shine but they betray
Marking life that slips away
No bribes deals or cheat codes work
Time doesn’t flinch and it won’t shirk
Kings and beggars rich or broke
We all breathe time like secondhand smoke
Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose don’t let it steal your life

Christopher Delegans Poem
6am, I'm still not sleeping
Trippin in my mind
Can hear my thoughts grind
Wondering how high the problems will mount
Time keeps goin by, it's the hours I count
10am, still awake
my mind I can't make
these thoughts I can't shake
Till I make a decision
On what to do,
If u only knew
Goin into the night again and I'm still not sleeping
Yall don't know the real meaning of am/pm

Christopher Delegans Poem
Stroll along a sandy beach under pale moon light
Reflection’s complexities washing over the shore
These rare moments should be cherished and adored
Foot prints constantly erased and rewritten in the sand
Only passing through and temporarily etched in the land
Before the next wonderful series of events takes place
Sun on the horizon begins to dance off the mountain's base
Forgotten is the night, but never lost is the beautiful flight
Anxiously journey into the decadency of imagination’s light
Closed eyes with a smile while warmly embracing the vision
The moment forever belongs to you to take in and envision

Christopher Delegans Poem
I have no regrets, not a mistake made
Beautiful sands just slipped too fast
Through our hourglass smoothly
Time was not bestowed upon us
Not at this junction of our lives
Waves shall erase the footprints
The memories will remain etched
Hope intact that our paths will cross
Towards, through and beyond destiny
Eternal love for the one who bettered my life

Christopher Delegans Poem
The truth spoken but not adhered to
Ignored to pursue things just for you
Importance left behind in the dust
Seed left to raise due to lust
Nothing learned from a repeated sequel
Love from your kids, there’s nothing equal
Love is tricky but can be viewed like this
Impossible without liking or interest

Christopher Delegans Poem
Fold and make origami
Pieces lost in the folds of time
Ripples in crystal waters of stillness
A riddle searching for responsiveness
Zipline through the playgrounds of my mind
Inverted skies stretch beyond grey
Clinging to air thick with silence
Shaped by a hope refusing to conform
Sleepily sauntering down an alley
Directionless shadows endless in their growth
Opaque walls murmuring their speechless weight
Flickering with thoughts not comprehended
Unraveling the knots of oblivion
Words hang precariously in suspense
A burst of color breaks through the frame
Slowly fading to the edge of a forgotten dream

Christopher Delegans Poem
I shed tears today for a lady I never knew
For so long my emotions faced exemption
My life, created in lieu of a tragic encounter, grew
At last my understanding salvaged some redemption
Perceptions and thoughts of the unknown accumulated
Visions of youth, sorrow, love, loyalty, and despair
Through the eyes of destiny we communicated
Briefly revealing how much you loved and deeply cared
Your concern for other’s lives gave way to mine
For a moment I felt your warmth and saw your light shine
A unique memory of you shall forever be kept
Of the day, upon your resting place, in silence, I wept

Christopher Delegans Poem
The time is here and now
To right the wrongs
Show them how
They are here to stay
Embrace your life
Make decisions today
Tomorrow comes fast
Regret is an ugly thing
You had control of past
The time is here and now
With your inconsistencies
Family life takes the bow
