Poetry for people that don't even like poetry and those that do. Short and 'To The Point' poetry about Love, Life and the heartfelt pain that love can sometimes bring etc.

It's been said that T. J. Daniels' poetry has a Shakespearean innocence, a gentle tone. His poetry collection continues to grow, to blossom. Each word opens like a rose, reveals new delights; each thorn inflicts pain; each sorrow beautiful, truthful. He exposes love's vulnerability, and more. Love is not the only subject that he writes about, but one that everyone can relate to.

A few poems:

"Breakfast For One"

Lost somewhere in time.

With a love that is timeless.

My love is a lonely love...

Breakfast for one.

"An Unseen Hand"

A paper cup.

You can distroy it with no effort with just one hand.

Sometimes life feels like that.

Without any effort our life can be completely

and utterly distroyed without any effort...

By an unseen hand.

"Beautiful Slumber"

I watched as the slow rhythmic rising and falling of your breast let me know that you were sleeping.

I watched as peaceful memories filled my soul.

I remember the day we met and our eyes locked.

It was at that moment I knew you were the one.

I continued to watch your slumber 'til I awakened.

It was then that I realized...

You were only a dream.

"And Then It Rained"

You're hard to get over yet no tears will be shed.

Lifetimes will pass in the blink of an eye and the dead will remain where they fell.

I bent steel bars changed the course of mighty rivers and went to the stars yet everyone says:

Who are you?

You don't know me you don't even know who I am.

I've existed ever since there was light...

And then it rained.

"Death Among Your Peers"

Death so close makes you wonder

why am I still here?

Death among your friends and lovers.

Death among your peers.

"The Enemy Within"

We didn't get lost in the jungle.

The desert sands didn't bury us.

We survived the british invasion.

And we will survive

the enemy within.

(This poem was written in response to 9-11-01)

"Why I Write Poetry"

Sometimes I wonder why I still write poetry as there's no future in it and the future in life is death.

Yet no matter what I continue both...

Writing and living as though they both mattered.

"Memories Don't Listen"

I pushed the memories of her back to wherever it is that unwanted memories reside.

Sometimes the memories slowly creep forward

even without my knowledge until they fill my mind.

They do not belong here

in the present!

I swore that they would stay buried in the past.

But memories don't listen.
