MAN'S KIND

Ants- we work in endless toil

Hurried feet across the soil

Stopping just to procreate

Then once more unto our fate.



Rats- we all live underground

Scurried thoughts and whispered sound

Surfacing for work and play

Then back down come night or day.



Birds- we flock to distant lands

Fluttered wings across the sands

Making nests we hope will last

Soon forgotten in our past.



Men- we take all that we see

Muttered claims of destiny

Building what we cannot grow

Destroying all we do not know.

A SHOW

The Sun so hot

In a fusion dot

Blaze the day bright

The Moon so cold.


In reflection white

Droll the dreamy night

The fissure chap

A game in crack.


Between the two

Who clips

The boundary

In a wedge.


Does it limber up

A show

For a Grand Finale!

THE POET

I think..! Because i have a brain

I eat to live because.,

My human needs requires it.

I speak because, I have a voice

I write words because it is me,

THE POET...

NEVER ENDING NIGHT

To this world I am now a ghost, as I sit trapped in.,
This never ending night;

The only way I can ever speak to you is...

Through these lost letters that I write

During my life I learnt our time is precious

My goodbye kiss was lost when my heartbeat slowly faded away

I also learnt life is full of surprises, I never guessed...

That i would have to write you this letter some day

Time never gave me a second chance

I never even knew I was so close to the end

When I see you cry I can no longer hold you

I guess death has turned me into an imaginary friend

My screams have become silent

Every night I have to watch over you

Helplessly as you cry

I can no longer talk, So I cannot even whisper
goodbye..

Each time I see your head facing the floor I try to pick up your quivering chin

But each time I reach out to touch you my hand just passes through your skin

Sometimes you try to talk to me whilst you are sleeping

I try to comfort you in my arms, but with
these transparent hands I can no longer use them to hold

I try to kiss you goodnight, but you always whisper for me to close the window as you are feeling cold..

I am stuck between worlds, Our love is now an incomplete story which is way too strong to ever truly end

I miss feeling my heart beat, But most of all I miss my best friend..

Sometimes you look up, and I would swear through your teary eyes you are looking straight at me

I keep waving my arms through the air, But you simply cannot see..

The only way I can ever speak to you is through these lost letters that I write

To this world I am now a ghost, As I sit trapped in.,

This never ending night...

MINUTES AWAY

I'm minutes away from my own drowned feelings

I'm captured in this moment and don't wish to be rescued

You see i took a picture of my soul spilling

My heart within these lines was a shattered piece

Like a broken window

I was cold i beg of you

Turn down the degrees of the hell that i see...

The light is hidden behind clouds

Each time i can sense loneliness

As i walk unable to feel my feet

What's the source of an abandoned child inside of you

And the weather changes in your heart

The outcome is blood shed

Sometimes my own skin is a stranger as
i grow to be the man

My mother can smile at...

Or maybe frown

Did my mistakes cut too deep than it was?


Then i wasn't in operation of my misery

 I Had Lived...

I had survived..

In just few minutes away.

TREASURE IN THE WOODS

Sunlight graced the old cabin

as the door creaked open

dust covered photos

still hung on the walls.



There stood a brick fireplace

A mason jar atop

Filled with antique silver coins

glistening in the dim light.


A table in the corner

displayed open newspapers

and some hard covered books

Next to an oil lantern.


The wooden floor boards cracked

as the bedroom came to view

bunk beds lined in a row

Covered in hand quilted spreads.



An old diary lay

tucked beneath a pillow

held closed with a gold brooch

Annabelle 1809.


A lifetime of memories

as if frozen in time

hidden behind these walls

Of this treasure in the woods.

THE SOUL THAT DWELLETH INSIDE

The Soul That Dwelleth Inside...

All Along the Night-Tide

He lay eyes on her as the blissful sun began to subside

For in the depths of his being he so longed to make her his bride

He called out to her, abandoning his fear & his pride

Already adorning her, ever thankful that the two didn't collide.

Lo!

