Chapter One
Intro to Read A Poem
Written By: David P. Ferguson, MBA, BSc.
Come walk all the way with the likes of me, true majesty,
with sublime scripts from God in my poetry.
Walk my road so that you can see, what it means to
want love and never be free.
Reveal to me, how this life came to be, filled with
despair and so much tragedy.
These dark days from the Pharaoh's heart, manifested
on paper in poetic art.
I give it all to the world, and like an ancient scroll; I lay
out my experiences and let it unfold.
I Dream of Love A Poem
Written By: David P. Ferguson MBA, BSc.
I dreams of love, does love dream of me, I hear its cry,
does it hear my plea.
I dream of love as time runs through my hands, the soft
caresses embraced by the touch of romance, I
see it passing as a stranger in the night, but to
approach and come forth, it escapes and takes
flight.
Forever out of reach, not meant to be held, by one such
as me, still under gloom's spell.
I dream of love as one might success, a needful desire
of a heart in distress.
That quiet storm which brings many to mourn, still the
feelings of contentment from which happiness
is born.
To have and to hold, to chase away this cold, which
princess of light dares to be so bold?
To take and to form this misshapen heart, from tattered
rubbish into splendid art.
I dream of love, for this feeling I aspire, but so much
fear and trepidation tangled with desire,
I dream of love for I want to be free, from the weight
of the world that will not release me. Free to
roam, free to soar, everyday as I progress, I
want this more and more.
I dream of love, love does not dream of me, I hear a
distant call so I hearken to see, I skip, I jump, I
prance, to see it fleeing in the distance as again
I miss my chance.
I dream of love, love does not dream of me, so should
a dreamer keep on dreaming, or give up this
dream and just let love be?
Another Place and Another
Time A Poem
Written By : David P. Ferguson MBA, BSc.
I wish to be in another place at another time, with another
song and another rhyme, another heart that was
not mine, searching for joys I know I could find.
Skipping through meadows enjoying the breeze, indulging
in pleasures that came with great ease,
But reality knocks, and the present walks in to remind
me of its harshness again and again.
No joy, no love, no peace, no source of laughter no
forms of release.
Harsh expressions from cold strangers, harsher words
from false friends, verbal wounds cut to the
heart, so deep there can be no mends.
When will the cycle end, when will the new begin,
when will the bad stop flourishing and the good
start to win.
Who will hear my cry, when I cry in the dark, who
senses the real grief when I make a remark,
No one will, since I'm lonely still, with coldness and
silence that threaten to kill.
I wake everyday to the drudgery of life, the pain, the
sorrow and yesterday's strife,
Eyes on the day, I think once again, more pain and
suffering and I see no end.
I wish to be in another place at another time, with
another song and another rhyme, with a new
beginning, new emotions, a new heart and a
new mind.
New benevolence and new love, new joys of every
kind. for these things, in this place, it seems, ...
I'll never find.
