Daniel Parker Poems

Confidence is magical; it takes you to new heights,
It gives us all the will to fight a war,
To make our eyes just dazzle, to shine like tiny lights,
To make us have the heart to achieve more,
...

My memories, some sad, some gay,
The glee of times that passed,
It seems that life has had it's say,
And made me come in last,
...

So clean, untouched, so perfect, I take you by the hand,
Your beauty, captivation, set me free,
Thoughts race through my mind, of us, together, in the sand,
Your voice, so gentle, calms me, like the sea,
...

The bitter taste of failure, my goal, it seems, unreached,
The final hurdle trips me, sees me fall,
The message that I lived for, the values that I preached,
They failed me, they did not heed my call,
...

I look upon my figure, in the mirror of my dreams,
The scars across my chest are clear to see,
I sometimes question motives, why go to such extremes,
When clearly you don't feel the same for me?
...

I sit alone, just gazing, above into the sky,
The sun gives out it's heat upon my face,
I look on in amazement as the birds carelessly fly,
...

The chains that hang around me, so heavy and so cold,
The sense of disappointment lies within,
The memories that fill me, the thoughts of times of old,
The challenges of keeping feelings in,
...

I once was asked a question, define the word called love,
The largest feeling one could ever find,
They asked for my depiction, I searched from up above,
And let all of the wonders fill my mind,
...

Take my hand, your safe now, your free from all this pain,
My arms are where you really need to be,
My heart is yours to enter, your love is my domain,
You have the tools, so darling set me free,
...

I can read emotions, they're like an open book,
The words, so clearly etched upon your face,
The utter contemplation, your foundations don't seem shook,
So tell me, just how do I win this race?
...
