Alison Mary Dunn Poems
If I move from this place then the rhyme will be lost
like the dreams when you move from the bed. All the lessons
we’ve learned between slumber and light are the truths, never making
the pages of knowing.
...
No I don’t want to turn back the hands of the clock
I don’t wish to be younger than this
I just want to be me, as I am here and now
To enjoy the enjoyable kiss
...
The meadow draws in deep
Taking me back with its inhale
I walk as if in sleep
And find me at the water’s edge
...
Here in myself I find me lost
As I fragment inside the core
These tiny scatterings of shell
Are spilling out onto the floor
...
Here behind these eyes
Lies a labyrinth of thought
Rows upon rows of mind
Dream wistfully away
...
We clasp our hands
to close the gap in our divide
To feel the Negative of
...
He stands out from the crowd
This deep poetic being
So dignified in his madness
On a higher plane of feeling
...
I wish I had a sound bite in my head
Extrapolating all my thoughts unsaid
A true form of myself
The soul of me
...
Can’t make the dreaming stop
It spells the truth out right
For in the cold of night
I wish your shadow to return
...
Eyes dilate at the first abstraction
Dreaming their way through a void of suns
Portals appear in the mind’s expansion
...
As I sit with you here
spelling out every tear
Telling mind heart and soul
of the things that I fear
...
As I strolled by to kill some time
Monroe lay poised on show
A tiger’s eyes leaped out at mine
All posters in a row
...
I say hello, one small
hello. To let you know
That I’m still here
You play the game and
...
Eyes took what they think they saw
as being strange, or what was heard
explained in theory, by other viewers
Squinting to fathom what it meant
...
On a whim we did
Outside the limits hid
In transcendental style
If only for a while
...
I’ve seen the void inside your eyes
That curious stare that took me in
The black abyss swallowed me whole
From when you laid your eyes upon me
...
We need time to stop and think
To read ourselves among the signs
Understand these lines we have written
And so reveal the message in them
...
When clouds fade I see a dawn of dreams unfold in the fall of words
Floating from the blue sky like snowflakes melting in the sun
They’re always there in the cypher of change where joy and pain will meet
and disperse behind the smiles we choose to keep
...

The Best Poem Of Alison Mary Dunn
An Ode To A Poet
If I move from this place then the rhyme will be lost
like the dreams when you move from the bed. All the lessons
we’ve learned between slumber and light are the truths, never making
the pages of knowing.
All we have are these caves living deep in our minds
Where potholes are many and where entities speak, on their own
in the dark. Here the hand has to steer very close to the soul
or it writes on regardless ever emptying out.
All these dreams, they’re for us to pass on when we die
so that others can read as they journey thereafter. Your words
lit up cities where I chose to roam. A much needed distraction,
one I’ve treasured so long.
Your mind softened the pain when I got stuck
When these caves heard my cries all alone in the dark
You lit paths for me there when the lights went out and you reached for
my hand when the rains came down
So while you are a poet who is still undead
and the clocks on the walls tick around my longing
Show me your pages that remain unread and bring light to these caves
where my soul is crawling.......
