Rodney Dufault Poems

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.
...

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 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.
...

One twist of words, or one twist of fate
and this could be yours to contemplate.
Where is this earth across this space?
I have searched the universe. No trace.
...

You want to hear something beautiful from me?
You wanna hear about the birds and the bees?
Or what I heard from the trees?
Or how about the Earth turns...Please.
...

Most of the time I feel like my brain don't think like yours.
Whatever you are thinking, I think of differently I'm sure.
While you think of ways to not let people through your door;
I'm thinking of how to keep them from ever stepping on my shores.
...

When this winter comes
if there is no little sun
I will get us one.
...

I don't think I see myself in the same light in which you do,
but which one of us is right? Is it me or is it you?
They say it doesn't matter what you think, but I don't think that's true,
for people always find wrong answers in conclusions that they drew.
...

I try hard to be selfless, and grow in my stature.
Shit that I've dealt with helped me forgo the latter.
Sights I've beheld; Shit, you tell me don't matter.
Still, I have to tell it; Or else I grow madder.
...

If the road to Hell is truly paved with good intentions -
Well, I have so many of those that most I never mention.
Let's just say this road is very long by my very own invention.
And even though I'm very strong, I'm now at an intersection.
