"Another talk"

What shall I talk of, to you this evening?
Paltry little items to waste both our time's
Epic things to stir your shallow interest
No I just want to see you for what you are

What the hell do you want of me
Alright you need to know of my ways
That's a laugh as I can't relate to those
I think at an instants whim so what's next

Too much has passed my eyes to this day
To tell you in a few words, would fail both of us
You in your understanding of my ways,
and me in a feeling of being understated

The crown

evening is a germ gem
that albeit corroborates the crowns perdition
rain buds are soft on child skin
abducted pride equinox

sacrifice..........to universe
diamond dispositions forged fickle of anxiety
grafted on the ranks an epaulette
dermis of a sullen sun domineering

Soliloquies of a Demented Mind (Epilogue)

I'm in a fix:
My mind's rocking back and forth like the obverse of a clock's pendullum,
In reverse simple harmonic motion, anti-clockwise as I try in vain to curtail these torrid emotion,
This quicksand I'm sinking in,
I'm caught in a permanent paroxysm/ Enmeshed in a maelstrom of a vortex trying to suck me in,
Like a fisherman winding his rod backwards my mind is reeling,
I look foward to the future propheticaly;
while simultaneously I flashback into my past retrospectively,

Silence too Menacing

Where are you, love?
You're not here by my side
There's a stranger on our bed,
lying with me every night

He wears your face
with a missing smile
He did not embrace
your zeal for life, your style

I yearn for your touch
for your calming voice to soothe my heart
I don't ask for much
I just want your love never to part

My soul is shouting in anger
but the silence is impenetrable
I can't stand this any longer!
Save me from this mad cycle

Snow Job

Even the bars are empty
on a windy Friday night;
no one has the strength
or cash
to even drink enough
to momentarily forget
their golden cages.

Freedom rings
they tell us,
in this land stolen
from the weak,
made richer by the weaker
and the force
of others used
to make them work,

but the only truely free
are those who
can afford to flee.

hermits gloss costume

cure congeal catacombs
heritage of break silence
spawning grounds......slur syllabic
lushness parched throats

truncate and receding
monument and truncheon
in solitary devolution
echo of pinnacle

pedestal the leper whose feast of apparition
fruition dote bearing similitude
restrain the condiments- me and you
a mirror - strewn

Nature and Him

YOU LOVE nature
more than you do a woman
yet I am glad
you they summon,
to enjoy the bountiness,
the glory
the fiery story
composed by Almighty

He hasn't wasted a time life
in eternity
creating
destroying
recreating humanity
along with it naturality
and
as you call it poetry
I say tis a mystery....
why man runs after

power and money

f r e e d o m r u n

tar baby
melt under the blue
smile and history
wraps up
all the depths caressing you
the parties ghosts
and you
the unhappy host

beneath the doubtful skies
a welcoming
room
lonely and emptied
a spring of flowers
waiting
a summer of joy
derailed

inside the rains fall
afraid and drawn in
this journey
is about to begin

away from all that hurts
and dissapointments
faded like a winters
coat

a pure journey
the last hope
