"Windows" (Poem)                                          (Written as a Spoken Word poem)

2/20/2023

So I took a walk today
Cause I kind of wanted to hear
What nature had to say
When it whispered in my ear
 
And I walked past all these houses
With their windows opened wide
Hearing snippets of the stories
Of the lives that lived inside

Always (Poem)                                  (Written many moons ago)

12/21/2022

Thoughts of you are constant,
the smiles wistful,
and intermittent many times throughout the day.
You will always come to mind,
on the days when the sun rises,
and the moon comes out at night.

Buckets (Poem)

8/18/2022

You…. were born with buckets.
 
Not the kind of buckets that hold water, but the kind of buckets that reside inside, and hold the things you hate about yourself.

"Cease" (Lyrics)

When will I cease to be
Drift away, drift away
I won’t be me to you someday
 
When will I die to you
Fade to black, fade to black
Once I’m gone I can’t come back

Inside The Outside (Poem)

7/16/2022

2 Comments

 
The old man shuffles away slowly,
each movement making joints ache
in a discordant cacophony.
Each step,
a trial of balance.
But inside, he is young, proud,
and full of a life and spirit
from a younger man’s day.

Your Lipsticked Lips (Lyrics)

Your lipsticked lips
Brush against my fingertips
And chills crawl up my spine
I’ve known it since I met you
That I just got to get to
Make you mine, mine all mine

Goodbye (Lyrics)

3/17/2022

0 Comments

 
I'm tired and it's time to go, it's been a long road.
I've lived such a cherished life, and I’m not owed
I've done my share and I know, I've had my say.
And in my heart I know that, I don't regret a day.
 
But now it's time that I drift my way back home
From where I came, I'm going back there now
I'll be leaving all the ones I love and know
But now it's time for me to go back home

Don't you cry for me sweet baby, wipe your eyes for me sweet girl
I'll be in your heart sweet baby, don't you cry for me sweet girl
Don't you cry for me sweet baby, wipe your eyes for me sweet girl
I'll be in your heart sweet baby, don't you cry for me sweet girl

DREAMFLIGHT

1/30/2020

3 Comments

 

May a warm wind come down from the skies, whisking you away, taking you on a journey through the stars, across universes untraveled.
 
While you ride in the warm arms of the wind, may you see spectacular glitter, and colors unimagined.
 
May you be swept to the edge of the universe, traveling through time and space to galaxies never before traversed, wishing upon shooting star after shooting star, hearing the silence of nothing go by. The sky around you black and seemingly shiny, with billions of tiny lights in the distance, each becoming extraordinary large as you sail by silently with a speed unmeasured in the vastness of night space.
 
May you see life, beautiful life, intelligent, loving, playful, and always friendly, as you speed your way through time, and may the warm winds hold you and give you comfort as you ride your trip of a lifetime.
 
Colors unimagined, bright and deep, play like fireworks upon the black canvas around you, silent, quiet, yet filling you with a wholeness you have never felt in your life. A strange new sense invades you and gives you comfort, making you smile involuntarily, nodding to yourself as you go.
 
And may the warm wind bring you around and down once again, setting you gently in familiar surroundings, all knowledge gained, senses aroused, fulfilled, yet home again as you open your eyes.
 
 A dream? Real?
 
You gain a better sense of your surroundings, acknowledging your life as you know it, and realize while you have just experienced something extraordinary, something you will never forget and will be able to experience again and again without ever being able to fully describe, maybe even to yourself, you also realize that you are earthbound, never having left your comfortable existence.
 
You sigh, somewhat disappointed, deciding you need to raise yourself and move. As you do, you gaze downward toward your arm, as some fine, powdery star dust falls off and lifts in the breeze.

FEATHER IN THE BREEZE

6/7/2019

4 Comments

 
You’re a feather in the breeze
Prodded rocking side to side
No control no direction
As you drift upon the wind
 
Jetsam on a broken shore
Empty life with hints of more
Waiting as your savior
Lifts you up to take you in
 
Transparent and so fragile
Stripped naked and confused
The tears have worn away
the underneath
 
You sacrifice your values
Give up, give in, give out
Prostrated and so
Open just to breathe
 
Fragile, cracked and broken
Jetsam floats upon the waves
Your own needs go unspoken
In your offerings to please
 
Opened with acidic hands
Your inner self wears thin
In a life of hidden winds
You’re a feather in the breeze
 
Silent tears in dark of night
Only you to hold you tight
With loss of soul in darkness
In some ungodly way
 
You cry in silent sorrow
As the sun unveils morrow
You face the waking challenge
Of pushing past the day
 
Fragile, cracked and broken
Jetsam floats upon the waves
Your own needs go unspoken
In your offerings to please
 
Opened with acidic hands
Your inner self wears thin
In a life of hidden winds
You’re a feather in the breeze

I Needed

2/27/2018

I needed to imagine a grin on your face,
if just for a second or two.
The sun pouring down for a brief point of time,
falling down as to shine just for you.

I needed to dream of a mere moments lapse,
where I see your half sleepy smile.
At least I can feel I turned on the sun,
if only, if just, for awhile.

I needed to imagine a brief point in time,
where the day glow could shine down on you.
I needed to think that I could do that,
if just for a second or two.

    David S. Chorney

    This is where I'm supposed to write something about myself. I still have some hair left. I am still undecided which I like better, photography or painting. My four major food group are seafood, melted cheese, pasta, and Advil. I love the hunt of a finished piece of art. All quotes, essays, stories, and any other written piece on this website, are original and written by yours truly, unless otherwise noted.

    Please, share everything you can from this site. I'd like to make this site the central part of every single living person's life. And become modestly famous and fabulously wealthy in the process.  I promise to share.
