Time will Tell

Confab With Me

Shattered dreams
a restless soul
once a man of dreams
now void of hope
will he survive the tremulous time?
disentangled from the serpentine paths?
only time will tell

HOPE LIVED

Winter
Was harsh that year,
Ice covered all the ponds,
No birds could feed beneath the ice,
Hungry,
They died.
We thought that all was lost that year,
There wasn’t any hope………
A kingfisher
Appeared.

This bird
Survived despite
There being no fish to eat,
We wondered how it clung to life,
And sang.
And then
We saw it eating bread, it learnt
A new way of eating,
Hope lived again
That day

Where Broken Hearts Go

Recovering My Mind: Poetry and Rock Music

I’ve had a broken foot

and a hernia that lasted untreated

I’ve fallen so hard I broke my glasses

Watched my mouth bleed

I’ve had headaches for weeks

Sleepless nights for months

And somehow they all fail to impact

The way a broken heart does

Maybe I was wrong for trying to love you

In the first place

And maybe I fell too soon for someone

Who was too quick to stand up

Maybe close friends is all we’ll ever be

But I wanted more

Maybe wrongly

That doesn’t discredit the pain

It can’t remove the doubt

And it won’t ever leave me

The hope of you wanting me

The way I want you

Echoes In The Rain – A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

Walt's Writings

If you listen closely
You can hear them
Whispering softly
The memories of days gone by
Rainy days and Mondays
While you listen to the rhythm
Of the falling rain
Echoes of songs you love
Raindrops falling like tears
Voices from the past
Speaking to you
Reminding you
That the sun will shine
After the rain
And rainbows
Will light your way

~The Tennessee Poet~

Siren Song – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

Siren Song

I thought I heard an orchestra
playing sonatas in the wood
on the most perfect of days,
when the sun was still high,
and the rich smell of honey in the air.
Such a fecund aria followed
and mellowed through the trees,
a gentle siren song
drawing me onwards,
till I chanced on a clearing,
and there you were,
radiant, wistful,
music to my eyes,
waiting.

When love comes calling

paeansunpluggedblog

Whether it tiptoes quietly to make room in my heart

Or comes knocking, banging loud and clear

When love comes a calling

I know it in my bones!

The dichotomous feelings that flood my bursting with love heart

Have me smiling through tears

And tear up as I laugh

My sane, sensible self is served severance slip

Sent sulkingly to sit out silently

While the much in love diva takes centrestage

Pirouetting gracefully to unsung melodies

It is an exhilarating, exuberant and euphoric time

A time to daydream, a time to float on the clouds

Had I paid attention in school

I would have written paeans

about the chemistry we share

The hormones in flux

But I know it within the gap

between each of my heartbeat

It is much, much more than that

For our souls are truly connected

And that is how I know

When love it is!
