Dreams Lost In Dawn

D. D. Wolf — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:24:56 +0000

Desire drifts delicately o’er my cheek
Your breath like the rarest of wines
Night winds whisper across my eyes
The petals of your lips o’er mine
The stars reflected in your eyes
Your scent, your touch, the dream of you
Your skin, your voice, this dream of you

The ache never heals, never leaves me
Orchid tears trace indigo scars downward
My unsleeping eyes see only your face
Fingers aching for your tender touch
Desperate for the echo of your pulse
Bodies combine, the dream of you
Our souls collide, this dream of you

Distant dawn paints memories of you
Fleeing into the shifting shadows and light
I wake, the taste of salt on my lips, into blue
Sleep disappearing between my heartbeats
I lie silent, soft and empty, waiting again
Aching alone, my dreams of you
Never-ending, these dreams of you

Darkness Dreaming Wolf

D. D. Wolf — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 21:06:48 +0000

In the darkness
Wolf dreams his wolfish dreams
In the silence
Sadness pools behind dimming eyes
In the cold
Races run long ago fill his heart
In the emptiness
He sings his songs to the silent moon
In the end
Wolf dreams of darkness dreaming Wolf

I am a leaf

I am a leaf on the wind
Floating blythely on the breeze
It is the sky which I own

I go where I am taken
Till wind comes to blow again
To new places I call home

Two More

D. D. Wolf — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 01:01:11 +0000

Two more tears in the river of pain
Lost amid the floodtides of sorrow
Drowned in the crying of the rain

Two more tears tracking down my face
Mixing with the old bloody scars
My darker sins have traced

Two more drops unnoticed in the storm
Engulfed in the grey lead of despair
Clouding every day since I was born

Two more drops and two again
From eyes never emptied
A heart that never mends

Two more acid drops to fall
Searing through remnants of soul
Burning apart dreams and all

Two more nights when dawn won’t come
Two more days when light won’t shine
Two more tears and then
I’m done

Crystalline Darkness

D. D. Wolf — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 00:53:21 +0000

Where dark elves go to take their rest
Beyond where the Phoenix flies to nest
Lies power; crystalline, dark and cold
Harnessed lightning awaiting the bold
Seek this blade at the risk of your life
Far safer be it to take a basilisk to wife

Skeletons cackle silently in the dust
Mute testimony to greed and lust
Will o’ the Wisps dance round the hilt
Flickering enticingly amongst the gilt
Are you the one foretold long ago?
Cast out from above and from below?

The crystal pool and the shining sword
A king’s ransom and a devil’s hoard
Bleeding the holy, burning the fool
The crystal sword, the shining pool
Half between the East and the West
Where dark elves go to take their rest

Across The Bus

I am a geek by trade, and this is just a silly little rhyme that popped into my head. It doesn’t make any sense, but maybe it doesn’t have to. I liked it none the less, so I thought I’d share.

Silicone systems synching bits and bytes across the bus,
Dumping data downloads user not unlike one of us,
Relays regard registers transistors transition types,
Broken busted bent data comes pouring pounding past pipes,
Cpu’s cogitate copious binary bitstorms,
Drives deliver details while ram resists refuted rest,
Display adapters draw dainty pictures put upon protons,
Animated angles acquired picture pretty photons.

Today And Tomorrow

Laz — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 06:18:31 +0000

Today
I dream about tomorrow
Tomorrow
I remember yesterday
Yesterday
I dreamt about the future
Now
I can only dream of you
