Leonard Dantzler Poems

I can’t fly, I’m not a hero, nor am I made of steel, but some how you make me feel like Superman. You plead for me to come home and I send your cries to fate in the hopes that the next year will be my last away from you. I regret the kiss I didn’t take so now your lips taunt me w/looks of delectability. Days w/o you are sickening, nights are just of pain. I’ve yearned for no one in such the manner in which I have for you. There is no Replica for You, No Replacement for the One I long for.

If I could Fly, I’d only fly to you. If I was a hero than I’d be your Savior. And If it is you by my side, than this love is all the protection I need.

Plucking stars from out of the sky
just to darken my world
No miles left to walk
I just stumble my way into Darkness
...

And All I know is everything that we ever were can never be
every night another dream is wasted on you but you never close your eyes for me
I bite my tongue and taste the iron, I close my eyes and inhale the pain
Erasing the love quotes from all my favorite poets and all my favorite songs
...

Angel, Angel w/your smile off angle,
jaded heart, fading soul,
let him go and embrace me whole
your eyes are haunted with hurt,
...

you're my religion, my faith
your eyes hold the depth of a starry night, infinite beauty
I feel like every minute w/o you, some part of me starts to deteriorate
distance has become a cancer and time has become a curse
...

I sit in the sky on my balconied cloud
I peer at the world as a spectator
They scurry about so busy
Too busy to realize that they are too busy
...

And through the darkness we emerge
Neither broken more then the other, but all the same we are broken
Mirror, mirror my very thoughts
Our intellect is one unparalleled
...

Pessimistic thoughts become parasitic
because her heart to my eyes just isn't plain
If I played the hand dealt
Then this black Heart ♥ would probably get buried with a red Spade♠
...

The flower that I wasted time to shine on because water was all you needed
I sprinkled other flowers of knowledge and the results didn't show if it took or not
You still glowed your beautiful red
I still remember the light on your golden pedal eyes
...

The Conclusion
In that instant, on your porch, my heart beat its hardest
My ears heard your feet fall upon the stairs as you answered the bell
