Some Poems by Dirk Cotter -- Dcotter@clear.co.nz

UNTITLED

Thoughts and wants siege my mind,
Half seen things covourting with their kind.

Confusions dark clawed rancor resides in my breast,
And only your healing touch called at my behest,
Could succor my mind with a moments rest.

It is a day and a day and one day more,
And time has expanded to fill my sundered core.

Behind my eyelids appears beauty to harshen ethereal light,
Beyond others hearing is your voice, quiet words of awesome might,
Both spreading a loving net far to strong to fight.

My flames have been aroused and now brightly burn,
Though i suspect you don't know me and do not wish to learn.

My heart continually whispers of its yearning need,
But fighting it rooted, is an insidious seed,
That that night was thunder with no storm to feed.

It is a desire driven to be adorned,
Wishes to be scattered by the winds of the forlorn.

It is a heavy burden i wish i could bear,
But hated hopes temptation has risen to ensnare,
Locked against my will, am i in its lair.

So now must i pursue acceptance of love heart felt,
Though i risk surely, shattering to a fate cruelly dealt.

Life


LIFE

Life is a road difficult to be walked,
Life is a journey not to be balked.

Life is a wave to be rode all alone,
Life is a million directions never leading home.

Life is a mission to I know not where,
Life is a creature i hold in abject fear.

Life is a torture, repetitions of unwanted pain,
Life is hated, why do we do it ? What do we gain ?

Life is an entity you will never be able to own,
Semblance of control is stupidity i can not condone.
