Dear Death for dVerse

Dear Death,

Do you hear the painful cries

     of a world in crisis

people lost looking for signs

    to ease their grief

what choice remains

     when souls are lost

brushes with  near death

     happening each day..

broken hearts... pauses

    vital rhythm of life

how does one fight the battle

    the panoply of power

flatland in the journey 

  let us take a leap of faith...

Conquer death with life...

Author's note: The challenge was to create a Dada Poem..how this works is you take  some text  cut it up into pieces and pick words to create a poem.  For this exercise I made a copy of a page from a book I am reading..cut into pieces and selected words randomly to construct this poem. This was an interesting prompt..thank you Charles...

Love Letters for dVerse June 4, 2013

Awake in crumpled sheets

wafer thin, fragile cry

writing love letters from my heart

where to start, where to end

black ink drips from  a leaky  pen

how do I express all that's within

teary eyes, I slip into a dream
you are hovering in the wings

to ease my tormented soul

gently plucking my heartstrings

warm kisses , our tongues ignite
increasing the tempo of desire

dark hours, ours bodies entwined

quivering to the rhythm of the night

even if it is just a figment of my mind

waltzing on the edge of insanity

you take my hand,  humming in my ear

an enchanted melody...

passions mounting, a fountain of love
overflowing basin from deep within

intoxicating drink makes my head spin

shameless , my soul in nakedness sings

a rush of pleasure, surely this cannot be a sin

falling

       falling

            falling

into a magical dream-scape

tranquility embraced in your arms
whispering your name in the misty air

luminous eyes, I behold a new horizon
if this is a dream please wake me not

drifting  back into a lucid state

walking

heavenly sphere

harmonious music

transformation pink dusted sky

dVerse June 1, 2013 Cleansing - Bathroom prompt hosted by Claudia

Cleansing

The day is rough like an angry sea

I seek soothing  relief,  to dream

to feel the lulls of yesterday

filling the tub, warm water

lavender  bubbles layers of foam

fragrant candles, turn off the lights

soft music playing beyond the curtain

slowly I  slip naked into the warmth

relaxing sensations take over my senses

closing my eyes,  sinking...sinking

into a distant land where this poet can dream

where my thoughts take formation

deep cleansing of my soul

soaking in a luxurious scent

I feel refreshed and pleasantly clean

sip some wine, forget about time

  write down a few lines

discovering the waterfall of my mind

dare not disturb the silence

nor pull the plug, fearing

my dreams will swirl away

into the vortex of the drain

forever gone

so, here I remain

until the last bubble dissolves

author's note: Claudia thank you for a fun prompt..
