Rodney Dufault Poems

We've all this blood passing through our ventricles
snaking through our bodies just like tentacles.
Without heart's our brain's are only vegetables,
and the language of love would be unintelligible.
...

I just want to move on,
and be rid of the pain;
Now that my youth's gone,
and I'll be a kid not again.
...

You are the only one for me and you always have been.
What you have done to me I never thought could happen.
You found a way under me; Broke through my substratum.
I had destroyed me utterly, but you raised me a fathom.
...

It's been a really long time,
but now I've got back my flow;
Like a wolf where I belong. Prime;
Within a full moon and its afterglow.
...

When I wake up in the morning
my first thought is of you.
If you're not there beside me
I do not know what to do.
...

I find inspiration
from without, from within.
Situations I've been placed in
made me doubt I could win.
...

If time is the enemy
then rhyme is the remedy;
Every line has the energy
to shine, but don't censor me.
...

I write these rhymes with such minimal effort
that you could say that I'm a syllable expert.
My topics range from my ugly criminal record
to things more strange like unpredictable weather;
...

Just when I think I know it all something always makes me humble.
I have to tear down all these walls before they slowly crumble.
I was in the dark for the long haul but I no longer want to fumble,
I know now it was the wrong call, please forgive me and let me love you.
...

Today, my sole intention is to open your eyelids,
so you can see the world from the dimension that I did.
The inventions of my descension into bloody violence
and an honorable mention to my ascension from all the silence.
...
