A blue shield would be my only protection against the blue-pencils.

Too bad we can’t get love insurance.

I'll melt down my chain into a blue platinum frame
For the blue diamonds I'm taking from my Hublot's face
Look her old man in his blue eyes with a passion true as new
And ask that my something borrowed would be his Blue
I do. Will you...? Jay-Hova's Witness – Got The Blues

Dark Days Jay-Hova's Witness – Dark Days - Poetry Collection

This poem was written through an assignment that had me rearrange the words to Carl Sandburg’s Dreams in the Dusk.

DREAMS in the dusk,
Only dreams closing the day
And with the day’s close going back
To the gray things, the dark things,
The far, deep things of dreamland.

Dreams, only dreams in the dusk,
Only the old remembered pictures
Of lost days when the day’s loss
Wrote in tears the heart’s loss.

Tears and loss and broken dreams
May find your heart at dusk.

While the original poem has a melancholy tone, mine has been turned around to capture a much more hopeful and optimistic mood.

This poem is about people’s concerns during the day distracting them from what really matters, and only being able to get in touch with what matters when night comes and the world quiets down.

For I have often heard life is a dream Jay-Hova's Witness – Dark Days - Poetry Collection

This line brings everything together. The comparison to a dream represents the love the speaker has for his life but also represents the temporariness of life.

When you wake up, your dream is gone. Just as your life would be gone if you were to die.

Lastly, this plays on two common idioms. The first, of course, is “life is a dream”. The second can only be heard through the use of mind rhyme or implied rhyme which is a rhyme that people expect to hear but isn’t actually present.

If you read only the last two lines you might expect it to end “life is a bitch” which is a fair label for a gold digger who threatens to leave her man though he expresses nothing but love for her.

This contrasts with the first poem because it’s anticlimactic. It’s almost as if what the narrator is contemplating is too complex and personal that it forces his mind to move beyond the personal situation to the nature of reality.

She does not hold me in the same esteem
Because I love her she has been enriched
My wealth is all she loves though we are hitched Jay-Hova's Witness – Dark Days - Poetry Collection

Life doesn’t seem to love people nearly as much as they love life. Life is always temporary. Always pushing toward its end, while its owners typically run from it.

However, while life doesn’t show much love toward people, it does show preference for those who seek a “wealth of life”. When people love their lives they tend to be happier and more appreciative of what they have. A person who lives life to the fullest is often said to have a wealth of life. People with a wealth of life usually live longer and therefore have stronger and longer relationships with their lives.

If anything dare try tear us apart
I’ll fight for her until my last inhale
And hang on for my dear ’til I am frail
If she should end my day shall never start Jay-Hova's Witness – Dark Days - Poetry Collection

If you try to separate a man from his life he will fight for his life until he dies (stops breathing). He will hang on for dear life until he cannot hold on anymore. And if his life ends he will never wake up.

the first verse is brilliant, but I feel the rhythm sort of loses it’s power around this part.

My thirst and Fount of Youth and Holy Grail Jay-Hova's Witness – Dark Days - Poetry Collection

This continues the concept of “her” embodying all aspects of achieving something. In this line, though, the metaphor goes even deeper, incorporating symbolism that helps to create an even stronger metaphor.

Thirst represents the beginning of life. Humans are born with a motivation that drives them to grow and learn. This is also a reference to infants drinking milk as their primary and/or only source of nourishment.

Fount of Youth represents the middle of life. The is a very well known symbol of youth and vitality.

Finally, Holy Grail represents old age. The Holy Grail is the cup Jesus used at the last supper and is therefore quite old.

All three of these are symbols of pursuit which ties in with the overall theme of unrequited love in this poem.

This line is so playful and evocative! Thirst has such a modern meaning attached to it. (horniness) thirst –> water –> cup.

Brilliant!

Life is often described as a journey.

In terms of the love metaphor, this can be seen as stating that “she” is the speaker’s goal, motivation, and means to happiness.
