Dan Frank Poems

Shimmering in the sun's early rays
Striking intentions that lack purity
Illuminating the coward behind the lion
Acting as though there are no inhibitions
...

Sweat pours down my face
All eyes looking through me
Not being tried by a jury of my peers
Bury my face in my hands of nothing
...

When the world tilts
Where will you be?
Lying in the grass
Letting it wash over me
...

Oh love, where is thy sting-
In this, my hour most foul?
Through fields of famine and forests of fear I hath travelled
Only to be withheld of my indulgences
...

Alive and Not Well
I gave you all of me
You gave it to charity
Stripped naked before you
...

I don't know how to tell you that you didn't mean anything to me.
You never knew the real me.
I faked happiness whenever I was with you.
Everyone thought we were perfect.
