Daniel's Window

You ask for wisdom, I deny the page
upon which you would have me demonstrate
the warmth that is antithesis of rage,
and secrets that lie cold upon my plate.
Desire is not what love has promised us,
no simple education of the living.
Hard rain rolls down my back and shades my lust,
cool respite that counters what you’re giving!
There’s no question of our hearts intention,
the light of what we know and who we are;
pity is the cousin of invention
and sorrow but the shadow of a scar.
My passion is all yours for the taking;
my silence, the sound of one heart breaking.


The present was forgotten as we spoke
about our lives and what we’d done with time;
incredibly the years that silence broke
coincided like rhythm in this rhyme.
Each struggle matched by struggle of a kind
blended with our misery of each turn;
compelled by reasons of a common mind.
We both knew, but somehow did not discern
the bond that separation cannot sever,
the chasm that no substitute can fill,
tenderness that kindness cannot ever
restore in us the things that such love will.
Beware of moments past that will not fade;
sun’s light does not wither because of shade.



Winter is the sweetest of the seasons
despite that some may shiver with the ice
and linger in the longing for reasons
that might explain the need for sacrifice.
Each morning brings us promises of spring
without accommodation for despair,
I picture secret moments as I sing
of summer wind that’s captured in your hair.
Fading shimmer is autumn’s gifted tone
as harmony restores me in its wake,
the beauty lost, I now must mourn alone
with shining remnants left for you to take.
Winter dances in cold symmetry
with all that is within you that’s in me.

Just beautiful. Makes me wish I had someone who would write sonnets like that for me (sigh). Happy New Year, Daniel! Good to see that smile of yours..

Dan, your writings could make great lyrics for a Dido-like song. Dido is one of my favorite artists, and her writing style is just as graceful. How is your singing voice?

Candice! Where have you been? Email me sometime ;)

That's great Dan, put the two talents together you could be the next Billy Joel! Don't forget us little people when you make it big time though :)

I find Billy Joel's life story very facinating! He went from a self-proclaimed failure; even failing at his own suicide attempt when he was broke and his girl left him; to a incredible rich and famous star, adored by everyone, and married to one of the most beautiful women in the world.
No one would have known the piano man, and he would have lost all of this if his suicide attempt didn't fail.

Thank you, Jane. Shaun and Michelle! I appreciate the kind words. Jane, I'm no Billy Joel, but I am in a New York State of Mind!

Hey Dan...why don't you record a video of yourself singing and post it here on myfox?!

Hmmm...I'll consider that. It would be nice if we could just attach sound files to our blogs the same we can insert photos. Right now, I believe that the only way to do that is via an html link to an existing site that hosts video and\or audio.

Dear Sanctus aka Daniel:
Good evening, my friend. Happy 2008 to you and your family. It's been a long time. I've been blogging with AmazingMet1969 and DrDNP18 and some of the other wonderful bloggers. I trust and pray that all is well with you. If you don't mind, I want to say something to a very beautiful lady who likes to take pictures, just like you. LoveFoxFive aka. Candice, Happy 2008 to you my dear. I'm like most of the bloggers, I was wondering what happened to my musical friend? I was thinking that maybe you was hired by FOX-5 News as their latest Photographer (smile). Maybe you won Mega Millions, Lotto or Take-5? It's good to see you. Hope to hear from you sometime, my dear. Thank you Daniel, for the use of your blog.
Peace and blessings,
Calmax.
