Elton Dean Poems

The air tonight is cold and will not allow the mist to settle,
So it looms mid-air frozen in chains.
The snow has fallen and sits undisturbed waiting to erode,
But it will turn to ice to take my balance before it’s done.
...

The sun will rise and throw the moon into exile,
We all sit here in the shadows,
And we let the world turn until it’s time to leave.
Dreams can turn to dust if left alone.
...

These words I type are meaningless to those who hold no meaning,
My breath is nothing but waste lost in the atmosphere,
My dreams are to be laughed at and torn apart,
I do not have the right to stand any more.
...

Tonight the sea is calm,
But the timbers of my boat still creak.
The sails fly flat as the wind has left me,
And the moon is held hostage by the clouds.
...

The stone walls will echo the cold,
And I will freeze where I stand.
No love lies here,
And the stained glass has destroyed my vision.
...
