    Dedications:

    Dedicated to my father, David Byer, and my brother Joshua for believing in me even when I didn’t…

    -----------------------------------

    Foreword:

    This collection of poetry was written over the course of many years going as far back as 1988 when I first started high school. For me poetry was not only an outlet, but also an opportunity to exercise my creative muscles and try out different approaches and ways of expressing myself. Many of these proved to be a lot of fun writing as I tried to work within and without the confines of various poetic structures. The subject matter ranges from poems about love, war, loneliness, sports, politics, to such things as the alphabet and literature. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I had writing it.

    -----------------------------------

    Absolution

    Someone no one wants,

    Fades like worn shoe leather,

    And a cold laugh in the wind.

    Timed to the arc of noon each day,

    Waiting for an event of proportion,

    To change the path of the next winter.

    How much is this thing life?

    Valued by some as precious and wanted,

    Tossed aside by others as if dirt.

    The plank is rough with splinters and nails,

    Sticking in the bare feet that tread it,

    Before hopping off into the next setting.

    Blinking screen with typed words,

    Failing to convey the anguish,

    That is felt by the person who writes.

    Does one really know oneself?

    Or is it a delusion of arrogance

    Written with that cold laugh?

    -----------------------------------

    After moment's time

    Give the tithe to the grasp,

    Of yesteryear remembered.

    When possibility danced,

    To a flake of the heart.

    When your eyes met hers,

    But you failed in your words.

    In that moment you simply wanted,

    To ask her to marry you.

    A return of the moment,

    No weight would be too crushing.

    Your lungs would seem lifted,

    And your mind to a shared future.
