SNOWS AND RAINS

COLLABORATION BY DANNY EL GENTLEDAN & DEBORAH RENEE©2014

(Danny)
Canyons of love, where flaws were bred.
A Punic faith, with hope and trust.
Was made the meat and daily bread.
On the isles of a pilgrims thoughts..

Memories were burned on discs of dreams.
My hope was slain on crystal tears.
A tender eyes, a subtle gleam..
Made my heart sink, in seas of care..

Icebergs of friendship melts down and drain
Leaving wet motes of errors that now remain
Frozen between the crevices of my heart.
By the wintery torrents of lonely pain.

(Renee)
Desert winds, coarse and merciless,
Depart to where, when I am lost,
Golden landscapes, dry loneliness,
Pain holds me here, love's endured cost.

Tears of yesterday, water the grounds,
a pointless effort, no flowers will bloom.
This land barren, gray clouds abound,
my body carries a heart of gloom..

In scattered dreams, where rainbows smile,
on plateaus of faith, seeds I cast.
Still a flicker of light, I pray now,
To again be wrapped in angel's grasp.

(Danny)
Ruffled papers blown by the wind..
On which was written, on the fields..
Memories of the tender dews of dawn..
Turned to soft tears, a broken mourn…

Snows rejoice in the wake of solitude..
A heart once adorned with warm pulchritude..
Merrymaking in the feast of brokenness..
Remnants remain clothed with rags of formlessness..

Sensitive tissues of affections devolve..
To maggots of hate and sheer distrust..
Eating the remnants of a heart, filled with love..
Decomposing, into the grounds, dead and lost..

(Renee)
Yet in the season of dying.
Still there's a gasp for air, for life,
God rejects the yearning for slumber,
Though this pain feels like a searing knife.

In the valley, where the breeze sings not,
where my heart was slaughtered in the sun,
I trudge, where life's hills show no mercy,
Miner of hope, seeker of peace beyond.

Standing now upon that pinnacle,
Between the boulders of life and death,
Without urging, in the desert night,
Still I pray for the rising moon of love.

Frailty..

My heart is prone.. Fragile, a biscuit bone.. To emotions.. It can't afford to be thrown. Into the dungeons of misery.. It can't bear to be blown.. Swept by the hideous gale.. Bereft of all sense of reasoning. I asked my soul.. "where is thy victory upon the hills of sorrow? Is thy fate the merchandise traded upon the uncertainty of tommorow..?" My heart is frail, weak, it may fail... To recognize.. The importance of existence... Because, as a lonely soul walks in the valley of tears.. He becomes immune to life's worries and fears.. I know not if the sunset will be blue.. I know not if love is sweet and true.. When fragments of betrayals litters here and there.. Coming together to form a formidable force your soul can't bear.. Do you flee or look for ways to become free.. Free from the chains of stagnation.. Free from the fetters of feelings unrequitted.. Or remain bound, hoping you will be discharged and acquitted.. This heart is weak.. An emotional freak.. ...

The Bliss Of Hamattan II

The morning chills, with frozen burns ...On my skin, As hair strands reform.. Erect like soldiers armed with guns.. As the yuletide hits me with scorn.. The Chilly haze of fog now smiles ..On my face, In white powdered plight.. The winds disrespectful, now plies.. Strong torrents, in freezing delight.. The roads now sings the songs of praise.. As buses and sleek cars now race.. To hinterlands, built with thatched roofs.. And villages, with rusted roofs.. In rustling sways, Christmas relays.. Its rays of hope, on frail mankind. The birth of Jesus rings for few.. As many bask in randy screws.. The hymns are sung in sanctuaries.. Of different lands, in continents.. His birth created the estuaries.. Of salvation, and death to sin.. In timeliness, the Christened day.. Blooms rays of hope for the derailed.. The winds plays the chords in yon fray.. With reflections on hymnal trails. The looney tunes of Christmas sounds.. Now speaks volumes in hearty thew.. C...

++Constellations++

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...
