Anthony Daniels Poems

Listen closely now to that almost unfamiliar sound.
The sound of my heart shaped drum now beat, beat beating again.
This sound long thought to be silenced forever now has a new reason to play ever so loudly.
You are the reason I may be able to play my love song once more.
...

I have come a long way from where I was before.
This transformation along the road has taken place over time as I walked.
I continue to evolve as I press onward.
I may not be the strongest but I will fight for you when the time comes.
...

I take you by the hand, we spin round and round again in this massive ballroom.
The only thing we hear is each others heart beats as we move around the room twirling to the beat of our pounding hearts as the sounds of their duet play as one.
This is the romance between two in love.
...

Divided is what we are due to the mental state we are in as a people.
Divided we fight and belittle each other for all of their amusement.
We gain nothing as long as we are divided within our own communities.
As long as we are divided they will always hold the power and have strength where we are weakened.
...

I set them up so beautifully surrounding us in the shape of a heart.
I light them one by one, after they are lit the flames dance gracefully around us.
On this candle lit night I guide you to the bed as I take you by your hands.
I lay you back slowly and roll you over onto your back.
...

Scanning the perimeter for the next potential buyer, the next target has been locked in my eyes and they now burn with fire.
The desire for the cash this next guy will offer me in exchange for a few things here and there is child's play to me now.
...

I miss the days we used to share when I was your world and you were mine.
Living so happily enjoying each others presence.
The days where we could just talk it out about anything without having to worry about the other casting judgment.
The days of our very passionate love making, cuddling in each others arms in a warming embrace.
...

Do you remember the first time you ever laid your eyes upon me, you found it so hard to speak and I just giggled?
Do you remember our very first kiss with one another and how awkward it felt waiting in the line at the Starbucks afterwards?
Do you remember all the laughs we shared over each others mistakes and your clumsiness every time you would accidentally hurt yourself trying to show off?
Do you remember the time things took a turn for the worse when your mom passed away and I was right by your side the entire time?
...

Once upon a time we shared our first kiss, the kiss that spawned a thousand memories in the years that have passed.
We lived by the vow of each others soul that we would love each other relentlessly without fail no matter what.
