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.
