The Sonnet of the Lone Guardian Angel

(A lone voice whispers)
...

Now my life's great party's over and this Black Hole

I now live within
Ruled over by Father Sin
...

Some may call me a charlatan

A new reborn follower of a King
...

I first met you in my childhood
And I can still remember

When I used to look out of that bedroom window
...

5.

Circe

With the last transmuted rays of
A dying Sun
...

6.

E

Within time
Whispered Mister E
...

There are maybe*
*Five playgrounds*
*In life we visit*
...

Healing Hands

There once was a beautiful lady named Terri
...

She visited me at 15
Like an untasted maelstrom of tempestuous emotions

She whispered like a midnight seductress

Would you still follow me if I lit a red candle
In this final odyssey

Would you follow me willingly into the swirling dark
...

Go deep
To the Eternal well
When you sleep
...

What in more exquisite pleasure
Lies
What beyond all earthy measures or
Sizes
...

When
The bright fireflies
Enlightened the black
Stygian darkness
...

Will you still
Walk with me

The one I once named
...

When your souls in check
Hanging on whilst on the edge

When the dark days and nights
...

17.

Is it nearly midnight

And are those invisible tears still falling again
As you dream of me
...

The Cry Of The Pagan Sorceress Queen

With wide crystalline eyes
...

Are we friends beyond skin

Is everything in our lives
simply meant to happen
...

(Alone voice whispers)

Within whiskey filled nights with a lonely cigarette alight

The Best Poem Of John Duffy

The Sonnet Of The Lone Guardian Angel

The Sonnet of the Lone Guardian Angel

(A lone voice whispers)


Some walk alone
seeking salvation


Others in groups seeking redemption


Through a silent breath, they all sing the same songs


A convergence of emotions to redo old wrongs


A joining of minds to continue the journeys


Emancipation has always been the lone cries


Voices echoing in the darkest of nights


We hear you and you are never alone


We see you


We are always by your side


This life has never been just a one-person ride


We are always with you in those lonely dark nights


An invisible hand to hold just hidden from sight


Keep your faith in yourself and whatever maybe


The sun will shine just you wait and see


I was bestowed at birth to only you


By your Almighty old friend


To help you in all that you contend


In all that you do


I am a secret friend who nobody sees

To inspire all that is deep awaiting release


I visit nightly when you are asleep


When the world is quiet and you no longer weep


I walk in your deep dreams and we link arms and converse


We speak in all languages where nothing is terse


So if you have a glorious dream


If you wake up and still feel emotions and empowerment from a person unseen


It's simply me


Your guardian angel in life's twisted labyrinthine