In God's Time they would marry

Still loving each other, utterly,magically,ever so duly

Verily. He and Her, intertwined in divine kisses of carefree ecstasy

For their union was of Destiny, of Wonder never to be

Lead asunder, free, Heavenly, evidently the plan of an all knowing entity

With blessings his essence once again found her

Through time & space that Heavenly
glow still surrounds her

For she believed in a vision

which never lied, whilst he never lost faith & let God be his guide

Wherefore, their togetherness is that of an eternal well

One that still hath not dried

On his knees he praises God

His head abreast their child in her belly

Overcome with gratitude he hath joyfully cried eternally thankful 4...

The Soul That Dwelleth Inside.

MY ESCAPADE

Lost in the music,

Lost in the feeling

Lost on the path and finding no meaning


Show me a sign

Show me a light

Show me a way with the ending in sight


Gone from this place

Gone from these lands

Gone from the pain

And the blood on my hands


Safe in the memory

Safe now it seems

Safe from myself in the world of my dreams.

EYES CAST DOWN

Eyes cast down

submissive stance

she's his clown

he leads the dance

Always at his bidding

no initiative to show

she must forever show willing

or his wrath she will know

He'll pay for whatever she wants

as long as she obeys

with pretty things he taunts

her emotions he plays

She's his possession

one of his toys

he's her obsession

she lovingly complies

With eyes cast down.

THE MESSAGE

Some have a scheme to steal the dawn

Some have a dream they build upon

Some search to win (power that pays)

Some search within through complex ways

Simple is best, when out to find

that special guest not found in mind.

TRACE

To come to me you must first wipe the world

from your skin scrub, from your mind

All stains of fear brush all cleverness away

Come to me in your white cleanliness

In openness without any walls

Like the day you first came to earth


Wrapped in lure of pure innocence

My arm is longing for a new trace.

END IT ALL NOW

Put me outside of my misery End this torrid nightmare of mine Stop this unease that matures This thing I label a false dream Go ahead! I dare you! Put the silver bullets in the chamber Aim the gun at my head And have the decency to pull the trigger You don’t have enough manners, do you? Pull the goddamn trigger! Put me outside of my misery! If you aren’t in my life I might as well be dead You might as well load up your gun And blow my brains out! So do it! What are you waiting for? Put me outside of my misery End this torrid nightmare of mine. ©

FIRST KISS

Picture this -
A first kiss
A Moment of bliss
A fleeting touch
Can mean so much


A moment's surrender
Can a lifetime of dreams engender?


You never regret
And never forget
It's one you can't miss
Your very first kiss

MY DEMONS

I allowed your demons to become my demons

I allowed beautiful lies became beautiful truths

The so called “lovemaking

With no emotions and feelings

Each time left me feeling even more empty

Than the time before

Legs wrapped around the idea of love

Your demons released in me, but deeper each time



The meaningless and emotionless sex took away from me

It took away from my soul and my spirit

Your demons slowly killed me on the inside

Giving me false realities

That I started hating inside out

Hating myself and everything about me

Feeling that I was feeling what you felt for me



The mirror and I were not friendly

So much I avoided looking at her at all costs

Until one day I caught a glimpse of myself

Every emotion over came me

That crying was the only option and cure

I hated the woman that was looking back at me

Wounded, hurt and broken



I had to pick up the pieces of my spirit and soul

And put myself back together

Leaving you alone was for the better

Breaking down and falling apart

So that I could fall together and break through



Believe it or not saved my life and helped me

release those demons

Rebuilding and reinventing myself

Took some time and I’m still working on me

But I’m loving the clever man that I am becoming



For the first time in a long time

I can say that I love me

And I love what I see when I look in the mirror

For the first time I can say I’m a gentleman
And I feel it….

Your demons are no longer my demons

And I am free

Blessed and thankful to be here

I am finally happy…

And I am finally free…!!

