DWELLER

I am a creature of habit wanting
little beyond the moment I live in.

Passing days and immortal nights
Caught between the silent eternity
of twilight and dawn where shadows 
 beneath silhouettes form light 
 surrounding the storm. 

Clouds forming patterns of symbolism
In a constant state where distant
possibilities impress me.

Dwelling in constant hope! spoken words
would never compare to thoughts that
flow words set in ink the reason I think
so I am.

A man of simple gain the dark and light are
my treasure I skip between with pleasure .
I have screamed loud underneath the biggest
bell and felt it resonate back through its shell.

Having dwelt in dark and light I see it as I might.

Wow Ziggy

I really like this one from you. There is only one thing that poked out at me and it was the periods away from the end of the lines. Somewhere I read it is not good to put the periods in a poem, maybe that was a review someone allready did here, but it is your work, and I am only here to point out a period or two. Mona laughs you asked for raw truth and I threw you a bone>>> Love it ziggy your a good poet!! Love, Mona TIME well spent is TIME well lived

Zigs, you know I like this one - I like the rhyming stanza's at the end and as you also know I would use those, repeated, to form a chorus. This is quite a dark write for you - and I like it! Great title!!! LOL!! Good job, well crafted and delivered.
