Author and artist, I'm finding my spirit again late in life. Old passions for poetry borne of love, loss, hope and pain, things with which everyone is familiar.

The Mariner
Moored to crumbling dock, besieged isle ablaze A backdrop dim of ember and ash on thoroughly ransacked village Knuckles cracked to bone, fingers wrapped like cord
By Daniel Cole7 years ago in Poets
The Cut
Something caught my eye A subtle glint in passing Or wishful thinking ... Stretching out the days Lengthening long, lonely nights
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
Thus Trudge the Berwac
The Berwac slumps, its breath heaves the dawn A bellowed call wobe through bone and sinew Outstretched, its maw agape to silent scream
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
Cry of the Abyss
Heard a cry from the abyss Down, down I sought to save Farther on than rising mist Heard a wail that came in waves I carry on to that descent
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
Lost Time
The minutes stole away from me, I pressed to slow it down I wanna thank my lucky stars but don't recognize this town I tore away at the midnight sky just to see a new sunrise
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
Facets
Make me over a stone on the roll, trample and shake off old moss The waste and detritus, it flies away, a most agreeable loss
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
River Man

By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
The Pauper's Pride
What bittersweet escapade is this? Raucous laughter buried in tears For days and weeks and months and years Seeking solace in morning's kiss
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
We Blameless Fools
Damn them that curse love Was it love that turned infatuation to flattery? That blinded sight to perfection beyond the surface of all
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
The Serenade
My darling, may I amaze you My darling, may I astonish you With sights you've never seen Or could have seen Or would have seen
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
Preeminent Dream
She moves through sunrise and starlight Binding the air like fire Her every footstep a new morning A distant choir sung higher
By Daniel Cole8 years ago in Poets
A Touch of Passion
When morning comes, rising on the sun You appear to me as a Solstice breeze The very first flush a sensational rush Of you to me and me in you
