Donnie the Poet: Born with a Love for the Magic of Words

Nothingness

A quick, punchy poem!

Break

Now!

The apparition of these faces

On a subway train:

A thick, black bough

That dissolves back to

Nothing

Cannot be with a poem


And I am back with

This crowd

That speeds

Back into the night

Donnie Reading His Poem "The Roar of Aurora"

Wait for it!

The Feeling of a Freedom

Each facet of the heart is a detuned facet

Of God above, 

An infantile facet

Of God above

And each facet 

Carouses on busses pretending 

To be nothing. 


There is something 

Like a Rubaiyat to the world! 

Trust in this Rubaiyat!, 

How the trusses of 

This flawless perfection are formed 

Where piecemeal breaks occur -

Not a perfect existence. 

But a Perfection will emerge 

From everything still. 

God’s unfaltered will

Is beyond the flagging 

Of the individual feelings.


Our pain abstains from healing

Our pain abstains from healing 

Only for moments. 

Which may happen: 

hours, decades, years:

Then the moments pass.


Our pain is just this strewn ballast. 

The heart, the heart,

After many hours,

Turns free at last!

A Life of Love
