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.
...

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.
...
