Daniel Mentor Poems

They stooped sullen
Their friends eloped sudden
Grave makers in the woods
Meowing and hooting to the hoods
...

If our imagination be the real world
We've got nothing to worry
A world of our own creation
It's the world I'd prefer
...

I grieve for my country, I grieve
Our eyes have seen our ears
We have eaten of our own dung
Is this curse or blindness?
...

Nature's pedant, friendly foe
Time's tide - must you
In winter wind the earth
Dampen the fields and frighten the creatures
...

Carefree as I ate
Regardless of tomorrow
My stomach seemed filled
But the taste magnet
...

I can feel the hollow
The emptiness in the corner where you heap
At the mercy of your reckless shadow
The substance of a true legend yet to be
...

Thither and thither we ran
Hoping to find refuge
The worst, the chief of fears
Hunger, pain and sickness our company
...

Here comes the sun rising from the east
'tis a bright colorful morning
Mother earth beneath smiles with ease
Lilies and purple hibiscuses
...

Oh! heavens above I look to you
Behold your wonder
Aren't you the cradle and the grave of beauty?
And as you spread your glorious hands
...

I am surrounded by darkness
Empty Hopeless darkness
Everything I think is mocked by everything I do
All day, emptiness and guilt boo
...
