Dillon McKenna Poems

Alit on a limb, alone on a tree.
Nobody? I ask him. Nobody. Says he.

Fly here with me, and someone we'll find.
...

The love that starts at birth,
The love that starved the Earth,
The love you give every day,
The love that never fades,
...

Pygmalion! Ye of unsurpassed talent,
That spawned a figure of such perfect form
It caused your yearning heart to lament,
And wish that it were woman-born.
...

Long have my eyes been open,
Longer has my chest been sealed.
Over the years I have seen my soul chosen
Out of the tears and all the pitiful appeals,
...

A flower never smelled so sweet,
As when it is under your fleet bare feet,
The birds never sang so clear
As when you stroll near enough to hear,
...

6.

I was thrown from the gates of heaven
And fell down to the land below.
I watched the gold sun setting
In a valley white with snow.
...

Was there ever a cause of more mourning
Than that which burns by day and hides by night?
Of the power of Apollo's golden sphere
Won't you heed your father's warning?
...

Awake!
For the time of action is nigh!
Will no one chance to stay save I?
Fear not the foe!
...

You can take it all away from me,
Take my car, my coat, my keys
You can bind my hands and knock me to my knees
Force me to live alone on the street,
...

Let me see you for who you are, remove the blinders from my eyes,
Take a chance on an honest heart, we've both had enough of lies.
You and I both want the same thing, a love free of pain and fear,
Comfort when we feel the sting, belief when we see the tears.
...

If the trees in the forest ceased to grow,
If the rooster in the yard ceased to crow,
If the stars in the heaven ceased to glow,
And in the winter there was no snow.
...

Be still, my heart, there is no time for mourning,
Stay well apart, in despair we find a warning,
There is yet hope, and with it love,
The embers smoke, and with them lust.
...

I awake, and I am carried forth
On wings that none could see.
To a place on high I am borne,
To sing a song of poesy.
...

If by chance I should find a way into your life,
Would you still remember a smothered flame?
Through the years of doubt and strife,
My regret has been my greatest shame.
...

There she does lie, in a repose so serene.
Under pallid moonlight, in throes of wild ecstasy,
Wrapped in the silver beams, chasing what wild fantasies?
What great palace on mountain high places this Venus as their rightful queen?
...

I have seen the vision of pure beauty,
And heard the strains of perfect harmony,
I have felt the hand of fate guiding me,
And I have tasted the wild honey.
...

17.

See that flag of white fluttering in the breeze so proud.
Against the ancient sky, held above a serene and patient crowd.
The soldiers magnificent in mien and dress, their general lifts their hearts with his blazing sword,
Exhortations of honor and pride fill their breasts as they watch the advancing horde.
...

The dying of the light casts a doubt
On who is with and who is without.
In the blinding dark it is clear
Whose heart is there and whose is here.
...

I saw all life and all creation
Crouched under a fallen tree.
Rapt with lewd fascination,
Watching their world go free.
...

Dillon McKenna Biography

I wish I knew what I wanted to do, but I don't. I wish I would find a way to you, but I won't. I wish I could find what to say, but I can't. So here I'll stay, while there you stand.)

In Search

Alit on a limb, alone on a tree.
Nobody? I ask him. Nobody. Says he.

Fly here with me, and someone we'll find.
Somebody free, and with a like mind.

So many lifetimes can be spent like this,
For the right time, waiting for a wish.

The dreamed vision of, we may never see,
She is already in love, we may never be.

We must take a stand, we will be bold.
I will lend a hand, you will find one to hold.
