Her Eyes

By Damien Knight

The shadows, my comfort can’t hold my love
I ache so to see her eyes shine for me
Swimming beautiful staring into my own
My heart fast beats A love that sets me free
I wrap my arms around her waist
Plead she dance with me, her laugh fades
I stand alone in empty field of flowers
How is this destiny, my heart so played
I love with no malice, I desire
Stay in my arms I’ll keep company
Eyes filled like the ocean between us
I am not perfect still stay here with me

Distant (2013)

By Damien Knight

I feel forgotten almost sad
No not almost, the weight is sorrow
I know inside it’s the drop
My decreasing testosterone
Yet I feel such heart ache
I spent all day mind on her
I just want to see her
To stand at her side again
How is it we live so near
Yet we’ve become so distant

My Dream

By Damien Knight

Wild flower of the forest
I soon cut off my hand
Than to stop writing my heart
Only in my verse can I speak
How deep the well of my emotion
I shan’t call these things love
For I have built walls from pain
She is brave, quiet, certian
I am anxious, shakey, and passionate
She is active, intelligent, beautiful
I am average, dull and boring
Her voice is a song I cant sing
Her heart one I wouldn’t wish to break
I soon cut off my hands than forget
How much I love that dream

Time To Wake

By Damien Knight 

I would search the heavens, the moon, the stars, the universe
I would search the whole of earth, from Seattle, Seoul, Edinburgh, Hanoi
Every heartache, every face, ever dream I have, every written verse
I believe in fate, all things have a reason, alas though once more 
I ought give up and embrace the truths laid out in front of me
Anika Sora, she lives in my fantasy, my deepest dreams 
I am happy loving my angel, eyes like the bluest sky, soul like the sea
Ignore the visions of the past they brought agony, despair
Stop searching the heavens, the moon, the stars the endless skies
Stop hunting the earth from city, town and streets
No more verses calling out to a desperate dream of lies
Wake up Koraki, Damien, the night is end, embrace reality

Constant Vigilance

By Damien Knight 

Horrified, absolutely astonished how long I didn’t know
Watching me, reading since almost as far as May
Not a clue I had, silent I was stalked like prey
My blood rises with anxiety say it isn’t so
Who would watch months watch silent like the Truman Show
Was I so oblivious I should have guessed at this                                                 
I was painting words back then for another in bliss                                            
Clueless another was there at all if I checked, would I know                            So clueless! Ignorant of how to work statistics for months! Fantastic!             
Still what could I have done? Is there a thing different I would say?               
After all now I am happy, delighted and plead my guests to stay                       
My love of writing, women, science and education isn’t a gimmick                
A lesson learned here on blog management, at least I may say                 
Keep watching my friends it’s better than the Truman Show                           
Stick around, what is here is real and I would hate if you had to go
It is because of you I now post here every day
