Dah Helmer Poems

1.

Near the edge
a broken link

Still it's not time
...

Perfection and imperfection
storytelling favorites
the fable
of yes and no, good and bad
...

We continue
to fill our journals
that become smudged maps
to our past
...

Timeless:
the surf's ageless boom hushes the sunset
and the water drags a bluesy nocturne
under the breakers
...

This is not the end
cut short
by lack of territory
...

The Best Poem Of Dah Helmer

Crash

Near the edge
a broken link

Still it's not time
the colors are bright
laughable
the air vast

I will sound off
shaky as it fades
half dark
like some prey's last moment

On the other side
hours crash

Dispirited reverie


Because I have slipped
from believing in anything
I will slip
from the world's memory

Nice poem Dah, I like the cryptic visual expression in the wording.
