I’m a poet and photographer. I’m currently releasing a self-published poetry book entitled Our Dreams…an Endless Summer.

My website is www.bobbydavidmitchell.com
Within the bleakness
of heavy skies, a single
#ray. A sunbeam ushers
in a renewed hope
for the day.

It was an inverse
of emotions
the reddish
iron-rich sky,
smoldering fury
of a dust storm.
Settles & then
clears in time
for the soft blue tint
of a #martian sunset.

There’s this lingering
feeling like a #saucer
that #hovers above
the surface. Emitting
an #energy that alters
the very #atoms
of my being.
My soul softly
fleeting. I’m drifting,
slipping into
the unknown.

1947,
lightning-like
flash in the sky.
A crash & #unearthly
rubble & remains
left to be found
in the desert.

The night fell
& I’ve lost
my #chance.
Only waiting
now for
tomorrow’s
dawn. So
hopefully
I can
begin anew.

My #conscious being
lost within dreams.
Dreaming deeply
forgotten memories.
Playing scenarios
I wouldn’t otherwise
would’ve imagined.
Waking up
& wondering
was it nothing
more than a dream?
I was left questioning.

Serenity has
eluded me
constantly
dwelling on
an #arbitrary past
that I refuse
to let go of…

#Sentient no more,
not even a robot,
an automaton.
No longer a being.
A hollow shell
of a soul that doesn’t
love or think anymore.
Moments forgotten
& gone. An old book
dusted & worn
in a language
that is spoken
no more.

Ambient morning
light shines into
the room. The bitter
taste of coffee lingers
on my tongue. Outside
the morning air has
an earthy scent, maybe
it had sprinkled
sometime during
the night. Today, I
took in the #mundane
before rushing into
another arduous day.

lit thru the night,
gleaming
luminously,
flickering
tears
of remembrance.

Fallen valor,
the stakes have
become too grave.
Desperation sets in,
adrenaline #seethes.
The moment has
finally come to this.
A breath, then exhale.
The tipping point
has passed, time
for healing at last.

Yet in the end
I can still stand.
In the end
I withstood
the worst.
Yet my will
endured.

I’ve become
too digitized.
My longings have
been copied & pasted
too many times, too
compressed, my dreams
are now pixelated.
I’m suffering from
a lack of imagination.
In desperate need
of some #pixie dust
to sprinkle some
wonder back
into my life.
To dream so vividly
once again.

These #wings
disintegrate
like Icarus’s.
Folding onto
themselves,
I took a great
plunge. Never
have I thought
I could fly
so high
to then fall
from such
great heights.

There’s a #hum
in the breeze
as the trees sing
in a language
if we listen closely
maybe we can
comprehend.
Whispers of
seasonal changes
or a mournful dirge
of an endless drought.
A symphony of nature,
resonating from a gust
before a storm.

Watching the branches
sway, I fell asleep
while laying beneath
the old #elm tree.

The sky opened up
& I fell, plunging
into the depths.
Being caught
within the tides
& currents. Holding
my breath until
hopefully I can
breathe once again.
Once the calm
of the #sapphire
blue of the ocean
returns. Somehow,
I survived beneath
the now settled sky.

Life comes in moments
I don’t know if it’s fate
& by design or by complete
accident or circumstance.
I’d given up on destinies,
no point on pursuing
such fantasies. But
chance shall have it
that somehow our lives
should intersect
& I couldn’t be more
happier for this sincere
#happenstance.

The sky bled in #crimson
this morning, the clouds
painted in the deepest
of reds. The dawn rises
over the mountains,
casting a luminous
glow until the blues
soften the sky
for a new day.

I woke up in silence,
the night trembling.
I stayed silent
for a moment,
just waiting.
I don’t normally
have nightmares,
but it’s over,
is it safe to fall
asleep, I pondered.
Yet it seems as tho
the night is full
of tremors.

He lowered his brim
& lit his cigarette.
I swore I’ve seen
him before, possibly
in a spaghetti western.
Where the outlaw
is no more
& the hero rides off
in his dusty poncho,
cowboy boots, & jeans.
Into the stunning
desert sunset
with music
that’ll surely get
stuck in your head.

I’m a bit perplexed
by your dull-wittedness.
Or more so your
complete arrogance
or rather your
incompetence.
Standing & yelling
into a hurricane.
Your message askew
& dangerous.
Yet the words
are lost in obscurity
or rather absurdity,
I couldn’t hear you
thru this wind.

I hope we meet again,
somewhere beyond
the great unknown.
Past the mist & fog,
the surging tides
& the lands unbeknownst.
Somewhere beyond
the stars & beyond
the warp of space & time.
It’ll bring me comfort
if I knew somehow
we’ll still end up
#together.
