Touch of rose

King of Fools

Posted in Poetry

King of Fools

 

Now you have seen where I have been

you know what I have seen

surely by now you understand

forever is lost in the snow

 

I've looked the tiger in the eye

where truth and lie

have no significance

the only difference is what one would believe

 

We raised piranhas in the park

while we sung our own songs

older than Christ  and the fall of man

each offered his own blood sacrifice

 

Living beneath the moon

in our castles made of sand

while I jumped the gun

right before the shot

 

Death was just another private affair

I was the one laughing in the back at the funeral

dressed in white among the black

priest eyes watch with gruesome care

 

But what do the dead care

if we dance upon the grave

or cry in the land of nowhere

 

I made a promise on an old sharks tooth

more than I'd ever swear to the Bible

that Book of Lies, your honor honor your honor

what does god have to do with it?

 

He sits upon a throne made from your tears

but we never had a care

we use to race crickets for good luck

kiss the spider and live forever

 

When the curtain falls in the dark

you know only what was left unsaid

while in the snow your immortalized

a bride in white, your crimson disguise.

The Wax Doll

Posted in Poetry
The Wax Doll
 
She was a doll
with painted skin
and cherry pit eyes
 
Made for sin
with lips of lime
and peach pit cheeks
 
Her hair a golden weave
only when the sun did not shine
how sublime
 
Crafted just so
with skilled hands
working over flesh and bone
 
Ivory essence
with a rose bud nose
laughing in silence
 
In silk and lace
black patten shoes
she stood at the stake
 
A Mona Lisa smile
and eyes that did not blink
she held the truth hard as stone
 
Not a word, not a breath
she had no heart to beat
even as the flames spread
 
Not a drop of crimson
only wax began to disfigure
soften and solidify
 
May she be molded again
each time with a little less soul
while she watched in silence
 
Perhaps it was just a shadow
or did she just wink, a twisted smile
a creature without a heart
 
What does she feel?
while all her parts are implored
one thing she knows, the taste of death.

Mornings Breath

Posted in Poetry

Mornings Breath

 

The first breath of morning

flush upon the skin

like the brush of rose petals

in the wind.

 

A quietude that cannot be put to words

but felt and understood

in a precious moment

where all stand still at peace

 

A subtle realization

all too soon lost

a beauty of the harmony of the soul

 

Gentle caressing

as the warmth of the sun

seeps into a tingling breeze

not to be rivaled

 

In an eyes blink

like only a passing dream

it slips away too easily

disturbed, a shatter

like fragile moth wings.

Wake No More

Posted in Poetry

Wake No More 

 

Distilled
from sleep
wakefulness
 
Awake
trying to return
to unwake
unreality
 
Dreams
flitting by
unconcerned
butterfly wings
not to be caught
 
Wide-eyes
seeing nothing
dawn irritating
imitating
something now lost
 
Trudge
through days
hours; minutes
unassuming
unresponsive
 
Only for the remedy
nights falling
welcoming; embracing
stilled again
into sleep.

The Pale Horse Rides

Posted in Poetry

The Pale Horse Rides

 

There comes the pale horse

across the glittering snow

a sea of white, where ghost prints

leave no trails.

 

A shadow of a figure

mounted upon its back

undisturbed by winds despair

it seems to glide

as the pale horse rides.

 

There is no escape

when the faceless shadow

extends a hand, a whisper lost

to the souls

 

come and ride

away upon the pale horse

 

Moved, quaking inside

only coldness is the touch

but there is no denying

the draw to the darkness.

 

To be swept away

upon the pale horse

and ride forever

into the light of the moon

 

come and ride

away upon the pale horse

 

There echoes softly in the still air

not a sound heard, not a sound made

you know the time is here.

 

The time to ride

into the darkness

and sing the chorus of souls

 

come and ride

away upon the pale horse.

The Feel of You, Taste of You, Scent of You

Posted in Poetry
The Feel of You, Taste of You, Scent of You
 
Close to you
I feel your breath
warm; tantalizing
 
The scent of you
lingers in the air
the touch of you
a caress in the darkness
 
Your fingers lead me through
trusted wholly to you
flesh upon flesh
set aquiver and afire
 
The taste of you
upon my lips; my tongue
skin upon skin
you find all the right places
 
Falling into you
your thighs
hold me still
your heat radiates
 
Thrills ripple through my body
you know just where to kiss
each stroke
of tongue and fingers
awakening
 
My love, my lust
set me free
in the ways of love
 
Your body instructing mine
naked in sin
naked in innocence
 
Limbs wrapped up in each other
hushed words, whispered names
rhythm of two bodies
friction; heat; sweat
body to body
yours and mine.

