Jake Deeds Poems

Two hearts beating, one warm one cold
How will this romance ever unfold
How will the passion ever be told
For the love of God please grant me one wish
...

I've spanned the edges of echelon's ledges
And languished the austere abyss
From the hue of grey's obscurity
And time's eternal perpetuity
...

On top of the mountain and beside the stream
Where the switchbacks converged and split the seam
And the eddies swirled and churned moonbeams
I fell in love within a dream……
...

The moon hung at half mast
And frowned upon the frozen ground
The passage to the perilous past
Where silence sealed the sound…
...

The Space Between

You are always there…
When I need a wonderful friend
...

Solitary

The night comes surely...
And wickedly so as the clock
...

The old grey goose no longer sings

As he falls from grace and flings his wings

And flings his wings to no avail
...

Has love been lost on falls' first frost
And the sadness, remember, the days of December
Fear not, the cusp of winds, for renewal begins
And the shadows of moon reign in June
...

Oh, where does the sweet sunshine show
Through the cold clouds dreary drab
These visions of tropical rehab
Keep me warm in winter's throe
...

Loneliness is a pyroclastic flow of emotion
with a low flashpoint...only ceasing upon self consumption...
...
