Poems by
Donald Terrell KNOW ONE’S SELF/ ROMANTIC OBSESSION Your life is one of many in too many ways. The first is your mind, which controls the full body. But when that goes, the rest will follow. The second is your lovely heart, which is important. When the entire soul is like a fire escape of balconies and your eyes are the complete window to an endless world of lost beings, confident deep within yourself, your true concerns of respect for your heart rise in motions that speak out into those who refuse to completely understand the right matters of one’s self. It’s like an unavailable website that just won’t come up.
POETRY IS Poetry is a summer’s buzz that runs through my soul like flowing water like the true love I have for one with no name.
MEANING SKY Born without sight, traveling through the night As your feet walk in darkness And your heart is filled with fullness of sight Touching the inner parts of self As the brightness of your soul comes that one curtain of that dark night Which becomes that bright heart of love at night.
TRANSFORM ONE’S SOUL It’s a miracle enough to trace around the past, Then improve the real tones of the brain. But naturally, the healthier the brain is, the more radiant. So how must I redeem myself for the woman of my soul? The snap of my broken heart is like the snap of a falling tree. But within, the whole sleepless tone of one’s dark empty soul comes to light, a beautiful radiant heart of love and passion that shall make an honest connection with the departed ones— with their lost hearts and souls. 24
