writings and poems of Joie Versaer Dantia

Hello, Dear Readers. If you happen upon my blog with the hopes of finding an earth-shattering poet or writer, you have come to the wrong place. I am none such person. However, I will attempt to give you a snap shot of my heart and soul, as it occasionally pours out with inkblots and scribbles. I wish to remain anonymous, as hearts and souls tend to be much more appealing without a name attached. However, if you must needs have a pen name, you may attribute these thoughts and poems to the name Joie Versaer Dantia which means "the abundant overflowing of joy and fresh air." And although, my heart (and therefore my writings) does not always reflect an abundance of joy; my soul, on the other hand, does, and will always remind my heart to breathe in as much joy and fresh air as is humanly possible.

On the Music of Fear

Fear chokes believing~
And whilst it works its murderous deeds,
It sings a ballad of lost love
and unfaithful lovers
in the promise of current and future
love's end.

Each time Fear's song begins,
pain and anguish and hidden feelings
Float along the staves of air
and plot each note
along the way.

Fear is the world's greatest composer
Its love song is its masterpiece--
touching the hearer in the deepest part of his soul--
leaving the child in frozen awe,
the woman in heightened tears,
and the man in certain skepticism.

Yes, it weaves its melody
through mountains and valleys,
through cities and countryside,
it walks on the ocean and dances in the street
and rubs its hands in gleeful anticipation
at the birth of new unknowns.
~Joie Versaer Dantia
