dreams lie, we listen. 
meant for bolder colors, we 
stave off doom in sleep, 
crafting stories of famous 
victories we'll never fight

colors dripping down…

colors dripping down
waterways of pure passion
flowing into hopes
we thought that we had given
up to prove ourselves mature

New Intention

Habitual roles, challenged,
Everyday customs
Of centuries transformed by
New intention and old dreams

The Shadows Beckon

On 2022090520220905 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original Poems1 Comment

The shadows beckon,
Welcoming me to morning;
Where, I am guessing,
Sense will be made of nonsense,
As dreams make sense of waking

The Beautiful Reach

The beautiful reach
Of all those who know the sun

Tourist talismans,
Fair children of the light,
And most guileless company

The Him That She Married

There were those moments
When he really loved her, but
She never felt it

The him that she married was
An imaginary thing

The Lighthouse

On 2022090520220905 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original Poems3 Comments

“It’s gotten too old” –
“It’s outlived its usefulness” –
“What good is that light?”

The lighthouse didn’t fail us;
We stopped paying attention

the question

On 2022090520220905 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original Poems1 Comment

she asked the question
tentatively, wondering
if he even knew
she had ever considered
a life away from all this
