Danny Speicher Poems

My dearest Euphrosyne I love you
Oh, how great the struggle has been to show
With hopes of a relationship renewed
But time has stopped, I must now let you go
...

Momma

Late night movie watching scary movies
Perhaps long before a kid should watch them
...

My mind is shattered apart in pieces
And fear reigns as I ponder what comes next
As yet another of life's dreams ceases
Each day I don't know if I'll be perplexed
...

Her eyes could soothe my deepest pain
Though they attempted to restrain
The tears she always tried to hide
For long ago her roses died
...

When I think on you, I think kind of you
No, love didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped
The pain, for a time, made it hard to cope
But, blame and anger are not what you’re due
...

Did you know I pray for you in the morning?
As the dew wicks away from the rose petals
Or when Winter snow on evergreens settle
Even as Spring storms, they come without warning
...

Tick, tock and with each moment life moves on
On up and above the noise of the past
The hum of past failures... Fanfares of joy
Take a hold of life... Time is fleeting, fast
...

Oh, Corinth, with intellect and knowledge
This flame within me has gone from your door
At times there must be a rekindling
So, that flame might burn brighter than before
...

Hello again, my dearest friend, my child
It is good to see you again at home
I have watched you wandering the world
I have watched you feel very much alone
...

There's an odd sort of feeling in my soul
Heat mixing with cold and hope with distress
Sense of destiny and losing control
When will this tearing apart be made whole?
...