HOPELESS TALE

We all write what we want

I'll write about the life of ants if i want 

It doesn't matter that I stand alone

It makes no difference where i run to

Or where i was chased from

In sweet Times i hear good Times

Maybe they are lovelights

From the streets amidst the market sales

Let there be a story, not a hopeless tale

DESTINY

Through all the trials of life

And all the struggle and strife

I cannot help but to help this gloom

And I cannot save you from your fucking
doom


Life is a lesson learned and not taught

For all the feelings I hold on the inside

And all the curses that lead to suicide

What about the past or future

What about the path to make things better

Is this really me or the reasoning behind what’s lost?


As the blood under my skin burns and turns black

Time seems to break me down to the past

Doomsday is a state of mind that I cannot control

Faith is just another reason that love can be Sold

All this time I survived and really thought I fought

Can my undying love really ever last forever

And can my soul ever really accept the answer

Before me everything I love has died

Can anyone even see that I have tried

What about my own haunted thoughts

Nobody has ever really cared

And everyone seems a little scared

Sure my destiny is supposed to have a time and place

But it sure as hell aint something to embrace

I am defeated and I cannot take this very long



So my answers will never have questions

My questions will never be answered

I am nothing but alone and scarred

Razors through veins? Has its gone too far

Look at me with your ice cold stares and you know


Time has taken everything I ever loved

What is left besides emptiness too show

Rushing to the end because I am fucking done

Not having a destiny is the destiny that I am
supposed to love and embrace



I am standing on the edge

Knowing if I jump I will not leave a god damn trace

What do you think about me now

I don’t know what or how

Some kind of god I am supposed to understand



The only thing I understand is I am no man

I love you but I hate myself

I know I put me in this spell

I know your pain but do you really know mine



I’ll be ready to die and tell you I am fine

I love the world and everything that’s not me

And my destiny has no say in what’s to be..

Destiny... A tale in disguise.

THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME

There are more hours of darkness
than light

If you are awake for them

But in the hour of darkness,

Light is just a switch

From shadow

If you want to flip

Where there is light

There is the presence of darkness

The brighter the sun

The deeper the shadow

where there is darkness

There is the presence of light



If you know to look

The blacker the night,

The brighter the stars…

O the epiphanies of those dark hours!

O the presence of light!



At a performance of the shadow play

You do not watch the puppet

But the shadow of the puppet

That is considered reality

The life you have and hold

with him


Is a shadow play, a performance

The great adventure

The great drama

The great silhouette of reality

I know the story

But continue to watch

From the wings…

I am a poor puppet

Examining my own shadow

In the play of life



I see each dark movement magnified

Each dark monologue amplified

But at the edge

Of my open eye

Even on the blackest night

There is the sometimes faint

Sometimes fierce

Radiance of heroic stars.

UNBROKEN HEART

A time to reflect the beginning of an untamed soul

Look into a mirror

Tell me who is in control

Life draws endings closer for a heart worth much more

Falling apart seems the answer of a charitable curse

Breaking down again

A brand new sin

Questions seem to wonder only making things worse

Thinking back a long long time to an unbroken heart

Listening and hoping

Loving and believing

Oh but then things got so hard and grew so far apart

Like a child lost without a way to fly

Like a vision of easy ways

Someone counting stormy days

While others sit around just to wonder why

Such a broken insecure time of relentless changes



Bringing out the best

Put us through some tests

So much time lost and so many more empty places

Thinking back to a time of a heart unbroken

Boy turns to man

Girl turns to woman

But we all live in a time before the past was not our chosen

Summertime’s of glorious envious repetitive
ambitions

When things gone so astray

Speaking without words to say

Just another way to decline loves invitations

So much more than lost or just as alone as ever known



Never tears to cry

Hurting just to try

Forever and through it all I watch the light sitting all alone

In the past of the unbroken heart

Where dreams may come to live

Emptiness could fade

Tears would wash away

The unbroken heart seems so much stronger than life

But the broken heart has so much more to give

Bringing down the color of a million faces lost

Breaking without reason

Could not hold on

Lost in heavens sequel ignoring all loves cost

The unbroken heart is born so true to rise

The broken heart hurts for a while

While the unbroken hearts is fragile

The mended heart lives on.
