Rodney Dufault

We've all this blood passing through our ventricles
snaking through our bodies just like tentacles.
Without heart's our brain's are only vegetables,
and the language of love would be unintelligible.
...

I just want to move on,
and be rid of the pain;
Now that my youth's gone,
and I'll be a kid not again.
...

You are the only one for me and you always have been.
What you have done to me I never thought could happen.
You found a way under me; Broke through my substratum.
I had destroyed me utterly, but you raised me a fathom.
...

I was a man in so much pain I thought I could never love.
I am a man who feels again the things I dreamed ever of.
I will be a man who will hold your hand and help you rise above.
I was, I am, and I will be your friend and never give you up.
...

I am trying to find myself like I am on a walkabout,
I am trying to find a way for us to finally talk it out.
I am trying to get rid of the pain, instead of always block it out,
then why does it always come back to I just want to knock you out?
...

You are everything to me,
the things you can and cannot see.
I want you by my side forever,
always plus a year together.
...

Sadness awakens and now I am here
to be lonely again and live in my fear
of never ending peaceful violence,
forever hearing ceaseful silence.
...

One day at a time we live, we die.
We walk down roads that never end.
One day at a time we laugh, we cry.
We sit and ponder - who's our friends?
...

The light in your eyes
is how I can see,
how I know that you try,
and I know you will be
...

They fall upon my skin,
and the bed where now I lie
as I try to fall asleep,
but instead I only cry.
...

Some broken hearts
they fall apart
from lack of love
or not enough
...

Things take so long to build but can be destroyed in a fraction of that time.
That is why the love that has been killed is enjoyed throughout my kind.
This world is filled with ills that have been deployed into our spines.
That is why I strengthen will and fill your voids with all these lines.
...

We are who the timberwolves
are watching through the trees.
We are who the fire brings
beneath a stricken breeze.
...

We are finding parts
of broken hearts
amidst a sky
of fiery darts.
...

Everybody needs someone to believe you've got it in you.
We all need a reason not to leave, but to continue.
For those who don't believe, take all the power that I give you.
Think of all the things you can achieve when I am with you.
...

I know everything's not perfect
but it all can get much better.
Now I can write whole verses
when I used to only know one letter.
...

My family was so close minded
that I created my own diverse.
With people of many different kinds,
and no matter what we made it work.
...

I think that I see the art of poetry differently,
and there's a mathematical improbability
that for any rhyme I will have no contingency.
I can use every letter in the alphabet efficiently,
...

It's been a really long time,
but now I've got back my flow;
Like a wolf where I belong. Prime;
Within a full moon and its afterglow.
...

When I wake up in the morning
my first thought is of you.
If you're not there beside me
I do not know what to do.
...
