The Ghost Within….

i-meditate-on-fire
Moments caught
Off guard
The elemental truth
Unleashed from within
The eloquent fire
Of things you knew
Things you are afraid to say
And Midnight tears
Cannot Suffused the
Pain
And
The way your stealth disguise
Shameful layers
Glowed on painted skin
Hiding the black
And
The blue
The needles harsh
Flesh wounds
Sinking down
Down into the abyss
Of self degradation
Humiliation
Deterioration
Never to care
Never to feel
Never to rise
A life sentence
Of self-righteous
discrimination
Your ghost
Like Paper moon
Haunts the living
And the dead
No way back
No way out
The soul imprisoned
Thirty to life©

Poetry Today

The Inner Storm of Love……


There’s lightening

Beneath my skin

And magic

In my veins

I walk

Near the cliff of death

Giving in

To the inner storm

Of love©

Poetry Today

You knew I was broken…..


You knew I was broken

Scraps and bones remain

Still you walk on the edge of 

Death with me

Whispering a thousand reason

Why you need me

Why together we are

light and darkness

And for your heart

To keep beating

You need my light……

……..I have never heard such beauty

such simple words

Holding me between life

And death©

Poetry Today

Unwrap me…..

Unwrap me

Taste ripples of love

Tipsy across my skin

Yearning for

The heat of your lips

The sweetest rush

You my love 

Are an indulgent

I can’t live without©

Poetry Today

I own the world around you…..

I made no avow

Bold or simple

I have no claim

To your life

I do not own you

But I do own

The night

The dawn

The air

That held your dreams

Captive

I own the world

Around you

And love the way

It makes you unsteady©

Poetry Today

You were born to be great…..


Putting the past 

Behind you

Spread out

Your ageless wings

Of topaz

Of rose buds

In a valley

Thorns

You are fire

Rise up 

Burn away the ash

From docile skin

Reveal your true nature

You were born

With diamonds

On the tip

Of your tongue©

Poetry Today

Caught in your perfect storm

I’m in love with

The Rhythm of your soul

The way you move

The very essence of

Time

Caught deep

In the avalanche

Of your perfect storm©

Poetry Today

Holding off the impending darkness….

light-dark

No one notice that the days are getting shorter, that hope is fading. No one seems to care. These days I notice everything. The whips of smoke that seems to spell your name in the sky. The sweet call of hummingbirds reminding each other of their undying love. The way memories taste like ash and licorice. There’s a fountain of pain that rises up within me, each one recounting my failures, my regrets, my past. The countless ways my heart wraps around dead words, trying to bring them back to life. This world once light me on fire, filled me with hope, kissed me each morning with it’s glorious beauty,  now I search the days trying to find something worthy, something that will remind me that life is worth fighting for.

Life is a battle

A cadence of irreversible decisions

The truth bleeds out

From the edges of time

We see nothing

We feel nothing

Until it’s too late

Death lick the nonsense

That flowed from our tongues

We have out played our hands

The curtain is falling

Our nakedness exposed

The air is tight

Thunder is gathering

Exile memories

Bond together

Fighting for survival

At night we sleep with the demons

And rise expecting the world

To bend to our will

We are mere puppets

Walking a thin line

Between life and death©

Poetry Today

The power of poetry

The power of poetry has

Crippled my senses

Leaving me helpless

Forever lost

Longing to be filled

With the magic and Majesty

Of words and thoughts
