Contemplations From A Black Star Citizen.
Love related.
Forgive her,
For realizing only too late
That when you wrote her something
You didn’t see lines
Stanzas and the occasional rhymes;
Rather, you only saw yourself
Giving her a piece,
Of your soul.

This happens to be the only series I have that shows how my writing has evolved over the years. Dating back to my pre-poetry era, I loved prose then, but yeah, things change; for the better in this instance.
(With the first part having been written in 2013)
I’ve made it a rule to post one part every year till I find what i’m looking for; Its been quite the journey so far 🙂 .
Lying idly
On the prickly green
Above me
Lies clouds in motion
An exodus drifting to
Who knows where.
For a second;
Just but a second,
My selective consciousness
Allowed me to imagined
That it was me
Leaving them
For somewhere better.

A sense of longing
Contact took an eternity,
The virtual equivalent
Of  locking lips
With the sky.

The writing leads me
Wherever I want to be,
Relative realities
Constantly constructed
Uglier to others,
But prettier to me.

Literally abusing
His literary talent,
Evoking and expressing,
Feelings and deeper meanings
Leaving her
Used-to-be shields.
Peeled.
– Original-Dante
Highly irresistible,
Permeating your visuals,
An unfailing presence
The very essence
Of her ultra-magnetic aesthetic.
– Original-Dante
She is forever
What they will never,
Ever,
Dream of having.
– Original-Dante
Two pairs of eyes
Starry-eyed
A case of deep stares
Into each other’s souls
The quickest access
Rather, a stair-case
To Cloud 9.
– Original-Dante
Never thought
I would fall in love
With slumber,
With dreams,
Until I realized
That its the closest
I ever get
To seeing you.
– Original-Dante
Saying she lacks
In the confidence
Department
Is an injustice
That cannot be passed,
From what I’ve noticed
It is always
Fully staffed.
