Dale Totten Poems

Alone he wakes to greet each day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Watching the sun make it's rise
Another day of silent cries
...

There was a time not long ago
When yes was yes, and no was no
Good was good, and bad was bad
Happiness was simple to be had
...

River, lazy river
carry me slowly out to sea
Past your drooping willows
and your mighty cypress tree
...

The young are lured deep within
by what they see and hear.
A beautiful facade is erected,
that takes away their fear.
...

Look into his eyes
Past the haunting stare
The horror
Unspoken horror
...

Silence speaks a language
The language of the mind
It's golden when things are good
But yet can be unkind
...

When I entered this world,
was my life's script already written?
I think I might have got the wrong script,
because I sure didn't fit in.
...

I fly away, yet one more time
To that other place, deep within my mind

Hidden in the middle of nowhere
...

New king sittin on the throne
Ruling just like a third reich clone
Who is this guy, no one really knows
That's one hand, he just won't expose
...

I get up every morning,
at the break of day.
I check myself in the mirror,
make sure I look okay.
...
