Daniel Kleinhans Wentzel Poems

the day
poetry died
an ordinary day
the words just quietly faded
...

Wisdom
personified
as feminine beauty
she is more precious than rubies
...

within
my memory
these thoughts of humankind
everything seems to happen with
...

awesome
peaks and valleys
searching for a new zeal
slowly my soul boards the plane to
...

Sorrowful and resplendent she arrives
Flaunting the wares of her twisted archives
Her seductive drink of prepared pleasure
Seeking a lonely, foolish heart's treasure
...

Laughter
from the belly
releasing endorphins
relieving the pain in a heart
...