Soul-Sick

Posted in Poetry

Soul-Sick

 

Too many lives
left behind
to be brought to this point
upon the trail of dust and bones;
death in the wake,
but only a death of the body,
yet what becomes of the soul
when the world makes it feel
insignificant
 
With so many changes
born witness,
so much pain and sorrow,
and yet when one no longer belongs
what is to be done
 
There must still be a calling
to lure the soul back into body
but this currant state of being
so miniscule compared to
what had once been
 
A longing for a place
that can never be returned to,
a world that was worth so much more,
such things praised today
eat away at the soul
that still remembers
 
Remembers a time of meaning
those who exalt the shallow glories
of today are those who forgot
or never knew the power that once
sung true
 
When every rock and river was sacred
the trees wise teachers
when man knew how to be grateful
for a life that was not by birth-right due
but earned in every act
 
How could any soul
that once remembered these bygone
days of yesteryear
truly be content
in a world
where all meaning is forgotten.

Soul Rythm

Posted in Poetry

Soul Rythm

 

I feel the internal hum
moving through my blood
like the Taos;
a vibration on every bone,

 

Speaking to me in depths
that are not words;
upon the surface
it disappears,

 

But carried within
the bass beat plays,
a song of the soul
never understood
by human ears,

 

It has no language
and cannot speak
but it strums
through the nerves;

 

A spasm of sound
that will not break;
a voice that is mute
and has no mouth,

 

But far from silent
it calls through the marrow
and twangs with the tendons
and veins.

An End In Fire

Posted in Poetry

An End In Fire

 

Perhaps my pain
is the greatest pains of all
a loss of hope
a spreading numbness.
 
The wasteland is coming
a time of death and dust
it will be an end in fire.
 
The world will burn
it will burn for greed
and ignorance
for the fat wealthy
and communist countries
it will burn for all technology
and so called progress
a joke of civilization.
 
If you wonder
who is responsible
for the slaughter that is to follow
the last extinction of every
endangers species
the end of life
you need only to look in the mirror
each and every one of you
you have all contributed in some way
for your every modern convenience.
 
But most of you will get off lucky
the atheists who believe death
is the final end
the Christians with their heaven and hell
but I have the misfortune
of reincarnation
what will be the state of my soul
once there is nothing left
no where else to go.
 
A floating oblivion
I draw memories
from the past
a world much richer
though others claim it was a time
of savagery.
 
What has really changed now?

Cancer

Posted in Poetry

Cancer

 

All things must come to an end

or so they so like to say

but do they grasp the

flintily; enormity;

the terrifying consequences

of these words

 

tossed around like flippant philosophy

but than man always loved

self-fulfilling prophecy

 

to be right

at any cost

that is the creed

of the human race.

 

Pitiful and in disgrace;

some speak of protecting the innocent

innocence, such a relative term

for I see none, not among the race

of homo sapien

 

guilt flicks in every eye

your very existence

should be a crime.

 

Every act of laughable charity

is only an attempt to try and

fill the void somewhere inside

so you may face yourself

in the morning

 

convince yourself

you´re doing some good

but inside you each know the truth

if you want to stop the cancer of this Earth

save the true innocence

who have breathed long before you

 

take a lesson from the lemming

they dive off the cliff sides

by the thousands

 

self-extermination

for the greater good.

Water Is Forever

Posted in Poetry

Water Is Forever

 

Water whispers softly,

a murmur against the roar,

but its voice remaining

forever memorized,

echoing in the mind,

while all else

is only momentary

fading away as soon

as it passes

 

Yet water is forever,

a trickle that runs

in the stream of thoughts,

taking you away

from all other noise

of meaningless sounds,

but water imparts a message

 

Flows freely,

reshaping as it is shaped,

following a course along

the trail it blazes

 

Water is immortal

and never forgotten,

wearing away steadily

with each passing age,

always the sound of

water can be found

even as a faint gurgle

or a resounding roar.

What Love Is

Posted in Poetry

What Love Is

 

My love quivers through my body

with a force which tears

apart each of my fibers.

 

A fire burns through my soul

as my love is a passion

spreading beyond all control.

 

Need aches within every nerve

as my love proliferates like a cancer

deflecting all attempts to stifle it.

 

My love rises upon growing waves

mounting up into a tsunami

which no boundaries or barriers can stop.

 

With all the power and force of nature

my love comes in a flood

rages like a hurricane.

