Peter the Artist

Moments inscribed by thy heart and mine
Slowly dissolving by the passing of time
Ululating false to our tailored truths
Paving way for decaying shoes

You seek for balance and I fancy peace
A contradiction to my restless ease
Un-reflecting love in the midst of your eyes
But nothing defeats the power of denial

I gravitate to morbid fascination
Nothing less than your voluptuous facaad
That convicts me in a mental facility
Which accommodates my gorious rhapsody

We've become a retinue my shadow and I
To your mysterious adventures you'd left behind
I still see thee as my moon and stars
But do free me soon from these prison bars

You are a breeze of the ocean on a Summer's day
If not carols on a Christmas day
Perhaps affection to a heart tormented by dismay
Peter, loving you was not a mistake
...just a gentle kiss to compose my quake

Comfort Zone

I FIND IT HILARIOUSLY SADDENING 
THAT EVEN TO THIS DAY... 
MY STILL FURTIVELY PURSUES HISTORY
AS IF IT WILL HELP THE FUTURE 

HINDERING ON SEEMS LIKE 
A LIFE LONG GOAL 
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ENVISION YET ALONE ATTEMPT
BUT 
HOPEFULLY- 
THOUGH I DOUBT, FAITH WILL GET ME THERE. 

I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH SHADOWS OF DARK BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF US 
AND ECHOES OF OUR LOST BUT TREASURED LOVE 
FOR HOURS TOO 
INFINITE TO NUMB-ERRRRRRRRR... 
EMIGRATION WOULD BE THE ONLY ROUTE TO CLEANSING MY SOUL 
THOUGH MY HEART SOULY UNDERSTANDS THAT ONLY 
YOUR LOVE
CAN REHABILITATE ME 

CURSES ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL SO 
MEETING YOU WAS NOT ONE
ATTACHMENT IS HUMANLY AND 
I AM NOT MADE OF STEEL 

LOVING YOU IS STRANGE 

NOT BECAUSE I'M NOT USED TO IT,OH NO! 
BUT BECAUSE I'M SO FAMILIAR WITH IT 
THAT I NEEDN'T NOTHING LESS THAN IT 
NOR SLIGHT INCHES MORE THAN IT... 

FOR YOUR LOVE 
IS MY COMFORT ZONE.

The Cantebury Tale

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WOULD END 
NOTHING THAT THE GREAT gods Of GREECE MAY DEFEND 
TRUMPETS FROM THE HEAVENS HAD WARNED US TO REPENT 
BUT THE LORD'S VOICE TO SINNERS IS SIMPLY LIGHTNING THAT MEN DETEST 

I LISTEN TO THE RAIN AS I WATCH IT POUR 
EACH DROP TELLS A TALE AS I OPEN THE DOOR 
LETTERS FROM THE ENGINEER OF LIFE AND TIME 
ENCRYPTED WITH NAMES YOURS AND MINE 

I AM NO PROPHET I MAY BE A LIAR 
BUT SUNNY DAYS AND CLEAR SKIES I DO DESIRE 
NO MAN CAN WALK OUT HIS STORY AND RETIRE 
AND IF MY WORDS CAUSE GRIEF TURN THE PAGE 
OR SET IT ON FIRE 

THIS IS NO POEM BUT A MILD TEMPERED LETTER 
THAT COMETH FROM A POET BUT YOU AND I KNOW BETTER... 
IF YOU BELIEVE IN JEHOVAH THEN SET HIGHER GOALS 
HAVE FAITH IN HEAVEN AND HOLD ON TO YOUR SOULS
