Geoff Warden Poems

Drifting ever across the page
Leaving whispers such as notes
An unknown unto my land
A pagan descendant or a gem
...

As she dances upon thin wire
That had Ravel within my mind
And unfurls the steps she takes
Unto the mystic of the dark.
...

Coastal waters alien the playground
Corridors of trees, gateways surround
Mejestic Mountains reach hevenly hights
Give of reflection that ecliptic night..
...

Search and search until search finds end,
For the naked eye will not find,
A mask has hidden thy deepest truth,
From human heart and human mind.
...

Since '78, a slow steady depletion,
Dissipating family, foundations quake,
Latter part of year, wings take flight,
Baring north from ol' Douglas lake.
...

Lead me unto the gates of his grave where once shared the love
'tween Daughter and Father that is now just memory of the good
and the bad. Stand at this marble monument and explain the
comparison of the stone and the flower upon your lapel.
...

Deep within self-induced trance,
silence hath bread forth peace,
words rise from parchment bed,
twelve versing story of one.
...

Twas in that moment of sleeplessness,
that slowly I have faded into dream,
the somber feelings of yesterday's touch,
hath reached the dark empty spaces.
...

For 'twas in November's month
the change of guards took place
the month my heart fell to sleep
For 'twas in that darken time
...

Forever fight,
Flesh of bone,
Taste not it's delight.
...