 

Rips through my body

and sets my soul in a twister

throwing me into turmoil.

 

And when it crashes like thunder

debris is left scattered and in shambles

my love is mayhem.

Black Pearl

Posted in Poetry

Black Pearl

 

I pause and listen

for the sound of my beating heart

but there is no answer

but the stillness of no sound.

 

My heart is a black pearl

sunk beneath the depths

it is not buoyant and cannot

float above,

 

yet it is not faithless

and tries to swim in frigid waters

with a fading pulse,

 

but pearls have not wings

and mine is not white

with purity, brine of salt

crusts upon the edges

 

while awaiting

to be plucked

up from the shelf upon

which it rests, in that place

of menacing eyeless fish

for there the light does not shine.

 

My heart is a black pearl

upon the ocean's floor,

chucked from its shell

defenseless within its own

hardened case.

 

It cannot swim

so it must always be sinking,

trying to breathe beneath the pressure,

hidden well, it does not shine

like those that gleam in all white.

 

I try and listen for its

faint beating,

but the silence

and my echoes return,

no longer flesh and blood

my heart is a black pearl.

My Heart Upon A Bier

Posted in Poetry

My Heart Upon A Bier

 

My heart upon the bier

cast among rose thorns

and wilted laurel,

their colors bleeding

into one.

 

Bore away

to slowly be sunk

within its grave

upon a day

of dismal gray.

 

Weeping clouds

like the trees

alone to bear witness

as it is set down

among the dirt and stone.

 

Caked in dust

as if forgotten,

it has seen its last day

of growth.

 

No longer fertile,

as the day comes to a close

it shall now rest

encased in the darkness

and cold.

When You're Not Here

When You're Not Here
 
I feel when you are not here
and I just want
      I just want
you to be near
 
I see your face everywhere
and I just need
      I just need
to reach out and touch you
 
and I feel when you are not here
and I just want
      I just want
your arms around me
 
when I hear your voice
      I just need
      I just need
to taste your lips
 
Please, oh please
give me a kiss
 
and I feel when you are not here
and I just want
      I just want
to be with you
 
I want to cry
knowing you are not
lying by my side
 
      right here
      right now
 
Every thing I need
it's right there
     right here
in your eyes
 
and I feel when your not here
and I just need
      I just need
you right here
      right here
by my side.

Buried In Dust

Posted in Poetry

Buried In Dust

 

They are now the forgotten,

treated no better then children,

watching with sad eyes

and wondering how this happened.

 

There was a time

when they were regarded

as sages; the wise men

and wise women.

 

Once they were listened to;

treated with respect

and dignity, for their experience

and commendable years.

 

What has come of those days?

When now they are ignored;

laughed at; humored.

 

An age that regards itself

as civilized; far advanced,

walked over; steps on;

brushed aside a generation.

 

A generation once heeded,

now wheedled away, over the years

they have become what we made

them; expected of them.

 

A pest; a nuisance;

infants in diapers;

invalids needing to be

waited upon.

 

Former leaders of men,

speakers of truth,

and holders of wisdom.

 

This is what they have

been reduced to,

the forgotten ones

watching with sad eyes.

Lost In Your Eyes

Lost In Your Eyes

 

Hold me close beneath the moonlight
whisper in my ear sweet goodnight,
let your fingers caress my hair
as I lose myself in your stare

and chase your bad dreams away,
in your arms forever I will stay,
and all our secrets we will share
as I lose myself in your stare.

We will lay before the fire
and quench our deepest desire,
for a moment free of all care
as I lose myself in your stare.

Hold me close beneath the moonlight
as I lose myself in your stare.

Memory Box

Posted in Poetry

Memory Box 

 

Here the memories are kept
tucked away in a little wooden box
where tears of the past are wept
 
Resting under a girls pillow as she slept
inside there is a loved ones locks
here the memories are kept
 
Secrets only for the heart to accept
yellowed photos like fading thoughts
where tears of the past are wept
 
A place both sorrow and love have met
and time stands still with a broken clock
here the memories are kept
 
In the corners dust and cobwebs crept
as the sadness in the shadows still knocks
where tears of the past are wept
 
Within a little box the past is not dead yet
a preservation so dearly sought
where tears of the past are wept
here the memories are kept

Blinded By the Sunlight

Posted in Poetry

Blinded By the Sunlight

 

Warmth pours against my face

tingling throughout my skin

there seems no escape

from rays piercing like a knife

lancing my eyes

fire burning down my back

hot breath on my neck

if only the clouds would come

blinding Apollo's eye

so I may once more take breath

and escape this oppression
