Closed Eyes

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

One cries alone, a poem never created.

So I will fall asleep in time, with closed eyes, where the dream, never opens.

These eyes may stay forever and more open, only upon $100 bills that is my retribution to righteous pompous politicians. Oh, the Pun of Poets, who guard the Republic, and its Democracy, from idiots.

Now, I lay me down to sleep in a Knight Mare, writing Pegasus, into Closed Eyes celestial eternity. Pray there is a "No Trespassing" sign for idiot politicians.

The greatest threat, to any nation, “LIES” in those that follow “LIARS.”

Closed Eyes

Vertical I ~
moving,
fall to await
horizontal pillows
Mid eye to eye,
ply alone,
thy silent night voyages

Eyelids,
nose centered,
amid bed sheets,
log journeys
Straight razor,
skeletal raked key,
somber see faring.

Quiver naught,
be taunt line stretched,
waver thin hope
Thy wraith,
rides dye Wake,
more dead
than ever alive
Dost naught life,
at times,
become smooth as silk
Meaning less vastness,
rip tides,
bee still
quake insides.

Dreams looking,
on the in-side,
bear timeless dimensions
Dost moonless e-scape,
a-cross blank voids,
fill demotions
Wraith seeks
closed door key,
to open quest
for answers
But alas,
there is no miracle,
to elevate
thy celestial spirit.

Lifetime,
endless quest -
to be questions,
bring yea -
no answers
As lungs fill
in hallow air,
only to expunge hollow,
thee jester
Build it,
they will
come-s sandcastle tears,
washing out to see
Only to hear,
“Thank You For Your Service”,
tear you apart.

Pawns played,
used be expendable,
censure censored
Chess pieces
So One Man,
as black,
or white
can prevail
as Master Checkmate
Human pieces be used,
discarded as expendable,
serving as bile trash
The Party of One Color,
One Man,
One Religion,
One I - with 2 eyes.

So thee say -
yea cares,
can I sell you the Bible,
used by politicians
Who rake,
and pillage,
under God,
sayeth Caesar,
be due His taxes
Religious right values
of eye to eye,
they taketh dye
torn dream away
Living alone,
an empty casket vacuum,
laying horizontal –
Closed Eyes.
(One cries alone,
a poem never created)
